Things have been rough for Danielle Busby lately. The OutDaughtered star is recovering from a recent surgery, and has a long journey ahead of her. In an Instagram post on November 18th, she wrote: "What a morning!!! I experienced the worst physical pain I have ever had in my life at my doctor's office this morning."
Fortunately, Danielle has a good team on her side to help her through her recovery. Danielle said that, as she was lying on the sofa with the family dog, Beaux, she realized that her husband, Adam, had thoughtfully given her a shirt with a nice message on it after she had asked him for one of his shirts to wear that morning. The shirt read "have a nice day" and had a big smiley face on it.
She added, quote, "LOL! That's all I want... a nice day and the pain to go away!"
The Busbys revealed on November 12th that Danielle was heading to the hospital for a major procedure. The couple provided more details on YouTube. Danielle admitted in a vlog:
Danielle revealed that complications during her pregnancy with the quints had led to her developing PCOS, or polycystic ovary syndrome, a painful condition in which cysts form and then rupture on her ovaries.
While Danielle has put on a brave face the past three years, she's been going through a lot of pain.
Danielle also revealed that things have been getting worse with time, admitting:
"This last year has been the top of the scale with lots of pain and days every month where I'm just not able to get out of bed, and I have to because, you know, I have six kids. Polyps have now started to form and grow inside my uterus. There's a medical term for it, but whatever it's called, [in] mom terms, I have cysts, I have polyps, and I have extreme pain 24/7 with my back and my stomach."
Danielle underwent other treatments before deciding to get a hysterectomy, including birth control and various medications, but none of them worked. Hopefully, the hysterectomy will alleviate Danielle's PCOS symptoms, but she likely has a long recovery ahead of her. According to WebMD, hysterectomy recovery can take up to eight weeks, depending on what kind of procedure is done. During recovery, patients need to rest at home and avoid heavy lifting.
Danielle is optimistic that the procedure will help.
While having a hysterectomy means that Danielle won't be able to conceive another baby if the Busbys decide to have more kids, there's still a chance that they might adopt one day. Even before Danielle's hysterectomy, the couple had already decided against having more biological children.
Danielle told Us Weekly in June:
"Shop's closed. It would be nice to have a little boy and carry on the Busby name here, but there won't be any more children unless one day God put it on our hearts to adopt."
Adam said that the Busbys will, quote, "never completely shut the door on" adoption and that it's, quote, "something we'll always stay open minded to." Watch the video to learn Why Danielle Busby Is In The 'Worst Physical Pain' Of Her Life.
