Thread: Back home after an hysterectomy: WEEEE!! :o)

AAAAH! Home sweet home! I'm back since yesterday morning and so glad to sleep and nap in my bed... and eat food with taste! Just can't bare the view of mashed potatoes and frozen peas anymore

My surgeon took out of my belly two fibroids the size of grapefruit and a bunch of smaller ones that were all around the uterus. Since my ovaries and the cervix were in good shape, he left them in. And lucky me, I don't have any vaginal bleading. Before leaving the hospital, a nurse took all the stapples on my scar and replace them with stripes of surgical tape. Cute!..g.:

I feel prudy good, althought my belly is a bit swollen today, but the medication should take care of that in a few days. I took a two hours nap again this afternoon with our two "pudy cats", and then around 9 PM my bed is calling me ,s::, so I'm taking it easy and enjoying it.

Thanks again to all your loyal Bhuzzers who send get well wishes and prayer, love you.

Welcome back home! I am so glad everything went well. I was praying for you and I will keep your continued healing in my prayers as well. Big hugs from Ohio

Congrats on a healthy outcome!

Hey girl, welcome back, I am soooooooooooo glad you are back home and are doing good. I have a few fibroid cysts myself, but I am trying to have a baby with my husband, so hysterectomy is out of the question for a while.

Glad to hear you're well and home resting. Take it easy and you'll be back to yourself in no time!

Take it easy! Glad the operation went well.

Qmar, glad you are resting up. Stay ahead of the pain with medication. Keep us posted.

remember to have sweet dreams while you nap!

SO GLAD everything went well! All DONE, it gets MUCH better from here!

By the way the swelling stays for a bit, I had one side with swelling. Looked pretty funny! Made my husband laugh and then me and then pain from laughing! (so my advice, don't watch any commedies for a few days!)

Oh isn't it nice to curl up with the cats!!!! They are always up for that, my four ALWAYS want to sleep with me! So be a cat, sleep and get better!

Good on you! My wife had hers 12 years ago, multiple fibroids - they just took *everything* out. Took her a long time to get her strength back, but she doesn't miss her period or going through menopause!

Glad you're home & all went well (grapefruit!? ) Meds are a wonderful thing, keep taking them I'll keep you in my thoughts for a continued speedy recovery ..g.:

Thank you guys!

Back in '01, I had surgery to remove 10 uterine fibroid tumors, 1 of which was the size of a grapefruit (When I went to have my staples removed, doc showed me a polaroid pic of that sucker she had taken as they took it out during surgery!:)). You had "twins" (grapefruits)!!! ..l;,
Congrats & Glad you're home now! I'm happy that you're happy; rest up good and well, Missy! We shall all be dancing joyfully (and pain-free) together soon!..g.:

Wow grapefruits?? I had no idea they got that big! Glad everything went well and get some rest.

Glad to hear you are doing well. Take good care of yourself & don't over do it.

I am feeling better little by little, execpt for yesterday, I have met my new enemy: constipation! .w.:,m::

Believe me you don't have to be a queen to spend long time "on the trone". I thought my scar was going to rip open! But finaly in the evening, number two append and I had some relief before going to bed. Have to be careful with what I eat untill the scar star pulling a little less.

I'm doing hand sewing to pass the time. I'm remodeling an old silver bedlah, but that's a other thread, will post some pics later.

Kissy, kissy

I'm so glad you are doing well. There's a All Bran fiber drink that tastes like iced tea (or even lemonade), they have 10g of fiber and are really good. Maybe that will help.
Take care!

Hello would have written sooner, but couldn't get Bhuzz to take either of my names here...but so glad you are doing better after hyster. Having the hyster is so...bad...but glad that you are doing well.

Thank you KelsNasim, I'll check if that All Bran drink is available in Montreal, but I do eat All Brand cereal at breakfast thought. Allready asked my man to bring prune juice from the supermarket later, usualy it works.

Thank you Babooka, welcome to Bhuzz, you to may become a bhuz-addict!

Hugs!

I have good luck with Welch's Concord Grape juice before bed.

Glad to hear you are recovering well and feeling better!

Hello, do u have milk of magnesia were you are? I took that on the second day of another stomach surgery (had uterine cancer again) and the hosp won't let you go home unless you have a bowel movement! Needless to say, I waited too late to go to the bathroom and ended up cleaning my mess that I trailed to the bathroom! Yuch!

When I was on chemo, I had to literally chisel myself out, maybe also take stool softner, but the milk of magnesia works on me now and my hubby....so do take care!

Found out the more I walked and stuff, my healing was better too.
After surgeries, I was made to get out of bed like 2 hours later and the nurses forced me to walk..I thought it was crazy but it helped to heal me faster.

Oh! God old M Of M! Got it in the drug cabinet, and didn't thought of that, duh! Will try it.

Yep! Me too, the same day of surgery, 6 hours later, two nurses came to held me out of bed and walk to the chair to sit! But it helps!
