Hi all,

I am sorry this is so late. I have been staying away from the computer as much as possiable. Well as you can tell I made it through my surgery. It went well. I had my first and only hot flash the morning after surgery. It didn’t help that I had a migraine and felt nauseated. Well the dr. came in and gave me a patch that had estrogen in it. That did the trick. I had surgery on a Tuesday and came home on Thursday. I had my first catheter with this surgery. Know one told me you would have a hard time going to the bathroom after one. The nurse made me feel like a little kid. She turned the water on in the sink and than gave me a drink with a straw in it. I was to blow into the straw. She said it relaxes the muscles you need to pee. Than there was a little thing called you have to pass gas before you can go home. Do you know how hard it is to pass gas when you don’t feel like you have too? Well I made it home. Tony stayed home with me the week after my surgery. He has been so great. He wont let me doing anything that I should not be doing. He has washed the clothes and dishes as well as vacuum. We have had so many great people bring in meals. It was nice that way Tony could work from home and takes care of the house and girls and not have to cook dinner too. He is a great cook, but he didn’t have to the first week. I have been back to the dr. for a two-week check up and she said I looked great. She said that it looked like I was healing well. She did switch me from the patch to a pill. It seems to be working well so far. I thought I would have been more upset over having had the surgery but so far I feel great about it. I am still a little sore but not bad enough for pain killers. Man I was on some good painkillers there for a while. They gave me some very strange dreams. The dr. said I could drive and can take a bath not just a shower. The best part was she said I could cuddle Kimmie. Tony had to set her on my lap and move her off. She said as long as I don’t move it would be ok. It was a very long two weeks not holding her. I would play with her but holding her is just different.

I would have to say to all the LIW. It;s not as bad as you hear from others not on this site. I can say you should rest and than rest some more. Don't try to be wonder woman.
