Second Surgery down

Jun 17, 2012

Well, my hysterectomy went pretty good. I had to be at the hospital at 10am, and didnt get in for surgery until 2pm. I hate waiting for crap like that!! 

Needless to say, I had a few complications - I "oozed" during the procedure, and lost a lot of blood. Surgery was supposed to be about 90 minutes, and wound up lasting about 3.5 hours. I woke up the next morning, and had vertigo. Seems its my reaction to anesthesia. Great... fortunately, Dr Marici got me Meclazine quickly, and after about an hour, it passed. I got up, walked, peed and was discharged home, YAY!!! 

That was Tuesday. Today is Sunday.

I just got home from the ER. I have an infection in on of my surgical incisions. This is one of the things they dont tell you about RNY - you dont heal very well. Your wounds ooze more than normal, you bleed more and dont heal very well. No more surgeriesfor a while... I need to allow my body time to adjust to being the way it is.

So, I am on an antibiotic. I feel good, and am moving much better than last time.

On a good note, I have starting losing some weight again - of course, I have cut carbs out of my diet and started eating proteins more and more again. It makes a difference. Going back to basics is what I needed to do, and this surgery gave me the perfect opportunity to get back there.

Okay, off to fold laundry!!!
