Thinking of you and hope all goes well today. XAt the hospital waiting, being diabetic and allergic to onions is causing a lot of loud talking in Maltese around the reception desk. They have decided the only thing I can eat will be dry chicken breast and some vegetables. Which is fine by me if a little bland...but two or three days expected here so I can survive.
MorningI had this operation forty-plus years ago, and recovery was easy as long as I didn't overdo physical stuff. I don't know what your particular diet is, but the operation shouldn't require any changes. As for dogs and cats wanting to get on your lap, put a big cushion or a pillow on your lap as soon as you sit down so they can't access it, and if they grizzle, tough, they can get back on your lap when you have healed. Make sure they have comfortable places to lie on as an alternative, and unless they tend to dispute over food, when you go to sit down, toss a tasty tiny treat on one of the beds allocated for them.
Your bedroom arrangements sound ideal - just remember to keep the door closed whether you are in there or not, so animals can't sneak in.
You will feel SO MUCH better once you have had this, and recovery goes at whatever speed it goes. I was back on a horse after four weeks, which with hindsight was risky and stupid, but luckily for me there were no ill effects. Be more sensible than I was and allow plenty of time for your recovery. Don't buy any new clothes (but you can research some) until the swelling round your tum has gone down.
You can always ask your visitors to being in bits and bobs for you, if it's really dire.At the hospital waiting, being diabetic and allergic to onions is causing a lot of loud talking in Maltese around the reception desk.

The waiting is the worse.I'm still waiting, they've had two caesarean sections this morning that have delayed the operation today.
I'm a weird mix of anxious and bored now but dad has come in for visiting hiurs to keep me company.
Glad you're out of surgery and you can now breave a sigh of relief. Just take it easy and you'll be home in no time to recover. XI'm out of surgery and they gave me a spinal rather than general anaesthetic and sedated me.
I already started to be able to move my legs and feel some tingling before they even transferred me from the operating table to my bed... which seemed like it might be unusual. I can already feel where the incision was and mentioned that i could feel that it was gone as my belly is definitely different. At first they said that I wouldn't be able to but then said, well maybe, because it was very large and we could feel the uterus was extended beyond normal. So maybe some of my looking pregnant style of belly was actually my fibroids.
The surgery itself they said went well but before I went under they had to give me a second IV site in my right hand as the one in my left arm wasn't working and they also tried to give me antibiotics and they sprayed everywhere, even hitting me on my face.
My legs are twitching a bit now which is a weird feeling but other than feeling cold I'm ok. Hoping that it keeps this way but expect since they gave me a button to press for morphine that I'm really going to be feeling it soon.
Pleased to hear its all done.Get plenty of rest.They will soon have you up and about.Have you had a total hysterectomy?I'm out of surgery and they gave me a spinal rather than general anaesthetic and sedated me.

Yes, one ovary still had the 10cm cyst, rhe other had smaller cysts from the PCOS and a small cyst on the fallopian tube, plus a large number of fibroids including several that were very big...and they had to take the cervix because it was attched to the uterine wall in such a way they couldn't leave it in.Pleased to hear its all done.Get plenty of rest.They will soon have you up and about.Have you had a total hysterectomy?
I had the same as you.All out! It might seem tough now but it will improve.Time and patience.Easier said than done I know.Take care and press the button when you need it!

So everything has been yeeted but they didn't need a blood transfusion as everything went very well apparently.
Currently it feels like really bad period pain, like I can feel it and I can tell it is hurting inside where I can't touch it. Also a bit like I have a lot of trapped wind.
I've hit the morphine button once so far...might hit it again soon. The nurse said don't wait for it to be very painful just use it so you stay comfortable.

Ear plugs. Ask for earplugs.Spoke to soon, pressed for morphine and beeping happened again ... Really frustrating
