Jackpot

I have finally had the courage to do the hoovering today, 3 months on since the op, and ........... had sex as well.  So completely back to full working condition.  Just need permission on Monday at my post op check up to pick up the dog and I am sorted.  Have had a fantastic journey through recovery and having the op was definitely one of my better decisions.

Wishing everyone a splendid recovery.

Love

Jacqui 

Hee hee you do make me smile. Thanks Jacqui you have definitely kept my spirits high with your positive attitude. smile x

Great news Jackie. You have had a great journey. Well done you with your positive attitude and great zest for life. 

I am too doing well. 11 weeks post op on wed and back to work on 29th. Attempted sex twice and getting there. Still feel a bit on edge though. Scar looking great and apart from a little tiredness and constipation feeling well. 

Thank god it's all over

love to Ian and Rosie. 

Love lee, Max and poppy xxxx

Hi Jacqui,

good to hear you on the jackpot trail, well done you.

i am 4 weeks post op and feel a long way off my jackpot, doing ok really not much energy.

just wondered if you or anyone has problems in a car as find the vibration and bumpy roads cause quite a lot of pain.

I've still got that horrible discharge but from discussions from our ladies on the site this can last quite some time.

i am doing a little more pottering, hoping to get into a bit more shape soon but my physio lady has restricted very much but says walking ok and to build it up.

just to say you have been marvellous to many of us bless you with your input. Wishing you the very best.

love Ann

 

Morning Ann,

You are doing great.4 weeks is still early days.I am 10 weeks post op op Tues.I only saw someone from physio once and they were not very good.Don't let them restrict you too much.You will know what you can do.I was out and about within 3 days of coming out of hospital.The 5th day i was out and about 6 hrs walking round shopping,even pushing a supermarket trolley.I felt fine.As for the car journeys use a cushion under the seat belt.Again i was lucky there aswell as i only needed this for a week.We are all so different with our recovery.

Take care.

Congratulations Jacqui !

You are 99% there.If you get the go ahead tomorrow go and treat yourself to something nice to celebrate.Don't give up with your pists,we all enjoy reading them.

Good luck

Sorry my posts came out wrong.I haven't woken up yet.

Hi Lee,

This will be my 2nd week back to work.I did 3 hrs for 4days last week.It wasn't too bad apart from really aching all over the 2nd morning and a bit of back ache on Fri.Sitting at a checkout for 3 hrs is too long,i need a stretch in between.I was offered the same hrs this week but i thought that was a bit naughty to agree to that so i have offered to try 4 hrs.I am doing 4 hrs Mon,Tues,Thurs & Fri and i am doing 3hrs Sat.I nirnally work every other Sat and this will be my first since my op and as we are normally busier on a Sat my manager only wants me to work 3hrs.My hrt seems to be working ok.I don't get the hot flushes and i am sleeping a bit better.Time to get up.

Take care

Hi Jacqui

So pleased to hear you are fully recovered.  I was very lucky as well as I had no problems with my recovery.  My only worry was that, after a traumatic split from my husband of nearly 30 years, I was on my own for 18 months during which time my prolapse was diagnosed cry but I also met a lovely mansmile.  I had to tell him about my problem and thought it might put him off!  But two months later when I had the op he was brilliant and took care of me over the whole 6 weeks recuperation.  I really feel I have won the jackpot as well and even though I was terribly worried about the sex side, all has turned out absolutely fine.  

Good luck to all of you out there with getting through this difficult time!

Love

Sharon

Hi Jacqui.   You have done so well with your recovery.  Glad to hear everything is now in full working order. 😍.     I m still sometimes getting just a little bit of pinkish discharge after sex but that's from the haematoma.  Been on holiday for the last ten days and happens far more then but hasn t made it any worse.  What is it with men and hotel beds!      Still got another eight days here in the sun.  Hope all goes well tomorrow with the appointment tomorrow.  Xx

Hi Teresa, Thanks for your message,, so glad your doing so well, you are right each one of us has a different recovery rate, I am hoping to feel much more myself soon and looking forward to getting some decent clothes on, I have a wedding to go to in around a month followed by a family holiday!

Hope all continues to go well.

love Ann x

Hi Froggy

So glad I help brighten your day, hee! hee! I drive my hubby mad, being a depressive having a wife that is always hyper cheerful can be a bit wearing on the nerves!  

Hope you are doing well and enjoying your recovery.

Love

Jacqui lol

Hi Poppy

Many thanks for your good wishes.  Very glad you are doing well.  It is very unfortunate that you have had to cope with the problems menopause (I hated the menopause, and so loved my HRT was very sad when I had to come off of it and then straight into menopause!)  brings straight away but your HRT worked well for you, sometimes it takes ages to get the right one.  

Hasn't the time gone really quickly, I cannot believe you are back to work on the 29th, it is amazing.  Are you looking forward to it?    

