LAVH - six days post-op and doing things I'm not supposed to
Wow! Reading these posts have been an eye opener and very informative. My procedure was the LAVH on February 21st. Other than the anestheia wearing off I have felt really good. Much better than I ever expected. I was so scared that I almost called it off all the way up to the time I was being wheeled into surgery. I am 47 years young and must be very fortunate...generally I do not have high tolerance for pain. I have had little to no pain and have felt better than I can remember in like 15 years. I have been driving, grocery shopping, laundry, sweeping, mopping, cooking, lifting and almost everything I am NOT supposed to do. I am so glad that I spent some time today joining and navigating through this site. It has only been 5 days for me and I am going to slow down and relax before I am sorry. Hopefully, I have not caused any damage or prolonged my healing in any way. Has anyone elses experience been similar? I would love to hear and be assured that I'll be O.K.

LAVH - six days post-op and doing things I'm not supposed to
Hi Beaches4me and
We’re happy you joined the Hystersisters community! There is a ton of solid information on the site, and the members have unlimited cyber-hugs to dispense and experiences to share with you during this recovery stage on your road to good health!
In addition to following your doctor’s orders “to the letter” concerning resuming your physical activity, it’s important to “listen to your body” and obey the signals it is sending you. If you feel achy and sore, go to bed and rest. All types of hysterectomies are major surgeries. Be smart and invest some time and patience in your recovery. Your good sense in this regard will likely serve you well in the weeks, months, and years to come.
Do check with your medical provider if you are concerned that you have overdone yourself during this delicate, early-recovery stage. In the meantime, I'm sending positive thoughts your way. And, be sure to remember to
Many s and Best Wishes,

Wow Beaches - I thought that I was having an easy recovery! You seem to be doing very well! I went back to work after 2 weeks, but am still really taking it easy with regards to activity. Probably best to hold off on the heavy lifting, etc.
Hope things continue to go well for you!!!!
