Well it is my op tomorrow! Everyone here on my retirement complex keeps asking me if I am nervous about tomorrow, I keep saying my head has not got that far yet! I am fixated on giving myself the injection at 6 p.m. tonight, If I can manage that then I can cope with anything (hopefully)! Hubby is on standby to do the injection if I can't - trouble is his poor hands shake something awful, he! he! good incentive to make me do it, I hope!
Just like to wish you all a Very Happy Easter and thanks for all your help while I have had the 'long wait' for the op.
Wishing you lots of luck (though you won't need it) tomorrow Jacqui, I'm in my 60's and had mine done just before Christmas last year, best thing that could have happened, at our ages you don't expect to have to be coping with 'ladies' problems, you will feel so much better afterwards, when I first came on this website I never anticipated so many ladies suffering in the same way, you always feel as if you are on your own, everyone on here helped me so much.
Hi Hun I wish you all the very best for Tom please let me know how you get on I am so nervous thinking of mine on the 17th you will be fine good luck. Xx
I'm 61 and had my op done 8 weeks ago. I have been back at my part time job for two weeks and feel fine. I don't know whether you are having a vaginal hysterectomy - I hope you are - as I had mine done this way and I felt fine from day one - no pain , discomfort or bleeding. I even returned to jogging at 5 weeks post op!
Will be thinking of you tomorrow Jacqueline. Wishing you good luck but like already posted you won't need it. Just remember to take care and give yourself to heal. Happy Easter Jo x
Good luck Jacqui, mines tomorrow too and my stomach is rolling over! I haven't felt like eating all day. Speak soon (minus our Womb etc) All the best xx
Let us know how your recovery is going. Its my turn on the 9th. This forum has been a fantastic help so best wishes to all who are in the recovery stage and to those who are waiting.x
Hi Jacqui. Good luck from your role model. You ll be fine and sitting all glammed up from day two. Wish I could see the size of your bag after you ve packed everything you had on the list. Keep in touch. Claire x
I feel that I am packing everything but the kitchen sink.I don't know what the hospital would supply if need be.It might of been your list that I read to give me all the tips.The only problem is that the locker by your bed is not big and easy to get to bearing inmind that you won't be able to bend down.
The hospital didn't supply anything. To be honest, I didn t use half what I took with me. Make sure you've some wet wipes, lip salve, knickers and pads. Then really just your nightwear and slippers and toiletries. Good luck. It will soon be over and you ll be on the recovery road x
Don't worry I have got the BIG granny knickers for comfort.I am worried about the pads.I don't really want to buy the thick Kotex ones but I am worried about how much I will bleed afterwards.I have the peppermint tea bags,the constipation pills( might wait till I go home before I start these as there will probably only be one toilet per bay.The sexy nighties are ready(normally wear pyjamas)I have snacks,magazines,notebook and pen.I don't like drinking water so I have got a couple of those tiny squash bottles which are so light to carry.We have posh TV's and phones in our hospital.Every bed gas one and you buy a card but I don't know if you can use ear phones instead of the great big head phones.I have even got my TV guide and I gave marked off stone programmes that I want to watch.Hiw organised am I?
I didn t bleed that much in the beginning. Just used some supermarket own stick on towels and they were fine. The bowel goes to sleep for a couple of days so be prepared for that.those TV s are so expensive. Ours was ten pounds a day!! I used my I pad and had a TV app on it.