Tee! hee! poor Ian was very nervous about sex, while I was like a prize race horse!  Don't know what Mr El Gorigor my surgeon did but considering I have felt nothing down there for at least 3 years (too much bladder and bowel in the way!) - well he must have pressed the 'red' button.  I was like Ian's cheerleader!  Shouting 'go on boy, you can do it!'  Poor Rosie was frightened and kept jumping on the bed to save me. We have only had her a year so of course she has not heard her mummy making such strange noises before!  Oh we did laugh!

Is your hubby glad it is nearly all over?  It was a shock for the poor men, but we have pulled through!

Love to your hubby, Max and Poppy.

Love

Jacqui lol

Hi Ann

Thank you for your lovely words, it is really appreciated.    You will find as you increase your walking, gradually your energy will come back.  As you get the muscles working it seems to power up the body.  

That sounds very painful being jogged about on the bumpy roads.  I only had a problem on the day coming home from the hospital, they have introduced speed bumps in the hospital car park and that was very scary.  

Hopefully we will get some lovely sunshine and then you can have a lovely summer increasing your energy and your sun tan.  Hope you are doing your kegels!  

Keep up the good work.  

Love

Jacqui lol

Hi Sharon

Thank you for your kind words.

Oh I am so pleased for you, it really proves how good your man is when they have to help see you through something like this so early in a new relationship.  Hang on to him Sharon there are not many nice ones around, might you most of the ladies on this forum seem to have very helpful hubbies, so we are all lucky.  It cannot have been easy for you having to pick up the pieces after you split from your husband.cry  I think you have done wonders.

 Isn't it scary when a prolapse is first diagnosed?  I wondered what the hell had happened! rolleyes  I remember running all the way up to the surgery!  I laugh about it now!   Tee! hee! I thought my insides were falling out!  Well I suppose they were in a way!  

So glad you have had a good recovery.  Hasn't the recovery time gone fast, I cannot believe it.   It is wonderful to have this forum and the support of all the lovely ladies, it helps to know you are not alone through this scary journey.  

So pleased for you Sharon, take care.

Love

Jacqui lol

Hi Clarissabelle

Oh please send us some of your sunshine, it has been raining for the last two days in Norfolk!  

Thank you for your kind words.  

Ah nothing like a good hotel room to get the hormones going.  Tee! hee! at least you are getting good practice!   lol

I really hope your haematoma sorts it's self out soon, it must be a real nuisance for you.  

Enjoy the rest of your holiday, and I am glad your hubby is keeping your exercise up!  redface

Love 

Jacqui smile

 

Hi Jacqui, I think your right, I do need to do more walking to power up.

i think we should have our own TV channel, a bit like the old woman's hour on the radio and I think  you should be the presenter, we will spread love and advice on all subjects that only women want to talk about, there are no two ways about it when a forum like this is available there is a great feel good factor in the air and support system.! 

Of course you could be too busy with your jackpot activities!

love Ann

Hi Ann

I love it, when do I start? razz I think that would be the bestest ever job in the world!  Don't worry I can always fit in 'jackpot activities!'  rolleyes

So go girl, get walking, find a few lovely spots so you can enjoy the scenery, or even round the shops looking at all the clothes whatever makes you feel good while you are walking.  I chat away to Rosie when we are walking along, and I point out all the wildlife to her, and she stops and looks and her eyes get wider and wider with wonderment, I get such a buzz out of it.  Of course people passing think I am a 'luney tunes' but as I have gone completely wacky with my clothes since I have been fixed I might as well go the whole hog!

Seriously though Ann I think you will definitely start to feel a lot better when you walk, and you can do no harm, as you get fitter throw in a few flights of stairs here and there and you have a complete Cardio workout that is safe and costs nothing!  

Do you know I really really love your idea about the TV show!  Hee! hee! they would never get us off air would they?  cool

As soon as it stops raining off you go left right, left right, then right left, right left!

Love

Jacqui lol

Hi Jacqui, I think you would be great too! I am always thinking up ideas for tv shows and books, maybe with your humour you should write a funny and suportive handbook.

I do a lot of research and writing on Renewable energy and climate change so this takes a lot of my time at present.

So I do need to get off my computer and get marching, I will start the staircase tomorrow and build it up!

Have a lovely evening, lots of love Ann xx

Hi Jacqui

Thanks for your kind comments.

It made me laugh when you mentioned about your insides falling out.  I'm a regular runner but during the time I was waiting for my op my daughter refused to run with me.  She said 'don't be silly mother, it might all fall out!'  Anyway I'm back to running again despite being 62 with arthritis in my hip but hey-ho I'm going to carry on till I can't do it any more.  I just feel great to have got back to good health and my life getting back on track.

Best wishes to you and all the other ladies on this wonderful site.

Sharon
