Wednesday went to the surgeon's had had the staples removed .. stung a bit on the right side but all in all not bad. Another strip of disposable tape was applied over the incision.
I've continuing to feel better every day. There has been no nausea for 3 days now which is great.
I'm still moving slow but surprising faster. If that makes any sense. Not a good idea though to forget I just had major surgery and try to do things at the speed I used to. I do get reminded when I've done to much.
Not sure if related but I've had no migraines since the surgery .. sure would be nice if the two were related.
I go back to the surgeon 9/2, probably for my final release.

Got on the scale
Went out today for the first time since the surgery. Had to do a fasting blood sugar.
I've been reading forums and blogs from other women who have had hysterectomy's to understand what I'm going through.
One such reading was about the lack of no weight loss but weight gain after loosing so much of your insides .. I must be one of the few exceptions .. I've lost 2 pounds 11 days after the surgery.
I'm not complaining .. Nope not me. I'm surprised myself at how well I'm doing. I move around fairly well (slow of course) and the pain (for me I have zero tolerance ) has been there but not as bad as I thought it would be. I don't know what the future holds in this department.
Each day is a new experience for me.

Moving along
I can not believe it was just a week ago that I came home from the hospital after having a complete abdominal hysterectomy.
I feel for a 55 year old, over weight and not the best of health woman I seem to be right on schedule with many other women I've read about online that are younger than me.
I have to thank GOOGLE for helping me as I progress .. any questions I've had I just google it. Don't think I've had any questions that weren't answered.
For one .. numbness in the abdominal area. It's normal and will go away with time.
Although I walk slowly I am able to get up and down on my own. Still need pain medication but not like I did when I first came home.
I'll be getting the staples out this week. I'm looking forward to seeing a difference in how I feel.
