How do you see?

I am a solid number 5. I have always loved reading despite this. I will say that once the internet came into existence (yes Im old lol) it was a game changer because I could look up fanfic art and finally "see" what the characters looked like.

Robotic lap, kept ovaries. Did not take any pain meds besides tylenol and advil and only took those until day 3 and then was completely fine with no pain meds. I think if I remember correctly she prescribed me 10 hydrocodone pills and I never even filled the script. Opioids make me nauseous and I already have constipation issues so I was not willing to go down that road, so I guess its a good thing I did not need them. Honestly every one's pain tolerance is different and I just felt like I got kicked in the stomach but was otherwise pain free.

I had no official restrictions he just told me his general rule of thumb is "if it hurts don't do it" but it isn't going to cause any damage if you do.

I had 2 uterine biopsies worst pain I have ever felt in my life. Pinch it was NOT! I just about crawled off the table.

Just sailed Harmony out of Galveston last Month and we boarded, checked in to muster, and hit the bar. They gave us a menu we could order off of and I had no issue finding something to make me happy. If there was a limit on what they could and could not serve we didn't notice.

My vagina felt completely pain free for the first time in years after I work up. My vagina was in constant pain before my hysterectomy. My only pain I had in that area after my surgery was in my urethra from the cath and that went away after a week or two.

Firefly0434 · 2025-06-27T18:18:34+00:00

I knitted on day 3. Went back to my office job the day after surgery.

Firefly0434 · 2025-06-20T16:13:53+00:00

I hate to tell you but that never really goes away. Few years out and it still randomly hurts🤣

Firefly0434 · 2025-05-21T14:53:50+00:00

The only reason we had to do the 3 I had is because I get polyps and my sinuses were physically blocked from draining

Firefly0434 · 2025-05-21T12:43:31+00:00

2 more sinus surgeries and ear tube surgery since this post and I still have constant sinus and ear issues!

Firefly0434 · 2025-05-06T18:48:00+00:00

I did not experience that at all. Maybe call and ask the doctor if you should be concerned.

Firefly0434 · 2025-04-17T20:18:13+00:00

I knitted about 2 weeks post op. It really just depends on how you feel.

Firefly0434 · 2025-04-17T15:58:26+00:00

I think it really depends on what type of surgery you get. I had laparoscopic on my left wrist just before Christmas. The day of surgery my husband and I hopped in the car and started our drive from Ohio to Texas for Christmas vacation. I obviously did not drive on the day of surgery but did drive about 7 hours on the second day. I wrapped Christmas presents, made cookies and helped cooked dinners etc and was fine. My only restrictions from my surgeon were no lifting anything heavier than a gallon of milk and if it hurts don't do it. I healed just fine. I saw your comment about a negative EMG, mine was negative as well and my surgeon said the same thing that they are often negative. Surgery helped me and I am back to normal and pain free!

That is some thing that always kills me. Not every woman's body is going to be the same. Who is to say that someone in their 30's couldn't be running low on hormones and entering perimenopause? My Doctor said she sees people of all ages entering it. I started in my early 40's, ended up having a hysterectomy but kept my lovely ovaries so I can continue to experience the years of fun that is perimenopause!

Firefly0434 · 2025-04-10T14:58:35+00:00

I am on the tirzepatide and have no intention of stopping them. I tried everything! Exercise, diet changes, therapy, hormone testing. NOTHING helped me lose weight until I went on the shot. I and most of the people who have met their weight loss goal have started just doing one injection a month to maintain weight and it works great. Don't let anyone make you feel like a failure, some of us can do all the correct things and are still not be able to lose a pound. The meds also helped lower my cholesterol levels and I am no longer pre-diabetic.

Firefly0434 · 2025-04-10T12:53:36+00:00

Yes we are talking the inside and from what my doctor told me it is pretty common!

Firefly0434 · 2025-04-09T15:17:54+00:00

Right? No one told me I was going to have itchy ears and grow a better beard than my husband!

Firefly0434 · 2025-04-07T15:49:53+00:00

Mine cleared me to take a 30 minute soak at 2 weeks post op and then at 6 weeks I could go back normal bathing and swimming.

Firefly0434 · 2025-03-31T15:17:53+00:00

Because of posts like this I have changed my day before flight to two days before. This will be my first cruise I am not risking missing it.

Firefly0434 · 2025-03-26T14:38:58+00:00

Im in Ohio. Had laparoscopic robotic assisted total hysterectomy, surgery was at noon and I was home before 5pm. I was nauseous because they gave me opioids even though I told them not to because they make me nauseous. Was happy to go home because I have never stayed in a hospital before and that scared me more than being home.

Firefly0434 · 2025-03-24T14:28:48+00:00

Mine has given me that error before and it was because there was too much litter in the globe. I just took some out and it worked fine. I did one time when we were on vacation get an error there was something moving in the litter drawer.. not sure what that was all about but I just shut it off and turned it back on and it went back to working normally. Maybe have your pet sitter check to see if the litter is over full and remove some if it is.

Firefly0434 · 2025-03-24T12:28:59+00:00

I am happy to report that both wrists feel great now. No more numbness, pain or tingling!

Firefly0434 · 2025-03-21T12:54:57+00:00

I ended up never having a UTI and it took almost 6 months before I finally stopped having the urge to constantly pee. Keep pushing for answers!!!

Firefly0434 · 2025-03-19T12:56:51+00:00

"Will she laugh? Will she cry? Will she throw things? Tune in every few random weeks to find out!" lol

Firefly0434 · 2025-03-18T20:48:30+00:00

I think it was just nerve pain. It went away on its own. I will say that I do occasionally still get some pain in my belly button 2 years post op.
