The pain got pretty bad again on Sunday night so we went to CareDoc who sent us to Clonmel hospital.
They did some x-rays and tests and also some scans. Again, these showed the PCOS in the right ovary.
There was still some very clear blood in my urine. The Dr's were fantastic and very informative, although they readily admitted that they know very little about the IVF process.
They kept me in hospital, on Cyclomorph (morphine) injections until this morning, when we left for Cork as we had a pre-arranged appointment with Dr. Waterstone and it was very necessary that we keep this appointment.
So they did a scan at the Clinic and together we discussed and reviewed the issues and test results that had accumulated over the past four and a half weeks. Everything was pointing to a pretty significant blockage in my bowel. So, Dr. Waterstone gave me a prescription for some enemas and some medication to help to clear out my bowels, with instructions that if they haven't worked by Thursday to contact him directly and return to the Clinic.
For now though, I am super glad to be home (again) and am very tired. I never sleep properly in hospital.
We also spoke to Dr. Waterstone today about the Noah Foundation and what our plans were and how we would like to deal exclusively with his Clinic. He was quite surprised and even admitted to feeling humbled at what he was hearing.
He is very happy to liaise with us, so that through the Noah Foundation, we can provide as much support as possible to individuals and couples who are going through the same thing as us.
I am very excited about the whole Noah Foundation idea and can't wait to be well enough to really get working on it.
Must go and rest for now though, all curled up in front of the fire.
