To give you some piece of mind here is my blog posting after my surgery. I had some of the things done that you did and I had the catheter in for 11 days. I will give you a couple links from right after up and a couple after if you are interested to ease your mind. If you feel something is wrong though, you know your own body, take yourself to emergency. I did have a hyster but other than that I am sure you can relate.

You might want to read more of my blog because yes we are a like. I have contemplated suicide since I was 15 yrs old and was hospitalized a couple of months ago because I was having visions of slashing my wrists and I couldn't stop feeling that I was going to follow through.
It is understandable that you feel alone and I can't express to you enough that you need to join the Endometriosis community on twitter and Facebook as there are thousands of women worldwide that are online at all times to help anyone in need, even if it means to talk through the suicidal and depressive thoughts.
Let me know where again you live and I probably know some girls in your area and some meet up groups. These are vital because you feel so much better going to make friendships with girls that could potentially be there for you in years to come.
I started on twitter two years ago and that is when Endo was hot and awareness was being raised from all parts of the world. It was empowering. Same with Facebook :)
Let me know as my memory is gone as to where you live. I am thinking St. Louis LOL.

Hey Reese-
Me again. Just to give you some hope.
In my last surgery in 2010 I was worst case scenario. I had so much endo she removed my entire pelvic wall, excised off my bowel and bladder and all around my ovaries. I was pain free for 3 years (: This time I only had two nasty spots so was downgraded from Stage 4 to Stage 2. Never lose hope.
Stay in bed and rest. The more you rest now the faster you will heal and get back to the business of living (:

Thank you Lu, for your support..
I am here if you guys need me. :) You will get through this I promise.
Hi Lulu
Just read your post can you tell me who your surgeon was & can you confirm if she used excision rather than ablation? P.S. I know it was in 2010 how are you now? Many thanks
