I had my hysterectomy surgery yesterday morning. I came home late last night, slept in the recliner, and am having to rely on pain meds to feel remotely decent. The hospital was fantastic in having me nurse just before surgery and using safe meds so that I could nurse immediately after too. I’m so thankful for that.
I’m super sore. I have a feeling grief over being done with babies will come. Even if I was ready to be finished, the possibility of more was always there. Lachlan’s birth was a clear answer that it was time. I look forward to life with less pain and all the ramifications that adenomyosis brought, but it’s a weird place to be in right now.
Pray for my recovery? Two surgeries in seven weeks is hard to recover from. I feel like I just did this.
Now I’m going back to snuggling my baby and being so thankful for him.
Oh my goodness! I had no idea you were going to have this surgery. I sure hate all you have gone through lately. PRAY for the pain and for a quicker recovery than expected. Thanks for letting us know.
Lachlan’s birth became an emergency because the adenomyomas inside my uterus started ripping away as he descended and I began to hemorrhage. It threatened both of us. Another pregnancy would be also threatened, and the only solution to the side effects I have from this is hysterectomy. The doc said the damage inside was extensive and my pain should be significantly lessened. I’m hopeful.
Thanks for the update. I think you will recover well. Anne Hutchinson and Suzanna Westley each had about 16 children but that was in the 17th and 18th century so they did not have the modern medical care that you are so thankful for.
Stay in touch and stay warm this winter now that you are no longer in Southwest MO.
Thankful you are going to be able to feel better soon. PRAYING!!!
How are you doing? Trust you are much better and healing well.
So much better. I’m tired today after a long day but I survived getting groceries with nine kids without much pain at all. It was the first time I’ve ventured out. Thanks for asking!
Thank the LORD!! Just don’t over do it. You sure do not want to over work your body. You have been through so much.
