Just need some support

I am four days post op and am living proof the surgery is survivable! LOL! Don't worry. I had DaVinci TH and have some minor pain but certainly nothing unmanageable. The hardest thing now is to lay low and not overdo. Regardless, do your homework on your surgeon/gynegologist and hospital. One of the things I loved about my physician is that her nurse is available to you for phone calls before and after surgery. When my surgery was scheduled I was given a business card with a phone number for the nurse. I did have several questions and found that when I left a message I was called back with a reply the same day. She also handled the FML paperwork. It felt great having that "inside" number that was just for surgery patients.

I am meeting with a friend for lunch today that had the same procedure done that I am having at a younger age and she had my same Dr. So that is at least positive!

well when I was carried away from work by the ambulance a co-worker "friend" called me and asked me what was going on...followed by a "if its not cancer get it sucked out and come on back to work" needless to say I havent talked to her since..and she has the nerve to wonder why. what happened to if you dont have something nice to say DONT say nothing at all..ignorance i swear. We will be fine honey and c-ya on the other side as a great
