Hysterectomies - it's gotta be done but over here for hand holding part two

[Oddsocksrus]

Over here for the hand holding.
One in five women in the uk will have to have a hysterectomy at some point in their lives.
Come and join us if you are waiting, pre op, bleery eyed on the ward or recovering afterwards.

There must be something in the air I too am knackered today - planning a low activity day tomorrow with a small break for a facial at 3 ... Oh the stress

Btw drove today and was fine - in fact better than peeling the potatoes later !

King the only strain I feel with the driving is pulling up the handbrake.
Apart from that it's dandy.
The thing I find hardest is getting up from kneeling. ( lol) I mean from lighting the fire etc.

Yes I feel sort of cautious when using the handbrake like it do a mischief but hasn't ....

Just be careful. At 5 weeks I felt fine, then had a new dragging sensation that lasted a couple of weeks. I think how you feel, might not be actually indicative of how you really are. Take the full 6 - 8 weeks minimum.

I've just got in from the pub and I've had to edit this carefully. i'm not very good at typing after a skinful

Well done shew. Near perfect .

I have new pain the last couple of days. Quite sharp in the pelvic area as if whatever stitching to suspend bowel, bladder etc is being pulled. I spent most of yesterday in bed or on a sofa. I can't believe I physically overdid it

No driving here

I'm having a sofa day today all very burny feeling today and dragging feeling so going to chill ... Ds being a pain he's off to a sports day thing at school but procrastinating as he's tired ... I need him to give me some peace today

Luckily dh finishes for 2 weeks tomorrow soo someone to do some work around here ....

well I've learnt a good lesson!
I cannot do a full day yet! its dd's 4th birthday party today and I spent yesterday all day pretty much, standing cooking and decorating cake etc
by 7 I was literally howling in pain! When I came round from the op I had terrible bum pain - from my coxyx through to the perineum, it took 10mg of morphine that time to go away. it came back again last night, it was shocking.

I frightened the life out of dh, poor love didn't know what to do, but after a while he recovered enough to make jokes about piles.... love him
don't know what it is but the emergency stash of tramadol and dyclofenac came in handy. I'll be a bit of a space cadet today but perhaps that's not an entirely bad thing with 20 4 year olds screaming lol!

Ooh that sounds grim think all of us 3 weekers are having a grim few days x

Hmmm. Bum pain . Does sound a bit unusual but then you had that thing with the amazing bursting stitches. I'd talk to your GP myself.

I have a headache but I think that was wine :)

Oh god, oh god what have I done? 18 pages slagging off Peter Andre and I've just posted saying I like him. Am I still suffering the effects of last night? Am I mad? Will you all still talk to me?

Sorry, hope the birthday party goes well today odds and don't overdo it, and make things even worse.

Happy birthday to odds dd

Who is Peter Andre?

kevin you need to get off judge Judy and on to proper good tv

I feel like there is a small knife positioned in my perineum sometimes when I sit down. Bum pain also experienced here. Yours sounds far worse though Odds

Kevin and shew. Find a book before it's too late and your rationality is just wrecked forever !!

He he I didn't get my fix today as there was a six foot boy sleeping it off in the playroom. He has gone now.

I do read in the afternoons... And you can say one thing for judge judy, it stops me watching Jeremy Kyle.

Saw a game in whsmith yesterday, where they give you real life court cases and you have to decide what you think the judge actually ruled. Perhaps you might like to add this to your christmas list kevin

Gawd no the fascination is in the people watching and in hearing JJ say all the things we are normally too embarrassed to say. Her judgements are not really why I watch it.

This will be the year I send proper Christmas cards with thoughtful personal messages and little letters in...possibly....

Can I say also spent yesterday afternoon listening to Ian bostridge singing die Schoene muellerin and it almost made me cry....

It's no good trying to persuade us you are a high class chick. We know the truth

I get a slight pain when I wipe my bum and things sometimes pull.

I am the elite I tell you....

Classical music, sore arses. This thread has got it all.
I am about to brave tesco. < shudder>

And snow leopards. You mustn't forget the snow leopards.

I have a whole drawer full now of medicines, including pills on a stick to put up the fanjo, blood pressure meds, oestrogen patches, machinery to strengthen my pelvic floor, headache meds....

I feel a nice Christmassy listen of the messiah coming on. The old Emma Kirkby / Christ church cathedral 1980s version, if anyone is interested.

going to Tescos . Internet shopping is our friend.

Sniggering here and have had to delete a 'lowering the tone' bit of over sharing

Oh holy night is my favourite carol.

I cannot bear any sort of untoward movement in the pelvic area so I had for breakfast: prunes and porridge followed by lactulose. For lunch: soup followed by some dates. For dinner: risotto, lactulose. For snacking grapes and more dates. Peppermint tea, capsules and cod liver oil are thrown in throughout the day... Drinking plenty. I feel like my granny who had a funny obsession with her bowels

Omg you should have seen some, ahem, progress by now. Are you sure they didn't bypass or relocate your bowel altogether? Prhaps it now leads somewhere new? There may be a HUGE pile of feacal matter somewhere in the nurses quarters with people leaning over it gong, "WTF did all those prunes come from?"

Christ church boys currently singing "all we, like sheep". Meeeeeeh.

Ps will play aled jones doing oh holy night in your honour.

I invested in a music server recently so I can play my entire collection at a swipe of an iPad, and it's been worth every penny. (Ok, maybe worth half what I paid, but I DONT CARE)
