Farmwife,

You are definitely normal and as you will learn, a lot of your HysterSisters can relate to and/or understand what you are going through. I felt like I had been hit by truck after I had my TAH/BSO and that was without the need for blood. For what it's worth, my doctor lectured me about how important it was to take my pain medication and keep my pain under control so that my body used the energy to heal than fight the pain, told me that the pain medication would give me constipation, told me to take Colace and eat a very good diet to help fight the constipation. Hopefully, you and your doctor can come up with a personal plan for you to be as painfree as possible.

Take good care of yourself, you deserve it!

I agree!!! You're normal!! I wanted to add that colace (stool softeners) do not need a prescription- they are over the counter and my doc. told me to take 2 (100mg) per day. just don't take anything that says "laxative" on it. My doctor was very firm about this. He said there is also something called "glycerine suppositories" . poor hubby came home with "glycerine laxative", so called the doctor's office and they said, "wrong one- get the ones without laxative!". Back to Walgreens went hubby! I never had to use them, but felt better knowing I had 'em if I needed it. There's lots written here about dealing with constipation- good advice- drinking lots of water, prunes, fiber tabs (I eat activia every day). You can manage this!! Good luck!!
