A couple of days ago, KC was scheduled to have a lapraroscopy to remove 2 cysts, a fibroid, and to determine whether or not she had endometriosis. She had been experiencing a lot of pain, and her doctor recommended this approach to alleviate the pain.
The procedure was scheduled to begin at 2:30 pm. Of course, it did not start until 4 pm. However, the procedure ended up taking 4 hours (we were only expecting it to last 2 hours or so). It was determined that KC had Level IV endometriosis (the most severe). Fortunately, the surgeon was able to excise the endometriosis - he believed that he had managed to excise all of it (along with removing the cysts and fibroid). In any case, due to the severity of her endometriosis (she had some on her liver), the procedure took a long time.
The surgery concluded at 8 pm. KC was admitted to a hospital room at 2:30 am after the nurses determined that she was way too dizzy, nauseous, and dehydrated to send her home. We finally left the hospital yesterday (at around 4 pm).
