A bit nervous myself..
Hi..I am scheduled for a TAH and possible BSO on Monday. I have been a mess with worry for a week now.
My problems all started when I was in my 20s but could find no doctor to help me..So I have suffered for many years..I am now 42.
I had gone to the ER a month ago because of the non stop bleeding (again) and was sent home and given a doctor to see.
He than told me that yes..we have to do the surgery ASAP.
Well ASAP turned into a month..I ended up in the ER a week ago Thursday very ill. It took them 2 hours to stabilize me.
Come to find out..The fibroids I have were as the new doctor said "Dying inside me" Which cause a real bad infection of my uterus.
I was hospitalized for 5 days and given 3 pain meds..and 2 types of strong antibiotics. She let me come home on the 5th day with pain meds and two other antibiotics.
I forgot to add..My surgery was scheduled before I left for this Monday.
She is my life savor..
I had so many questions and so thankful I found this site.
I am still very nervous though..I havent eaten anything but crackers and try to get some soup down.
This is the first night that I am up this late..
I do my bawl prep later today with more antibiotics and was told I could be pretty sick most of the day..I am not looking forward to this..
My surgery is scheduled for 2pm Monday.
My children and grandchild live back east and I have been calling them everyday..(we moved out here back in June due to my husbands job) I am just so scared that I may never see them again and thought I was alone on these feelings..But after reading..I see that I am not alone.
You women are wonderful here..I pray I can be as strong as many of you are..
Everyone keeps telling me how much better I will feel when this is all over..and pain free..Is there such thing I keep wondering??
So as I sit here tonight..I will keep reading and trying to take in all the comforting words you have spoken to others..
Sorry for the rambling..Im kind of at a loss for words..
My dh has been so good to me this past week. With working 12 hours days 6 days a week..I sometimes wonder why and how he can even still live with me..
Thanks again for such a warm and wonderful site.
