It's been a week

Hard to believe a week has gone by since my hysterectomy.

When I first came home I was feeling really good, how little did I know I was going to go downhill a few days later.

I had a set back (low grade fever) which lasted about 48 hours. Thanks to my primary I bounced back quickly.

I'm now feeling better and moving better. Still slow but better.

No one told me how sore this was going to be. I have a very low tolerance to pain so to me it's probably not as bad as I think.

I having been taking the prescribed pain medication. I'm not sure if that was the reason I got sick. Mind over matter.

Would I do this again, heck no .. but I don't have to worry about it cause the surgery is over and the cancer is gone.

It's a hurdle

I felt really good when I came home on Sunday .. but not so good today .. actually that's not true. I feel good I just hurt like crazy.

I've been eating a high fiber diet as suggested but needed help using a product Peri-Colace

I'm able to get up and down pretty good but not doing so good getting out of bed.

All in all not bad for someone who had major surgery 4 days ago.

I couldn't believe that I was allowed to take a shower today, even though I have staples in my belly .. the incision appears to go from hip bone to hip bone. Medical technology has come a long way.

I looked up my Dr. (after the surgery) and found him. He is an awesome Dr.

Home Again

Arrived at the hospital about 8:30 am. Ken and my daughter stayed until I was in recovery.

Dr. told them there was just a little cancer in the uterous but it's all gone when he took everything out.

I'm moving slow but moving around the trailer better than I thought I would. Actually getting out of the bed in the trailer is easier than the hospital bed.

Dr. said I can take a shower but will wait until tomorrow .. Really looking forward to washing my hair.
