All done

My hysterectomy is done and I came home yesterday. Sort of. I really came to my mom's home after realizing that I was too tired and shaky to do more than very tiny tasks (get some water, move from one room to another). Being where I have help lets me have a little energy left over for things like a shower or tiny walk. At my house a shower wouldn't even have been an option because I can't step into a bathtub; my mom has a walk in shower. I'm making myself think I'll be here a week and if I make it home sooner that's great. I'm really feeling ok. My belly hurts and it is HUGE. With "light control" panties in the largest size I could find (5 more than mine?)we laughed so hard because I have an 8 months pregnant tummy that the support garment makes all smooth and natural looking. I can't be very active at all without pain and/or dizziness but there are worse things and it's good to be reminded to slow down before I hurt too much. I have 4 incisions, 2 of which are just as sore as the dr. told me they would be. That apparently is where the uterus is removed. The did discover that my right fallopian tube had narrowed significantly and possibly caused the pain I had there. We hope so since that tube and it's mate are gone. I'll write more later. I just overdid and am not feeling very good at this precise moment. Copyright 2006 www.masterofirony.blogspot.com
