And the anesthesia meant that I would need to pump and dump and that it would prolong my recovery time, which also didn't sound great. But then being put under didn't sound wonderful. I'd had it. I don't want to see another hospital or doctor. I don't want to at this point. I don't trust anybody. Why would I want to go under and have you operate on me when it seems like you've already failed me?

Everything would be fine. We're just going to fix it. I went home and I remember walking in my door and my husband and my mom were there and I didn't even say a word. I just collapsed into my husband's arms and started bawling my eyes out.

The thing that was so frustrating to me is that that visit was on a Friday because she claimed that she was going to get me on the schedule probably Friday at the earliest. So it was going to be another week or so. It might be a little bit longer, but I got to see if I can find us an operation room. I said that to my husband and my mom.

And my mom was like, she needs to find you a time like tomorrow. And my husband called back and very kindly but firmly told them that they needed to find a room ASAP. So they called back and got a room the next day. But in that time, I didn't trust them. So I went and got a second opinion from an OB in the office that I had started with at the very start of my pregnancy journey.

It was a different OB. They'd hired a new OB in the time that I was away. I went to this new OB, told her my story. She took a look. And what she told me was that, yes, very swollen. You're healing. You do have a second degree tear. But what she didn't tell you was that you have granulation tissue forming already.

And I didn't know what that meant, but I guess what granulation tissue is a sign of is that the open part of the tear is already healing. If my OB had put me under, the success rate of restitching it would only have been 50-50 because of the granulation tissue. I guess granulation tissue doesn't adhere well. There's a chance it could, but there's also the high chance that it might not.

So she's like, the potential that you go under and encounter another surgery and it failing is pretty high. She said either that or her plan was to scrape off the granulation tissue, stitch you back up, and then that would probably be a more high success rate. But the thing is, then you're prolonging your healing even that much further. Or your other option is just to let it go.
