home now
Home now and feeling so stressed and sad about the whole ordeal..... I'm hurting 24/7 and this is so much worse that. I ever expected....! I'm scared that I will get an infection or worse and can't stop worrying about it! I feel like a looser....

It will get better. I kow its hard to take right now and I thought the pain would NEVER end. Just make sure you are getting plenty of rest and not over doing yourself. Did you have staples? I wouldnt think so since your drive is pretty far. My Dr used derma bond glue so I wouldnt have to travel back. As long as you are keeping your incision dry after showers and not bothering it by wearing lose clothing you should do fine. Make sure you are taking your temp about every couple hours. That is the first sign of infection. Your take home care sheet will tell you how high your temp has to be before calling them. You will run a little higher temp for about a week or so just due to the major surgery you had. I am so sorry you had to go this route. Its no fun. Did they remove both of your ovarys? I couldnt remember if you said or not. Let me know if you have any questions. try to sleep elevated that way if you have to get up in the middle of the night it will help you better. Use ice packs on your belly 20 minutes on every hour. I know it helped me a little bit. stay relaxed and try not to stress. That will only make the pain worse. give me shout when you need me. Take care and Lots of little hugs..Staci
Awwwwwww thanks staci little hugs is the answer lol. They left my right ovary in and that\'s it. The surgeon said my uterus was large and lumpy and my left ovary had a large cyst on it.... I wondered why I had pain so much in my left side for years! Sometimes it felt like knitting needles were being jabed in down there and I would double over in so much pain!! I\'m scared they might feel something bad like cancer in the biopsy..... Dreading 2 know! I\'m feeling a little blue like I\'m an IT and not a woman now cause even tho my uterus didn\'t work worth a darn, at least I still had one!? How on earth can a person sleep comfortably sitting up? I\'m trying and my bum and back is killing me!! When I lie completely down I feel panick as I can\'t get up lol. I\'m so miserable staci...... :-(
i felt the same way....it is so sad and depressing, but your not alone, we all felt that way.... the part of the recovery is to get past those feelings. its hard, but each day things will get better. i was feeling so great and then last night i started bleeding! not bright red but enough to scare the crap out of me, and now i am feeling like you are now. i am so sad and nervous and anxious that i am gonna just start hemorraging, i am runnin to the bathroom every 5 minutes like i was before the surgery. so i know how you feel. the doc said today that everything looked good inside of me, but she thinks i had a blood clot form on my cervis cause of the cauterization and it must have disolved or something...who knows?? plus she said i have an infection too.....nothing major, she said it was very common, something to do with the stitches inside me, that under my incisions were little knots, like infection maybe?/ anyway so now i have an antibiotic. i haven\'t started it yet cause i have to get it filled, but i am sick to my stomach too, so i am so sorry you feel bad right now, but if its any conselation i am feeling absolutley horrible right there with ya girl! but i am gonna stay positive, i am totally determined to, and i know everything happens for a reason, so i am gonna try and get through this too!! i hope you feel better tonight and have a better day tomorrow:)
Awww thankyou and wish the same for you 2. Do you have facebook that we could talk better on? Poor you having an infection! That\'s so scary! Xxx.
