Hysterectomy Stories
Ask A Doctor
I had LSH on 12/7 due to years of on-again, off-again periods that would last for months. I'm 38 and my doctor and I had treid other options over the years but nothing seemed to work for more than two years. Finally my doctor suggected a hysterectomy and I was thrilled to finally be done with all of this mess! After scheduling the surgery I became a bervous wreck. All those fears float through your head, some ratinal and maybe some were not, and I became obsessed. It was all I could think about and I cried in during my pre-op because I was so afraid of the IV and the post-op pain. Because of that, my doctor wrote a really nice letter to put in my chart and the hospital staff treated me with such gentle care. The anesthesiologist gave me Lydocain before inserting the IV into my forearm (at my request) and then offered me something I think is called Intrathecial. It's like an epidural in that it's a spinal, but you only have the needle for 30 seconds and the relief lasts for 18 hours when combined with other pain meds. They sedated me for the Intrathecial and I barely felt it. The next thing I knew they were waking me up and it was all over. I was really hot so they had to turn the temp way down in my room and they had these annoying blood pressure cuffs on my legs to keep the circulation going, but that really was the worst of it. When they first tried to get me up later that night I threw up, but it was only liquid so it wasn't so bad. They had promised me a morphine pump but with the Intrathecial I never needed one! They just kept putting pain meds in my IV when I needed it and that worked great. About 14 hours after surgery I was up and walking the halls and feeling much better. I got to go home the next day and I'm dong really well. It's been three days and I'm still on Vicodin, but over all I feel really good. I'm so glad I had this done! This site has been a Godsend for me during the waiting period before the surgery when I was so nervous. It was really helpful to talk to others with the same fears and some who have already been through it.
