My hysterectomy surgery on April 3 was a success, and I am so blessed to have had wonderful doctors, a wonderful nursing staff, wonderful family, my wonderful husband and daughter, and of course, all of the wonderful prayers sent by you all. In short, it was, well, as wonderful as surgery can be!
My doctor was able to keep my remaining ovary, which means I won't be going into menopause, and that is a blessing, indeed! We still need to wait for pathology to come back on the uterus and cervix, but I pray it is all cancer-free and nothing further is needed.
I came home from the hospital on Wednesday afternoon and have been taking it nice and easy ever since. Yes, I'm in some pain, but it's not terrible, and is definitely manageable with pain medication. My two cats have been keeping me company and I've been doing my best to follow the doctor's orders: namely, to rest, rest, rest.
Thanks to my brother, I now have wireless internet and can stay in bed and surf the 'Net. Previously, we only had the 'Net downstairs and there's no way I'm up to navigating stairs at this point.
So! I cannot wait to get to your blogs and read what you've been up to! It's been far too long since I've thought about much else besides this surgery and everythin that went along with it, so my brain is rather enjoying its ability to read and watch movies and sleep and yes, write (though that is probably a few days off yet...).

ReplyDeleteSo glad it all went well Melissa and you are being well looked after. Fingers crossed for pathology results and take care xx
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it all went well! Enjoy your rest and recovery. Nothing like a good book to keep you company when you're confined to bed - unless it's several good books! :) Internet is nice too - I spent a whole lot of time on Goodreads when I was sick recently.
ReplyDeleteOh, Melissa, best wishes for a speedy recovery. Sounds like you are being well taken care of. Lean back against those puffy pillows and allow yourself to be pampered!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back & a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it all went well. Enjoy your rest time - I hope you have a pile of really good books.
