Yesterday I received my CTscan results and I'm pleased to say they were good. Late yesterday afternoon, my Dr. called with my surgery date. I will be going in on Monday, Feb. 9th; while I was hoping we wouldn't need to do a total hysterectomy, we still do. I have been cautious to share here, but there may be someone out there going through this or having gone through it. Having a major surgery at 62 isn't something I take lightly or is it something I would choose, but if it prevents me from dealing with something else in the future, I'm o.k. with it. I will be in the hospital for 2-3 days and then the first two weeks of recovery are supposed to be hard. All I know it that I'm glad there are pain pills that can help. This has been such an interesting journey; one my sister walked 18 yrs ago. I never thought I'd have to walk in the same path, but I know the Lord has a plan here-for my good.
I hope you have a good day!
Hugs,
Noreen

I just know you are going to sail through this just fine. You take care of yourself and you are very healthy. You exercise daily and are in good shape. You will do great. And we will cover you in prayer! I will be waiting anxiously over here to hear that it went well and it's all behind you! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh, sweetie- I did this at 29 and its not easy. The first 6 hours after surgery are the worst, so when its happening, just remember it will not last forever. Get up and walk as soon as you can and walk as much as you can the first couple of days. The more you walk the less you will hurt. I had to take the first ones with all the poles and bags with me, and my steps were slow and shakey, but 24 hours made the most amazing difference. Keep a pillow with you for coughing and laughing and sneezing! Hold it tight! Do not drive until they say you can! (I was bad and almost cried)
ReplyDeleteI had surgery late Friday afternoon and came home on Monday morning. I had to wait for my bowel sounds to come back first. Came home with no pain meds- took 2 tylenol in the hospital the next day. Once I got up, I didn't need them. The morphine pump right after is a wonderful thing! You will need help wiping your butt the first time! Everyone does. You just can't twist around and we don't have gorilla arms. You can do this. Promise!
Take comfort in the thought that the procedure now is a ZILLION times better than it was 18 yrs ago! Sending prayers your way! Keep a positive attitude and only take pain meds if necessary (they are constipating!!!) Sending lots of positive vibes your way!
ReplyDeleteSo glad your CT scan came out okay! We'll be praying for your successful surgery and good recovery!

I'm glad that there was "good" news in the CT Scans. It was nice to feel the warmth of the past few days but I'm ready to have winter return. You are so strong and fit that I bet that you'll do much better than the average patient. I am thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteI think my mommy was in her 50's and had it TOTALED out too. You will do fine.. Pills work!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear the good news sorry to hear you still have to have surgery. You're in God's hands though so keep trusting Him.
ReplyDeleteWhile any surgery isn't to be taken lightly and while 62 isn't technically young, I'm confident that you'll do fine. First of all, you're in good health overall and surgery/recovery now is improved over 18 years ago. Regardless, you're in my prayers, my friend.
