Surgery (March 2020)

My surgery March 2020 - Blog about my endometriosis and PCOS by Sabeena Ahmed

For those that don't know I was admitted to hospital after a few weeks of excruciating pain in my left ovary and required urgent surgery.

My cyst was removed 17th March 2020.

My consultant informed me that the cyst had ruptured and had welded itself to my colon and left ovary. He removed the white ruptured cyst cleaned me up. but could not see any signs of Endometriosis or PCOS due to inflammation.

I was in two minds about attaching photographs of my ruptured cyst and decided against it.

Thank you to all my friends and family who sent get well messages.

My father in law was a quiet gentle kind man. He never had a bad word to say about anyone.

We shared our birthdays together. 

We would call each other to wish each other a happy birthday.

A journalist for over 40 years he spent his time gardening and spending quality time with his family after he had retired.

He was diagnosed with dementia 4 and half years ago and a few months an ear infection caused a direct deterioration of his health.

He lived on this earth for 89 years.

His funeral was held 29th August 2020.

May Allah subnhana wa'tala bless him with a beautiful seat in Paradise, Aameen!
