Toughing It Out

Namaste!
It's been a tough 13 days! I'm sorry I haven't blogged. For the first week of March, I decided to take extra hours at work. I ended up working a 6 day week so that I have enough money to buffer the financial burden of taking time off to go to Manitoba for vacation (which was booked before my surgery was) and then time off for surgery/recovery.
I've been overworked, over-stressed, and in a lot of pain needless to say.
I celebrated my birthday on the 8th, and struggled. I had to get some chores done beforehand like grocery shopping and I couldn't believe how exhausted I was. I had a really good day, but I was just dragging my feet because of how tired I was. I was like that for most of the week.

Then a few days ago, the bloating started. My belly puffs out a lot and I sometimes look pregnant. I hide under baggy sweaters and wear yoga pants so it doesn't put pressure on my tender belly. I've also had sharp pain in my ovaries (left one mostly) and the pain goes down my left leg. I've also had what feels like menstrual cramps. I take my Advil every 4 hours but it only takes care of some of the pain.
I'm nervous to be going on a trip in 3 days cuz I haven't travelled as an "endometriosis patient."
I'm worried about being in pain, I'm worried about finding restrooms since I go so often.. I'm worried about getting sick!
I need to RELAX!
I'll be okay.

I really need this vacation. Visit friends. Have fun. Forget about work, surgery, and at-home drama. That's the whole point of "going away" right??

I hope I feel better soon.

I go to the hospital tomorrow morning/afternoon for my pre-surgical clinic. I get to pee in cups. Yay! Lol!

Goodnight lovies!
