Charlottechicken Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Ooh, don't worry, you will be fine As has been said, hospital is scary, but you will soon be home. Listen to your own body and heal at your own speed, you will soon be good as new It's almost three years since my op and I haven't regretted it, I'm a new woman!

Cooks Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 Thanks all. Xxx I am going to occupy my morning tomorrow cooking meals and that will distract me until time to leave. I went off today and had my hair cut on the spur of the moment as a distraction too. Nice and blow dried now so should last while I am in there. Have to pack as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Good luck for tomorrow - you'll soon be back here telling us how you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Good luck for tomorrow - Lots of us will be thinking about you and sending positive thoughts Whilst I know it doesn't feel like it today it is great to finally be at the operation stage, everything after that is getting better. And remember you *must* take things easy afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soapdragon Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Sending good wishes- is it too late to pack ear plugs ?

The Dogmother Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Phew, she'll be a bit out of it for the next day. Phil refers to it as 'The Department of Lower Woman'; according to him, I am now a 'sports model' it's a whole different species.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 It may be few words but lovely to get a positive update Whilst there's lots of us very positive about the benefits of 'the op' it is still major surgery so still a relief to hear it's gone well Tell him to keep us updated!

Seagazer Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 That is good news, lots of positive thoughts going Cooks way A friend's husband won't discuss anything to do with 'women's stuff' - its so funny, you can actually see him squirm.

Chook n Boo Mum Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Got a message from Cooks a while back..."hello all, am ok in a lot of pain but they are looking after me xx" Not much sleep from what I gather, but hopefully she'll be able to today She says thanks for all the good wishes & she'll be back when she's more with it xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Poor love, I'm thinking of her - that first day post-op is the hardest tell her, the best day is when you can get up and have a shower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplemaniacs Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Sorry not been on for a while so missed your earlier posts. I am glad that you have had your op and starting on the road to recovery. Gentle hugs from East Northants. DS's girlfriends mum had her op just over a week ago and is well on the mend now, she is finding it hard to take things easy, she cooked dinner for DS and GF last night they were going round to cook her dinner but she had already done it, they told her off Best wishes Cooks hope you are home soon.

Looking forward to hearing from you when you are a bit more compost mentis (as OH calls it!) That anaesthetic really knock you sideways for a while!

Charlottechicken Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Lovely to hear you are OK, Cooks! As has already been said, there are a lot of us who extol the virtues of hysterectomy, but it is still a major operation. I hope you are home soon and can begin to heal in the comfort of familiar surroundings, it makes all the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 I am home, sore and walking very delicately but I am home x I have to say it has been the worst few days ever but hopefully I will go strength to strength from here.. Once again thank you for your lovely messages. X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahJo Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 No place like home - pillow between the knees if you manage to sleep on your side & pain relief religiously, not when you need it Lactulose in some fruit juice if required and plenty of very small walks - hold in pelvic floor if possible, clench those cheeks when going upstairs (later on!!!!!!) - all helps with "core" and protects back Take care Cooks x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
