Recovery

On May 26th I had the wonderful opportunity to have a hysterectomy so I've been out of commission for a few days. Today is the first day that I have felt half decent. I believe it's a man who has made the decision that a woman should be able to go home after 1.5 days in the hospital after having her guts removed. And bladder repaired. I'd like to ask him if he thinks he could handle that after having a private part of his cut off and then head back to work a few days later.
I'd like to thank those who have loved and supported me through this. Jared, my son who works in the OR where I had this done is always so cute and attentive. He always makes sure dad and I have the best anesthesiologists to do the job. While I was there he came in my room before surgery and visited. I was scheduled to go to surgery at 11 so they had me come in at 9:30am. At 11 they took me to the holding room you go to before surgery and the anesthesiologist and doctor come in to talk to you before. Well, after 45 min. they came to tell me the doctor had been held up in another surgery so it would be a while. Well, then again after 45 min. they came to tell me it would be quite a while because there were bad complications in the surgery before mine. They wheeled me out back to my room in Same Day. Kristi, and her kids and Jared came back to visit me and so did Rog. They kept me company until I finally went to surgery at 3pm. Everything went well and I was in my room around 6:30pm. I was quite nauseated and vomited a few times but Rog was at my side to help me through it all. He's been a great help and I've appreciated him so much. I had friends come and see me and bring me things. My sister came with her husband and brought me a malt and gifts. Shana and her family brought me a malt too. They tasted so good. Teresa brought me a big rhubarb plant because she knew I wanted another one. Cindy brought me some beautiful white flowers. I've had phone calls etc. People from my ward have brought us dinner and that's been nice even though I feel guilty.
I was in the hospital til Thurs. and I came home that afternnoon after having everything taken off me such as catheter and iv's. The last two days I felt like someone had run me over with a big truck but today I'm feeling somewhat better. Just weak and sore. I go outside and sit in our rocking chair just to get outside and get some fresh air and see the beautiful yard Roger has once again prepared for us.
I"ve been blessed not to have had any complications. I'll be so glad when I can run and jump and walk for exercise. We take our good health for granted that's for sure.
Thanks again to my family and friends for their love and support. I will pay you back some day.
Love,
Me
