First ten days after surgery
May 14, 2010
In some ways it's gone much better then I expected but others not so much. I find I'm having mood swings pretty bad. Three days after surgery I couldn't get ah old of my husband who had come back home to go back to work and I had a crying fit. Then when he came out to see me on the weekend I had three more, and then decided I was coming home three days early!I had my follow up appointment on Wed, which was basically a waste of time. He just asked how I'm feeling, if I've been sick, dumping, blah blah blah.
I'm mostly off the pain killers and going for walks. Yesterday I woke up at seven am and was so hyper and wanting to DO something!!!
My friend and other supporters from the WLF are telling me NOT to do any vacuuming or stuff like that, but it's hard for me to leave it. I have much more energy now, and my hubby works his butt off and I like him coming home to a clean house.
I'm still not eating as much as I should be, but am getting better. I'm having more problems with the vitamins then anything (and resting) I'm not taking nearly enough Iron so I'm going to send my son out for the right stuff when he gets here in a hour or so. I also find that me, who used to sleep at lease 12 hrs a day and could nap another three (ex specially when I was sick) can't sleep as much. I think I've only napped three times since I've been out of the hospital!!! Kinda annoying cause I know my body NEEDS it.
I've lost 18lbs which is great :) Gotta love that! Haven't checked my measurements yet. Some days it looks like I've gained a pound, but it's back done the next day, so I'm thinking it's just water.
Was a very bad girl last night and had sex with my hubby. They told me with the hysterectomy that it was six weeks and we waited six days, so I figured that after nine days, I'd be ok. Hurt a little, but I was feeling like I was really communing down with something last night (like a chest cold) and had a horrible night with a sore throat, sore ears and a cough. Kept having very strange dreams and waking up every few minutes. Took the codeine this morning more for the cough then the pain!
Feeling better now, except for being dizzy, but again that's due to the iron. I'm suppose to get my INR done today and Dr Malik has a whole pile of blood tests that need to be done, but not sure when. Think I may just do them today. If I'm going to get poked, may as well get it all done at once.
Oh I'm also feeling very airheaded! I'm having probelms with my thought process, like if I think too hard it hurts lol, rack that up to the drugs too I guess :)
