Well I got some Dead Sea bath salts today and have been looking forward to having a bath.
Poured a lukewarm bath and in I go..........bliss
it was so relaxing - I felt great.
And then the problem ......... How do I get out?
had to shout on my hubby as I was well and truly stuck. I managed to get onto my knees and out that way. Was not a pretty sight.
That's what I get for being too confident.

That's why I shower because I can't get out of a bath
Ha ha Lyn
i didn't even think of the getting out.
It hasn't put me off though.
I now have a way of getting out but I wouldn't have a bath if I was in on my own. Just in case.
Bless you Lee. I thought I braved it on Sun getting into the bath for a shower.I don't like baths but evenif I did I wouldn't feel happy having one for about 4 weeks.I had my staples out today(did post a discussion but put it on the wrong discussion site).I am more anxious if I come apart now.

Hi Teresa
how was it?
i know what you mean. I wonder what is keeping me together. I just have a bit of surgical tape over the ends. It's amazing isn't it

Hi Di
thats good you have HRT. I hope it works for you.
Isnt everything such an effort. My hubby took myself, my dad and daughter out for some lunch today and by the time I got home I was shattered. I am going to miss my hubby when he goes back to school on Monday

Removing the dressing was the worse bit.The nurse told me to pretend that I was having a bikini wax.The 1st couple of staples tugged a little but I have had a pulling sensation on both ends and she started on the worst end.I only had 9 staples for a cut that was about 8inches.
It's amazing what they can do isn't it.
Well that's it over now - another step closer on our recovery.
My scar is about 8 inches too. It's nice and straight though.
They do a remarkable job

Hi Lee
Hope you didn't hurt yourself struggling to get out of the bath. He! he! good job your hubby was there otherwise it would have to be the Fire Brigade! Now that could be interesting! We have pull cords in every room in our retirement flat (one of the big reasons we moved here, in case Ian collapsed when I wasn't there!) you just call the cord and they send whatever you need! I can just see hunky firemen charging in to rescue you!
Seriously though, take care, it would be awful to damage your recovery after all you have been though.
Love
Jacqui
Hi Jacqui.
I could not bear the fire brigade.
I would have just stayed in the bath forever ha ha
i certainly feel a bit more sore with doing more so I am going to settle down and stop it as I am genuinely afraid I hinder my recovery.
That would just be silly
thank you for your concern

Hi Lee
I keep smiling thinking about the Fire Brigade bursting in. Glad you haven't done any damage. We all want to run before we can walk, it must mean we are all improving. I made it to Boots today which is half way round the village with Rosie, and sat on the one chair in Boots waiting for Ian's drugs, when this elderly lady came in with a stick, and you could see her look at me (I am looking the bees knees and picture of health!) so after a few minutes I offered her my seat and said "I have had my 5 mins", so she said I will be careful only to have 5 mins, so I said "no, no I am just post hysterectomy, resting between walks". Gosh then she was going to give the chair back to me bless her. I said to the assistants you need a row of chairs, they laughed and said nobody would go home then!
Love
Jacqui
Hi Jacqui
how bizarre I was also in boots today and took a seat. This woman asked me if I had a sore back. So told her the story. It must have been the day for us all going to Boots.
Cant believe that's 2 weeks since my op and nearly 2 weeks since yours
where has time gone

I went into the supermarket where I work today and I got told off even pushing an empty trolley but I was leaning on it as I walked round.As it got heavier my Dad pushed it round the bends and finally before we got to the till.I normally moan at my Dad!s packing but today I knew I had to keep quiet.
Hi Lee
Amazing we did the same thing! We will see something on Facebook use about the young taking over the seats! Sorry I shouldn't include myself in that, I am 65 today, but this op has made me feel 30 years younger!
The time is zooming by, I start my increase to 'Week 3 - Things I can do" tomorrow. People keep asking me if I am getting bored, I have to say I am too busy doing my walking, rests and flights of stairs, he! he! it must be taking me ages because the time keeps disappearing!
Take care
Love
Jacqui
Yes it's good to lean on isn't it. Well I am going to stay in for the next few days as I am tired. Try and get myself into a good book
andy hung out washing and I so wanted to go and rearrange it.
It's difficult keeping quiet isn't it

Happy Birthday.
At least the op wasn't on your birthday.When you are stronger have a belated birthday treat.

Jacqui where do you have things to do by weeks
I would like to have a read of that.
I am struggling to walk but I get up to bed much easier now

Wow Jacqui 65 today. How good is it that you are feeling so much younger
happy birthday.
I am 49 and felt 79 going out today.
Hope you had a nice day and so happy you feel so good

Hi Teresa
Thank you so much. I have had a smashing day, hubby really spoilt me with lots of lovely tight fitting clothes, and ..... they fit. The op was the best present because everything has been put back where it should be, my stomach is flat, and I feel fantastic. I have to stop myself because I feel so fit. I know I am very very lucky having the vaginal way, recovery is much quicker.
I do hope you will soon be feeling great and happy you had your op and how good life is.
Take care
Love
Jacqui
