Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | Just wanted to post one last time about his topic. And I want to say a very sincere thank you to each and every board member that has reached out to me both on my threads on here, via private message, facebook, and even text.
Every one of you is appreciated, even if I didn't come right out and say it. Hysterectomy is done and over with. Been up in a room for a couple of hours. Nurses are kind of a pain because they arent tracking treatment meds. Surgeon wants me on robaxin because of my back, but since its not the standard, they are fighting me a little bit. Its ok. I can manage until I get home where I left my prescription.
Hubby was able to be there when I got up to my room. I was crying in the recovery room and had the poor nurses worried. It hit may so very hard when I woke up that all I wanted was to see his face and hear his voice, and when he wasnt there when I woke up, it just got to me. I wasnt expecting him to be waiting for me upstairs though and gosh what a releif to see him when I got wheeled in. The recovery room nurses did let me know he was here and I am pretty sure I kept asking them over and over again.
I did get some zofran and ate more then I thought I would, and so far everything is staying down. Pain is bearable.
So...is it ok that I ask for a few prayers that this does the trick and I can move on with my life? This was a complete hysterectomy. Unfortunately the adhesions on my colon are pretty bad. They worked on those but said that was it, no more surgeries for the adhesions because it would make them even worse. So a few prayers that we can keep them under control would be appreciated. |

I agree with the rolling out of bed but with your bad back I would think you are already doing that.

| It will get better once you get home. My doc told me next am that he had never seen anyone with the amount of endometriosis that i had, not to,mention fibroid tumors and the endometiral cyst. He said he almost had to cut me open to do everything. Once i got home and the hormones leveled out. I felt really good. I forgot how long i did not ride. But i did like you did it on the off season, just like i did my back and neck surgery. |

Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | Finally raised enough holy heck and made them take the catheter out around 2am. So I was finally able to get up and move a little and get some sleep. Surgeon just came in and confirmed that the endometriosis had not grown back being on the Lupron which is great news. That means there is a Really good chance it never will with having the hysterectomy. Unfortunately the colon is going to be an issue. We are going to give it six months to see if the adhesion will settle down. Hopefully it will. |

Location: Alabama | Hope you have a smooth recovery. The hystersisters website is very good for answering any questions. They create a thread for each week. I followed the thread of ladies that had surgery the same week I did & it was a huge relief (and disappointment) that the things I was going through were normal. The weekly threads are difficult to find, so if you can't find it, post asking where your week is. I actually went back to the site this week to see what is normal for 4 months post op. |

I also had endo and is why I had a hysterectomy many years ago. I do have adhesions but they haven't caused any real problems.
Glad to see you are on your way home. Don't even think of lifting anything and don't over due it but getting up and walking is good.
Continued prayers. |

Location: Florida.. | Glad it all went well. Adhesions are the devil. I had 5 major stomach -intestinal surgeries and cut from top to bottom and have them bad Internally and its a struggle at times to keep them under control. riding with our core doesnt help. try to limit heavy lifting. they bleed or swell and will strangle intestines and stick to organs.. like aliens.just dont overdo for awhile.. dont push yourself.. that is what will help to not get more flamed up.. |

Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | The last two days were rough. Not really super painful, just hard to get comfortable and even harder staying asleep. Today was a good day though. Spent a good part of the day away from home (hubby driving, ran some errands and just went really slow). I soooo miss my horses right now. I walked out there breifly yesterday but didn't stay long. I am hoping to be back to at least feeding them by monday. Hubby will still have to deal with stalls, tending feet, and lifting hay for 4-6 weeks.
I can already tell this was a move in the right directions. All I am dealing with now is just side affects of meds and anesthesia. Thank you everyong for the prayers and support. |

Surgery is over.....what a relief
