The Countdown is Here! July 30th

Wow! So close to the "big day" now. I plan to work a full day tomorrow, 7/29 and then I'm off for 4-6 weeks, per my surgeon. I had some difficulty getting my PCP referral through to my insurance company until Friday afternoon! Talk about stressed! My PCP's assistant and I finally got that straightened out by making ALOT of phone calls to my insurance company, but talk about down to the wire. TAH - 7/30/2013 via c-section cut.

Sounds like you are going in to this with a great attitude - which is great!!! I didn't have ins issues but I had an elevated white cell count and had to go to 2 additional docs before the surgeon would proceed... I had to start my bowel prep before I had heard if it would happen... less than 12 hours...

You are going to do great!!!

Re: The Countdown is Here! July 30th

Thank you all, you're very kind! Wow, I've never held the "Princess" title before, this will be a first for me. I'm not really nervous, I'm just kind of wondering what I'm going to feel like after the surgery, like how much is it going to hurt that very first night, how different will I feel and all those kinds of things. I do realize that if I feel pain it is only going to be temporary. Right now, my abdominal area is so puffed out and I'm so uncomfortable. Any time that I have to bend over it feels like I'm being cut in half or when I'm doing dishes and lean up against the kitchen sink, I can feel soreness from my fibroids. My Dr. said that my uterus is the size of someone 4 months along. I can't imagine not feeling this way anymore after having put up with it for so long now. I do hope that this discomfort goes away and that once I'm completely healed my clothes will feel alot more comfortable. I'm so sick of having to wear elastic waist or waistless.
