tiggerlady Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Well girls, following on from the thread on tranexamic acid , I got in this lunchtime to find a hospital letter giving me an op date for hysterectomy of....9th April!! Thats 6 weeks away! On reflection,that doesnt give me much of a chance to try the tablets..or did she know that they probs wouldnt work anyway so put me in for 'as soon as possible' I am going on my gut feeling of excitement about it as I really thought my stomach would lurch..so I shall be taking them up on their kind offer as on balance (and taking into account your very kind and informed words) I think its the best option in the long term..and I might not get it offered again if I turn it down.. So now its all hands to pumps,gonna do lots of work to stash cash in the bank and buying loads of cat and dog food to keep in the garage..freezers stacked for us humans anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 You'll be fine - keep positive about it. I must say that the nurses in our gynae unit were brilliant and gave me a side room! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Ooh, that was quick, like you say not enough time to try the tablets but it will put an end to your problems. Good luck with everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Our local hospital gave me a date 3 months ahead but I asked to go on the 'late notice list' and ended up having it about 3 weeks later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecky Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hi, couldn't comment on the tranexamic acid, but on the hysterectomy I can. I had it done when I was 31 due to severe endometriosis and it was the best thing that ever happened to me . I know there can be problems with bladder etc., however, I have absolutely none. So, good luck to you. Take it easy for a while, but enjoy dog walking, that restored me to full health. Cyber hugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillfamily Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Glad to hear you are feeling positive about having the op - wishing you all the best :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitchens Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 That means in 12 weeks time you will be fighting fit again (and i don't mean that lightly as it's likely I will need the same op at sometime in the future). I understand its a big step, but whatever your reasons for needing to have it done - means the problems will be resolved. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackrocksrock Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Good for you to have a date through already and I am sure it will make all the difference to you - just make sure you have a stock up of all the pampering things you like and have 6 weeks pampering of YOU for a wee change and enjoy the rest from housework for a while.
