Re: TAH scheduled for Jan 18--I am nervous
Hi all,
My surgery (TAH) is scheduled for Friday, 1/22. I am quite nervous as well. Dr is removing the left ovary but I hope I can keep my right ovary. Hope all goes well. I really dread the knocked out feeling from the drugs. I think I'll ask them if there are any options besides the strong narcotics. Those drugs make you feel worse sometimes. Hope everyone's surgery goes very well! Take Care.

Re: TAH scheduled for Jan 18--I am nervous
Best wishes to you. Try to do everything you can today to just relax your mind and your body. Take nice warm bath or shower this evening, and get some good rest tonight. I hope also for you (through prayer) that all goes well and you have no complications.
Hugs and here's a virtual flower for you

Re: TAH scheduled for Jan 18--I am nervous
Hi Angel Bee
Good luck to you tomorrow with your surgery. I had mine last Tuesday (1/12) and on Monday I was a crazy woman. If I could get as much work done on a normal basis as I did that day - that'd be GREAT. I had so much nervous energy. But I wish I would have taken it a little easier that day. Still I made a point to try to relax when I got home- took a wonderfully hot shower (not recommending - that's just what I like) and shaved my legs deep conditioned my hair... I took so much time that evening in the bathroom - felt like a total Diva. But I got from this website that pampering the princess was the thing to do. And looking back, they were right. You're going to do just fine. I hope you're able to kick back and relax tonight. Best wishes and prayers for your procedure and for your surgical team and pre-op and post-op care while your at the castle.

Re: TAH scheduled for Jan 18--I am nervous
Hi 86gmc
Thanks so much for the wishes. I plan on bringing chapstick and a pillow. It seems like I have similiar problems to You: fibroids and cysts on ovaries. The doctor told me my only option is a TAH because of all my surgeries.
I am feeling a lot calmer now and I do intend to walk a lot.

Re: TAH scheduled for Jan 18--I am nervous
Thanks to all of you for your support prior to my surgery. I am almost a week post and doing suprisingly well. I have experienced some strange sensations in the incision area but after enduring cramping and heavy bleeding for so long; I can handle this. I have a week to go before I get the staples out.
Good luck to all of the sisters coming up this week...and know it will be better on the other side.
