Surgery went well--Finally home!

Hey ladies. Surgery went well. No problems with adhesions or scar tissue. There was a lot but they were able to get them all. Total hysterectomy. Not feeling any menopause signs yet. Had an epidural so I'm pretty comfortable. Has not been sleeping good but I thinks its due to the hospital bed. One thing I have had is really bad nausea. Every time I go from a laying down position to a sitting position I bet sick to my stomach.

Hugs
Dana

Dana,

Welcome to the other side! Tell your doc about the nausea. They may be able to give you something to help..

(((hugs)))

Still in the hospital. Surgery pain is bearable but my bowels have not woken up yet. At first everything was going great. I started to stay nausead so I ended up with another NG tube and a PCA. That was last Wednesday and nothing has changed. Had suppository after supposittory and sill botching. Two excuses look hood and they can see gas but I can't pass it. Horrible pain earlier today. Incision looks fabulous and is healing well. Been post op now 10days. So ready to go home.

I am so sorry you are dealing with this. I know how miserable you feel. My bowels didn't wake up right away either , but were finally awake after 3 days. I also had suppositories, drugs, and other things to try to kick start them. They finally gave me some combo thing the orthopedic floor nurses swore by, but I can't remember what it was. Something with bran, prune juice, and something else.

Hope they can get your bowels going again. . I really feel for you.

(((Hugs)))

I am soo sorry mzdjoy that you are still in the hospital and having trouble with your bowels. Hopefully you will start to feel better soon and they will wake up. I am glad your incision is healing good. It sounds like the bowels not waking up happens alot. Hang in there!! Lots of hugs to you )

Finally home. Got home on Monday. Bowels are still a little sluggish but glad I'm home.

I, too, had a long hospital stay so I know how wonderful it can be to get home to your own bed and away from the chaos of the hospital!

As a new , be sure to get plenty of , don't forget to lots of water, and as you are able!
