Today I got up and put on a little makeup and sort of fixed my hair some. I wanted to look better to express that I felt better. I'm not a 100% yet. After I got dressed and fixed myself some breakfast I was tired and laid down and slept for an hour then got up again and my mom come in then.
I've enjoyed my mom being here to help do laundry and clean the kitchen and cook. Its been a big help and getting the kids to and from where they need to go. My mom and step dad Larry, will be leaving tomorrow to head back to El Paso Tx.
I just find myself so tired......
Its been a week since I had surgery. I had a hysterectomy. My uterus was removed, it had fibroids in it. It was enlarged. One thing I didn't plan on but am thankful it has been fixed was the repair job that had to be done on my bladder. Because of repairing I get the joy of having a leg bag/catheter to deal with for a week. My bladder has to be emptied at all times so that he can heal. I go to the doctor on Thursday for a check up and hope to leave behind my "bag".
Its weird to think of all that I've been through and there is no baby to take care of.....I had three c-sections with my kids and the recovering is very similar as healing from an abdominal hysterectomy. But I'm recovering, trying to heal and regain my energy.
I did learn that this time around in the hospital I am sensitive to most pain medications. It was awful that instead of just one night in the hospital it was two nights. They made me so sick and sleepy .....yucky! We did finally figure out what I could tolerate but even then since I've gotten home I try not to use them and just use the high dosage of Ibuprofen.
But with all that behind me and the upcoming follow-up (hopefully getting rid of this catheter) I'm just taking things easy, resting, and napping. I'm not thinking of much else right now.
