anybody out there

It's just past midnight here.
Because of bladder repair I am still in hospital with catheter.
(4 - no 5 days post op)
Can't sleep. Neighbour is snoring like hell.
At least I have notebook + internet access + hystersisters.

Anybody talk to me? Cheer me up?

thx

Where are you located? I'm in Maryland,USA. Hope you are doing OK and get to go home soon.

Hi Ioc, I am here! How did your hyster go (other than still having the catheter?) I am now 3 weeks post op and it seems I have a bladder infection so take advantage of your rest and being in the right place!! You don't want to get an infection like me!

You are in Germany? I am in Australia!

Hi, it gets better. Can the nurses get you earplugs so you can sleEp? I hope you're not in pain. When I couldn't sleep I watched TV (no roommate) but the volume didn't work. So I had repair guys at 11 PM, 1 AM, and 2 at 6 AM on fixing it. I was amazed but I got to listen to it plus be entertained by repair guys. I went home the next day. Can you eat? Maybe they could bring you a snack or drink. Its afternoon here. HS can maybe help you sleep or at least feel better.

Thank you, dear sisters from Maryland and Australia.
I am here in midnight Germany.
My hysterectomy went great. Pre-op was a nasty shock, because I thought it would be laprascopic - but gyn and urologist (nice competent women) decided it would be better, more "durable" to do it abdominal.
I recovered very quickly - no surprise, lying lazy in hospital all day long, reading, sleeping, a little bit of walking, today was first day without painkillers.

OMG, bladder infection 3 weeks post OP sounds bad. Hope you get well soon. Best wishes!

Hi:

I am in Washington state, so it is 4PM here. But my daughter is living in Germany this summer!

I slept so long after the surgery that I ended up waking at midnight and was awake most of the night, but had to be somewhat quite due to my husband sleeping on a cot. I turned on the TV with the closed captioning words!

It should get a bit better each day, but that is more noticeable week by week.

Hope your recovery goes smoothly.

Regards

Wow if you are already without pain killers you are doing really well.

Ear plugs are a good option! Maybe ask a nurse if they can bring some to you

loc,

Just wanted to say "HI" since you are awake. Glad to hear you are doing pretty well but sorry it went from a lap surgery to abdominal. At least you have your sisters here to keep you company. I hope you have a very fast recovery and get some sleep soon! Hugs!
