I'm home

[Guest guest]

Regina, honey, great to hear from you. Pretty soon that pain will be

a distant memory. I think the crying jag was not just the finality

of it all, but a release of all that pent up frustration of a couple

of years of pain and problems and just general exhaustion. It's good

and necessary to let it all out.

Just rest and let Tim and the kids take care of you. Take that

Vicodan, and get some much-needed rest.

Regina,

Glad you are home. I'm surprised that it took so long to get you moraphine.

When I woke up from my hysterectomy, I had a moraphine pump already

attached. The good news is that the pain doesn't last long. If I remember

correctly, with in a week I didn't even need Tylenol.

I'm sure the crying came from the physical stress that you've been under for

so long combined with the surgery its self. That sad feeling will pass as

well.

Now you get all rested so that you heal well. Relax and enjoy the rest of

the summer.

I think hit it on the head. You take care and when you're off the

drugs, let us know how things are going. Even on them, of course. Glad you came

through well. As one who had the same surgery when she ws 33, I know what you

mean about capacity taken away even though you were not certain you would ever

have another child. There's a difference between having choices, and having a

door closed. Not to be trite, but when one door closes, others open. It is

true. Remember, soon (not right now) you will be wearing white with

impugnity--except of course when eating spaghetti, drinking cherry coolaid, and

dropping

Bic ink gel pens...

this comes with love,

ceep and :

You are both absolutely right and its amazing how your mind tells you

one thing, yet your heart goes in another direction at times..... Doing

better emotionally. Guess part of it is the control thing. Don't mind

giving up things when its my decision. Tim and I had a long talk last

night. Wanted to know what he was feeling for a change. Just seems like

lately everything is about me. He feels bad because I seem so sad and he

knows that I'm still in a good amount of pain, but wasn't planning on

anymore children and just wants me to be happy. Its been a long couple

of months and we're both looking forward to getting back to normal.

Whatever that is. He and the kids have been walking me up and down the

block like a cocker spaniel a few times a day and I've been drinking my

protein shakes. Ran out of powder and am waiting for my delivery from

Miss Vitalady. Hope I get it tomorrow, otherwise I will send him to GNC

to pick up some Whey Stack to hold me over. Looking forward to the

Banana Scream I've been hearing so much about.

Tim took the kids out with my brother and niece to go canoeing today.

I'm resting and reading a book that I bought months ago. Now that school

is over I can read for pleasure for the next two months.

Hope everyone is doing well and again, thank you all for the well

wishes, thoughts and prayers. Also, thanks for all the suggestions and

warnings of what to do and what not to do after a hysterectomy from all

my " sisters " who have gone before me. I appreciate the time everyone

took to write and tell me about their experiences.
