count down to the a.m. Hysterectomy

[unsavedtrash]

I hear the drugs will be fantastic.
I have been smoking from the nerves.
Well, I didn't really want to birth babies anyways.
Please send happy thoughts southward tomorrow as I'm pretty scared.
But on a brighter note my finals are finally over today. :woohoo:

1. Well, bless your heart, unsavedtrash

Major surgery bites big time. But yes, the drugs are sweeeet. I had this little bracelet with The Magic Morphine Button. My sisters said they'd see pain in my face, and I was so out of it that they had to remind me I could push the button, and within five seconds they could see my face relax.

I'm sorry you're having this surgery. I hope it's not a tremendous blow to you to be losing the organ(s), and that you will be well and healthy when it's over with.

Don't rush back to the computer . . . it's going to hurt to move for a while.

:hug:

2. I wish you the best of luck and a speedy recovery

When you feel back up to it, please check in and let us know how you are doing. You will be in this atheist's prayers until then.

3. Hope all goes well and you heal quickly

:hug:

Had hysterectomy in '91...took a bit longer for me to heal as was the third time same place belly cut due two other operations that led up to the hysterectomy.

Enjoy the drugs, and if you have a lot of gas afterward, ask for a small cup of prune juice. It does wonders in getting the body started again.

4. Sending out my best vibes!

I'm sure all will go well.

:hug:

My mom had it done a few years ago. It didn't seem like she was "held down" for too long.

I tend to look at it this way---A lot of those "women cancers" are hard to detect sometimes and if you don't have those parts, you can't get those cancers.


Good luck. :hug:

5. because they'll have to actually cut through some

major muscle to get to your organs (as opposed to going in vaginally, which they can only do if you've already given birth), be VERY VERY gentle with yourself as you heal. My sister had one last year, and really, the surgery is not the hard part, the recovery is. You MUST take care of yourself post-op. Do you have someone around to help you the first few days?

You'll be fine. No worries. Just do take it easy afterward, OK?

[unsavedtrash]

6. thank you all for the kind thoughts

my SO will be here with me through it all

7. Oh, UST, I don't know you, but I wish you the best tonight. This CANNOT be a pleasant

thing you're facing, drugs or not; I only wish you well.

with the narcotics.

19. Know Many Who Had Trouble-Free Hystos; Hope To Add You To That List!

I know quite a few women who've had hysterectomies, either as elective surgeries or to correct a problem, and all them had zero post-op problems. My friends are childfree, and therefore nullaparous, and some were able to have the vaginal procedure (it really depends upon why it is being done). No matter what, don't lift anything heavier than teacup once you're out, and best wishes for a quick, uneventful healing!

[BlueIris]

20. I was just thinking there was someone here about to have this procedure.

And here you are. I'm taking that as a good sign. I will be thinking many positive thoughts for you.

21. Good vibes

I hope you have an easy recovery. :hug:

22. I had it done almost six years ago. Third greatest day in my

reproductive life (after the birth of my two girls). The drugs are indeed fine - enjoy! I had the vaginal one so it really wasn't that bad. I hope yours goes smoothly! :hug:
