I just had my 2 week post op appt and I have an infection around my cuff and possibly one in my bellybutton incision 😭 My dr started me on 2 antibiotics and I go back on June 1st but I’m not cleared for anything yet. My recovery has been rough
I go for my 2 week check up on Friday but I think I might go to urgent care tomorrow. My belly button incision hurts so bad like I can barely move and if I try to stand up or accidentally touch near it, it brings me to tears. It doesn’t look infected but it really hurts. I’m having like internal cramps otherwise but not all that bad. I only have 1 painkiller left ( I take 1 at bedtime if I need it) but Tylenol and ibuprofen aren’t doing much for me right now
I’ve been doing my best to walk my hallway and bedroom as much as I can but I’m having such tenderness on my bellybutton incision I’m walking like shuffling around and slightly hunched. Tomorrow will be 7dpo so I know it’s early but I see so many people walking like it’s nothing
When does the dizziness and weakness go away? I’ve been trying to get up and walk a little every couple hours. I’ve only been taking 1 oxy at bedtime if needed. I feel very lightheaded and weak . Still moving very slow
I posted yesterday about being scared to rip my cuff getting out of bed. It’s still hard but last night my belly button started to bleed a little. It has hurt ever since I got my surgery but it’s really hard to walk when it’s hurting that bad. I’m also terrified to take a shower. My gas is all in my lower abdomen which I am passing but I’m also bleeding. Please tell this gets better I’m not having a good time
I just got my laparoscopic hysterectomy yesterday. They kept me overnight but now I’m home and it’s really hard to get in and out of bed. Unfortunately I don’t have a chair or anything. I’m really scared about tearing my cuff trying to get up
