Happy to be Home!!
Good Morning Ladies, I had a TAH (Kept Ovaries) on 10/31. I came home from the castle around noon yesterday (Thur -11/02). I couldn't get outta there fast enough. Don't get me wrong, they took very good care of me - I just needed to be home. Everything was very uneventful - thank goodness. I echo again what the other wonderful ladies are saying - the waiting really is the worst. I was in surgery approx 1 1/2 hrs, recovery for 2 hrs and then in my room. I slept ALOT the day of my surgery because of all the meds but the pain was very manageable for me. I wasn't able to pass the dreaded gas until yesterday when I got home, it's amazing how excited we get about that!! Still waiting to have a BM (yikes). I slept pretty good last night in my own home- not necessarily in my own bed cuz I alternated between bed and couch. I feel pretty good today - just a little sore (I told my family I feel like the Michelin Tire Man cuz I'm so bloated - but this too shall pass)I had a horiz. bikini line incision approx 4 inch - it looks beautiful, really (I think they used Super Glue). Rest Easy, dear ladies in waiting - you will do fine. I will be thinking about you and praying for wonderful outcomes for all of you.
Love & Hugs, Lynne
