K Now iam going to vent..rant

Iam so sick and tired of being bed bound house bound or generally BOUND..I am tired of smelly discharge and having to use pads

I am tired of my house being a total pigsty and not being able to do anything about it

I am tired of being tired..and sore

I am tired of eating..then having a BM right after and being hungry again UGH

I am tired of dumb doctors who have no clue what they are talking about and who get mad at me when I disagree

I am tired of not being able to sit comfortably or drive or take extensive walks with my dog

I am tired of being bloated and this dang double bloated chin..

Tomorrow iam 3 weeks post op and i am tired of being "post op" lol

UGH UGH UGH UGH *scream scream*

I remember those weeks, I feel for you! It does take a while to heal- and a TON of patience (something I wasn't so good at)... I'm not sure what type of hysto. you had, but even the laparascopic type aren't a breeze... creature comforts really helped me (aside from family and prayer)... fav movie, magazine, open breezy windows, tasty snack, pain meds!
I'll be praying for you, message me if you want- I totally understand the need to vent! hugs!!!

lol...creature comforts are pain meds! That they are! I just wish I had a never ending supply!

I am 12 days post op today. It is hard to be home bound. I agree. I went on my first outing yesterday to Costco. Woohoo!!! I was exhausted last night. How funny? I am the hyper one, what happened. But our bodies are going through so much. It is a shock to take out organs. I know what you are going through. I hired my granddaughter to do some chores in the house. There are things in the house that make me crazy that I can not do. I just tell myself...a few more weeks. It is what it is!!! Please try not to stress. I read a lot, takes the mind off! Take Care.

Dear Mysts37,

You didn't state your procedure, but I certainly do empathize with you!!
I thought I was the only one that would eat and then have a BM right after. I also have not driven yet, but I have to say I'm more chicken than anything. I don't want to go backwards in my recovery and I tell myself that ALL the time to get through these road blocks to normalcy. I am also house bound, but I make sure that I don't stay bed bound.
For me, it seems better to move around some, otherwise I get all kinked up and achy. Do you live alone? It doesn't sound like you have someone there to help you with the house stuff. Wishing you better days.

I am 10 days post op and feel pretty good... But so afraid to do anything because I don't want any set backs!! So I am house bound by choice I don't want it to end up being by force... I have been reading and surfing the web and watching lots on netflix... Even played some video games yesterday which I never do... Lol I home school my boys and I'm contemplating starting back up with school work tomorrow... : / Little worried it would be to much in under 2 weeks from LAVH/BSO... But I feel your pain of being house bound, bed bound.. Hang in there, this too shall end. ((((hugs))))

2 days ago i could totally relate to this...i felt like i was going crazy,...and that i was being imprisoned !!!

the last 2 days have been much better, but probably because i went on a drive to the lake with my husband and daughter and doggie. it was wonderful to see something besides the walls of my house.

i still haven't driven (besides passenger seat) yet either...and won't for awhile (don't want to pull anything).

hang in there....it will get better. i have found that i love a long warm shower lately, then i put on lotion/oils...and pretend i am on vacation somewhere and relaxing because i want to

"this too shall pass" !!!!
