I had my surgery this morning. We had planned a total hysterectomy but once inside,my OB discovered a ton of scar tissue at my cervix from other surgeries and made the decision to leave the cervix to prevent other issues. I was in the hospital from 5:30 am until about 3:30 pm. I'm sore of course and somehow hurt my right shoulder (?!) but my hubby is being amazing and boy does that help. Pampering is essential after something like this.

My thoughts are with all of my fellow sisters who had surgery today or are heading in this week.

Had surgery on the 30 home same day with a lot of pain mostly back pain. Doing much better today still have back pain though. Getting weak easily. And I am having to pee a lot is that normal? They had planned to do partial davinci hysterectomy but did full laproscopic.

Surgery went well. Just did a morning lap around the nurses station and had some breakfast. In a bit time for some drugs and a shower. But I think a nap first. I'm so tired.

DaVinci TLH yesterday. Surgery went well, only 4 small incisions and no pain! Home from the hospital this morning. A bit sore, like doing too many situps, and a bit of gas pain, but otherwise doing great! If I had known it would be this easy, I would have done it along time ago.

Had my sugery yesterday at 10:30 am. Just got home today 2:30. Abdominal hysterectomy got to keep right ovry. Doing well now that nausea is gone. My hubby to has been amazing
Hope everyone gets good rest!!!
