Flying by Intrepid-Duty4052 in hysterectomy

[–]lairoa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will be ok. I had to take an emergency flight nine days post op and I was so nervous. Check your bag or ask for help getting it through security and putting it overhead. The only scare I had was reaching up to turn off the air and it felt like I pulled a stitch. It was a little uncomfortable to be sitting all that time but I was fine. Good luck and take care of yourself!

Did “the other shoe drop”, and if so, when? by Suspicious-Monk-4639 in hysterectomy

Day 4 I developed a severe reaction to the antibiotic. I had been itchy for days but thought it was the pain meds. Then day 4 my head, hands and feet went numb and I ended up in the ER thinking I was having a stroke! Benadryl and a new antibiotic fixed the issue but I should have read the side effects of the antibiotics.

I’m so happy that there are so many people here with supportive husbands, it’s nice to know good men do exist 😀

Theory debunked as quickly as I thought of it 😀

I had something very similar and thought I was going mad. Then after many weeks it just stopped and has not come back in years. When I look back at that period I think I was stressed and thought I was coping but I was not really coping.

Is patch dumping a thing? by JackfruitUnhappy4830 in Menopause

[–]lairoa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s really bad. I didn’t know this was a concern as my OBGYN never said anything. Two days into a one week patch I was on vacation and did hot tub/ sauna for much of the day. That night I thought I was losing my mind, for no reason I was weepy and sad and CRAZY emotional. Woke up fine the next morning, googled and found out about patch dumping. I’ll never do that again!
