Post Op appointment
Today was my Post Op appointment. And what can I say, I am so confused and down it is unbelievable. I am starting to regret ever having this hysterectomy. I know it sounds stupid and I will be better off in the long run but after today I'm not so sure.
I got to the hospital had to have an internal scan to see if I still had a collection of blood in my abdomen. And after 7 weeks it is still there, yes I was told it is shrinking its now 6cm x 1cm instead of 6x6cm. which is good but what I wasn't expecting was to be told it was on both sides now instead of just the left. So was in a bit of shock and I told the doctor about the smelly discharge I have been having and he took some swabs incase of infection. What I also wasn't expecting to happen was me breaking down in the doctors office I just don't know why. I explained to him that I haven't been sleeping and have no energy and my appetite is not too good. He didn't seem to bothered about this. We discussed HRT and I have been put on Estraderm Patches, Does anyone else use this and does it help?? .
The reason I am beginning to think I made a mistake is because when I asked about the pathology reports he said everything is fine and there was no endo nothing, I just feel I have put myself through this for nothing and now I am having a hard time believing this blood will disappear on its own when it wasn't so long ago I ended up having an emergency op because of a collection of blood. I know I am worrying over probably nothing but still this has got me terrified.
Anyway to cut a long story short I haven't been released from the hospital and have to go back in 6 weeks for another scan. Will this ever end I am so tired, I know I have alot to be greatful for but I have been through alot in my life many operations because I have a disability too and just wonder if i'm strong enough to get through it this time. Thanks for listening again. Jen

Re: Post Op appointment
Sorry you have been through so much. Unfortunately, ;-), you're strong enough to withstand this. ;-) Keep holding on and cling to those who support you. Keep venting here if needed.
Take care,

Re: Post Op appointment
Jen,
I hope you are feeling better. I have had two hospitalizations since my DVH in Sept. and know how frustrating and scary it can be. I think it is natural to be emotional about all of this. I also had thought I could handle this without any medical help and found out that I couldn't. I think we all try to be so strong and sometimes we just need some help. Talk to your doctor. I know I was surprised when my doctor was able to help me. I hope you have a good holiday. Sending you all my prayers and best wishes for a smoother recovery than you have been having.
