Interestingly enough- I'm not at all nervous about my upcoming surgery. I did make the mistake of searching You Tube for hysterectomy surgeries (I've seen other types of surgeries posted, so thought- why not?). Eeeek. I am not going to post the link here because there was weird music to it and it gave me a feeeeeeeeeeeeeling that it was some weird fetish video. Yech.
But it was a true vaginal hysterectomy. I don't imagine I'll be wanting to sit down for a while after having that done.
Those that have had the vaginal, how long before you were able to sit comfortably? Seriously- that video made me CRINGE!
On another note, I am feeling like I'm going to start my period any minute now. I'm not really on a schedule (two weeks, three weeks, five weeks, whenever my hormones want to kick in, etc.), but the signs are all there. This means that I'll be on my period for my pre-op on Tuesday. The doc said he'd do a gyn exam to make sure everything was OK. Yech, maybe I can get him to change his mind.
And since I'm rambling....
I've noticed something new in the past couple of months. I'm wondering if this is worth bringing up to my gyn on Tuesday. I've started having lots of pain in my lower left abdomen- typically it happens after I've been walking a lot. It's not constant- just a couple of times a week or so, but it's really painful.
My husband says it sounds like his hernia symptoms, but I can't imagine how that would have happened. I'm not overweight and don't lift heavy things.
Do you think I should ask the gyn take a look around while he's 'in there' to see what that might be?
One week away
