Home from the castle
Hi everyone
I'm home and feeling really good. I went to the hospital Friday am at 8:00 and was discharged yesterday at noon. 28 hours from start to finish. It actually seemed alot faster than that!
My surgeon said my uterus was a "mess". My ovaries stayed.
The worst parts for me were the catheter (not painful--just uncomfortable)and the vaginal packing (again, not painful just added alot of pressure). They removed both of those 16 hours after sugery and I felt like a brand new person.
Right now I'm just tired and a little sore everywhere. Once again NOT pain just soreness.
I hope this eases the minds of some of LIW's. For me everything was easier than I had expected and over all less painful.
Back to the couch for now. Thanks for all of the thoughts and prayers---they sure helped!

Gosh, Pamela, you sound so good~! Thank you for this. I’m having a really bad time right now, so all of the positive things I can read are really helping me…!
Can I ask you a question though? (I’m just learning all of the terms here.) What is a DUB? I keep seeing those initials, but can't figure out what they stand for…(oh, my poor little brain! )
Thank you again, Pamela…
Janet~!
