Loving the herd life
I did get to go home on Sunday.
So, this may be a TMI moment for the guys, and I suggest you don't read further if you don't want to know about "girl parts", lol.
I had a tubal done, because I'm done having kids (about time, right?). I woke up to them removing the trach tube, coughing and gagging, and it went down hill from there. Just extreme pain without relief and a nasty rude nurse. The nurse said I was just being "emotional" because I was in tears from the pain and couldn't choke out any words because my throat was swollen - even though when she asked if I was in pain I nodded my head yes and gave her 10 fingers for intensity.
She ignored me and said it was just emotion and gave me Ativan...and still no pain relief since Ativan is an anti-anxiety med, after several hours of suffering with what felt like being gut shot with a large caliber rifle, I squeaked out that I wanted to go home - mostly to get away from the nurse because she wasn't getting the hint that the tears are purely from intense pain and her not getting the picture that I'm suffering. I went back to the ER a few hours later because the pain was unbearable even after taking the percoset, and doubling the dose advised by the on-call doctor from my office.
So they pulled me back and put me on a morphine pump which instantly relieved it, then they kept me for observation all day Saturday and Sunday to make sure it wasn't a problem with bleeding or any other issues. For whatever reason, apparently my tubes did not like being banded at all and that's all it was. I have zero bleeding at the two tiny incisions and only a normal amount of bleeding anywhere else. I feel fine, although a bit tender, today.
Of course I'd gush over a new goat, that's a lot more fun to talk about than how your ovaries are throwing a fit over you not wanting anymore children, lol!
DH is happy I'm home I think, other than the discomfort and being up and down a lot last night. He didn't have a good weekend, lots of "farm stress" and not knowing who/what/where. We lost one of our doe rabbits, she had a big litter and he was lost with what to do (she had 12 that are a week or so old) and he was unprepared to bottle feed them. One of our others had lost her litter the day before, they were all deformed and still born, so I suggested giving them all to her.
So, DH is sending me pics in the hospital of rabbits because he doesn't know which one to give them to. Luckily, Daisy decided she wants those babies and is caring for them. Then of course I'm worried about my alpine doe dropping babies while I'm gone because she's bagging up massively, I ask DH if Missy looks any closer and the reply is "which one is that?". I tell him "The alpine"...he says "what's she look like?". I tell him "the black and white one that looks like a cow" - oh ok, yeah her udder is huge....dude I know it is, now go look at her backside and tell me if she's got discharge, lol.
