I am on day 7 post op from my Hysterectomy and I have to say this is a surgery I don't suggest for anyone to have unless you have no other option! I am atleast able to get up and down without assistance, but I still can't stand up straight. I have tried to walk a little each day and that just about does it for me for the day.
Oh and the bruising....I would take a picture and post, but since I don't have a "bikini body", I am just going to pass on that one...I am bruised from my belly button down to my labia and then from one side of my belly to the other. It looks like I have been beat with a baseball bat repeatedly. My best friend, Lorina, looked at it and her first response was "Holy shit"....then she was pretty much a loss for words.
My incisions are all healing. Yes I said all, not just one. I have my huge abdominal incision where I had all three of my csections, two on each side above my labia, one in my vaginal opening, and then the area where they took my cervix is sewn together on the inside. Note to whoever is having a Hysterectomy and Bladder Suspenion in the future: You will be shaved as bald as a newborn...just sayin'... So imagine having your incisions and your hair growing back in...OMG!
My pathology came back and it showed that I had a Paratubal Cyst in my right fallopian tube (that explains the pain and pressure feeling on that side), my right ovary was normal, my left fallopian tube was normal, my left ovary had cortical inclusion cysts, these 9 out of 10 times turn into ovarian cancer, and that is it. Everything was benign! HALLELUJAH!
Now I can take a deep breath, relax, and try not to go insane while my body adjusts to being put into "medical menopause". I am taking hormone replacement therapy (seems to help) and emotional. The insomnia at night is horrible too, hopefully that will improve as well. I am so ready to get back to my normal routine! I am tired of watching TV & laying around!
Thank you to all my absolutely wonderful friends that have brought us dinner and all the prayers! Thank you so much to my WONDERFUL HUSBAND who is taking care of me day in and day out, being at my beck and call!
Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!
