Recovery is going ok. The bruising started showing up the other day. They feel like they go all the way to my hips.
REALLY tired. Take more naps then actually sleep. They do not tell you that your first week of BM's will make you want to cry. Lower back hurts a little bit. Just feel like I have been punched in the stomach.
2 days in the hospital, first few days I moved really slow.
Though for just over a week of being out of the hosp. I think I am doing well. starting to feel like a little more like me. very little post op bleeding. They do not give you enough info of the after part of the surgery if anyone has any questions please do not be afraid to ask.
No emotional upset so far. Cried with my dad the other night when he asked me how I was. I was more upset before. I have been told since I was 16 I would probably not be able to have children, and probably have to have a hysterectomy at a younger age. While walking to the op table and trying not to look at all the equiptment around me I realized that this was it, this was FINAL.
I do not feel less of a woman, I actually feel relieved and keep reminding myself that the pain that I am in now will be the last of this kind of pain I will ever have to deal with. No more being anemic once a month, no more cramps that are so bad that I cannot move, no more feeling weak, and no more miscarriages.
Well this is all I can take for sitting on my bum for a while. They also do not tell you that sitting makes you feel like your being torn in half. I did not have an abdominal hysterectomy. They went the other way. And well you feel like your being pulled.
Hope everyone is doing well. My b-day is on Monday, so looking forward to having some company. Getting the bored itch.
