Hysterectomy planned for Monday

[Guest guest]

I wanted to ask for your prayers for me for this coming Monday when I

have a planned hysterectomy operation at Mayo. I will be staying in the

Methodist Hospital there for three days approximately following that. In

answer to questions I am sure some of you are wondering about: the ovaries

will be staying/all else will go, I am having it due to women's issues that

have been bothering me for years and for major affects upon my body monthly

from the harsh cycles, and it will be done vaginally rather than through the

stomach. Feel free to ask anything further, but I know these three answers

have been given to most of the women hearing about my planned operation. We

will be meeting with the anesthesiologist prior to the operation to make

sure they avoid all the things Mito people need to avoid and will be having

the operation around 9:30 AM this coming Monday (3/14/05). My hubby plans

to stay in a hotel with all but three of the kids so the little ones are

close by in case they need me and so the separation won't be as long. They

can visit me during the daytime and I can make sure all of them are being

well cared for, etc... We will go to Mayo on Sunday and probably not have

access to any computer until Wednesday evening or Thursday so I will update

you all when I return home. Thanks for your prayers ahead of time.

Darlene,

What are the things Mito patients should avoid during anesteshia...I

have mentioned this before at our local Children's Hospital...they

knew nothing of it. I know to avoid lactate ringers, but that is all

I am aware of.

Prayers with you.

Darla,

Good luch on Monday. From experience I am speaking here, please

take it easy upon returning home. It is easy to overdo and then your

recovery will be harder. Force yourself to follow physicians orders

so you won't have any complications. I think us mito moms push too

hard for the good of our kids sometimes but it can hurt us in the

long run. Please take it easy. Let others help and put yor feet up.

Get spoiled if you can. Again, Good luck!!!!!

Good luck with your surgery, Darla. I will definitely keep you in my prayers. Please let me know if there's anything I can do for you upon your return home. Take care of yourself.

My oldest two daughters ages 13 and 14 are big helpers and so we should

be fine. I plan to sit on the couch holding kids quite a bit of the time

but definitely avoiding carrying and picking them up as I have heard you

should avoid lifting anything heavier than 20 lbs. for up to 6 weeks

following the operation. Thanks for your (and everyone's) concern!

Many, many prayers are sent for a speedy recovery, just be sure to

try to get a lot of rest. It sounds like you have a wonderful support

group at home, definately try to take advantage, enjoy being waited on hand

and foot, I think you deserve it. Good luck, and thanks for so much

help recently.

I have to agree; not only a strong support team of family; but you are

not only superwoman, but your husband is superman. To bring the kids

with you so they are near to you. It's a lot for all of you to deal

with. Diapers, meds, feedings, etc. etc. I will think of you Monday

morning and pray that all goes well. And as it's been said, enjoy

being pampered even though it was because of a surgery YOU DESERVE it!!

Good luck with you and good luck to your family in handling all the

life's daily grind.
