Hysterectomy: July 22nd, 2008

New here!
Just to clarify here......I had very little pain but I still followed my Dr. orders and did not pick anything up, did not do any floors, walk the dogs etc. for FEAR of undoing something that was done!!! I also took my motrin on schedule to ward off pain and to help with any possible swelling and inflamation. I am not a young hyster sister.... I will be the speed limit in Dec. (55 that is LOL) so I tried real hard to make this the only surgery I would have.....Also I am a retired school teacher so I was VERY lucky not to have to think about returning to a job outside the home.... I am an on call MawMaw which means I am on call to my family to help with 3 beautiful grand daughters... but I even went off call for 7 weeks..... All just to say.... just because some of us are lucky with minimal pain we still need to pamper ourselves and heal.... we still have all those internal stictches even though they are not as painful as some of our other sisters' are. Also the key word here is LUCKY.... the lack of major pain does not make us any better or mean that someone who has pain is weak .....I will pray hard for those who are in pain for quick recoveries and for thanks for those of us who were lucky!!!!!!
