2 Weeks After Hysterectomy and Appendectomy – Lynne’s Story

Hi. It’s just over 2 weeks since I had a full hysterectomy and appendectomy where they also took my appendix out. I was not bleeding after the op but have now started to bleed nothing to worry about the doc says. They removed my staples before leaving hospital and they also leaked for a few days but it has settled down now. I spent 5 days in hospital I was extremely sick and knew it was the pain killers that was causing it had a hard time convincing the nursing staff that I did not want any more pain relief one nurse said “you will not get a medal for this” I explained I could work through the pain but not the sickness. After I stopped the pain killers I was fine although sore. So my advice is you know your own body so go with what you feel is right. I was a very active person before the op so finding it hard trying to taking things easy. I am improving each day although still feel very tired. The op went well however they have now discovered that I have a tumor on my stomach just wondered if anyone has had this. Anyway, taking each day at a time increasing my walking each day but think it will be a while before I will be running again. *************************************************************** Now available on our online store and all other online book store’s.
