5 months post Surgery (7.9 Pounds)
Hey All Its been a while since i posted so I thought I would let you know how things have been going. Its been a roller-coaster if Im being honest.
Firstly, there are SO many things that were so much better straight away, but there were a few things I didn’t think of or expected, so hopefully someone else has had the same.
My recovery has gone text book, no infection, no bleeding etc
I think in many ways im still get my head around this as the said that it filled my whole pelvic cavity. For those that may not remember me posting I had a full hysterectomy and have kept both my ovaries.
Walking has proven more interesting that i ever thought. Its almost like my legs dont listen at times and im going forward and they want to shoot off side ways. I also had alot of trouble if i was on my feet for too long as my legs would start to shake and becomes ever painfull. This is settled down as i become stronger but i must say the cold still to them still which makes them sore. (we are in winter at the moment)
I also had a large hard lump that was noticeable before surgery that sat right on my hip that i felt the fibroid the most, I didn’t think too much it as by there i was so bloated and felt like a whale i figured it was just part of it but after surgery noticed it was very hard so the surgeon though i may need more scan but felt sure it was just very tight muscle due to the position of the fibroid and weight of it. This is naturally slowing going down with more movement and walking.
Energy levels are still a bit up and down, but i do feel overall i have more energy
Emotions, alot more stable but still feel at times that i will be happy, sad, tears and then angry but thankful these are evening out aswell.
I still get bloated on and off but its becoming less and less
Phantom Pains. I still have these, I refer to it as being in the corner, which is the right deep in the hip pelvis area, it feels like im still sitting on, hopefully this make sense.
Nerve Pain this has settled down but I'm still a little weary as they can be nasty, especially the ones that seam to shoot right up the middle of your..... girl bits... enter swear words..lol
I feel more like myself that i have in so long while i know im not as far as long as some other have seamed to bounce back, I am thankful for where i am now and looking forward to be even better and stronger in the next few months.
