Surgery is scheduled...
27
Tue, 08-26-2008 - 6:41pm
I am scheduled for a hysterectomy on September 17.  Earlier was not possible due to Labor Day and many needed personnel are out of town the next couple of weeks, like the assistant surgeon, etc.   It will be the abdominal hysterectomy, so the 4th cut for me in the same place (bikini cut).  My Gynecologist says probably a lot of my pain is coming from my scar tissue from previous surgeries, so she will remove all of that.  She also thinks there is scar tissue adhered to my bowels, that part is a little scary, but I trust her not to perforate my bowels.  Of course my tumors (there are 2 of them, not one) will be bopsied but hopefully they will find no cancer. I am Looking forward to getting this all behind me... By Thanksgiving I will feel like a new person!!

I wrote it on my calendar.


I hope the surgeon doesnt use staples.They dont move with you.Me an a pillow against my abdomen helped when your gonna cough,an get up from the couch or bed.I bet you already know about that.Doesnt hurt to be reminded.


I also have adheasions attched to my bowels.Actually my liver is covered white.My entie right side is covered with them now.So I dont walk much.

Sorry to hear that you have so much scar tissue also, it is very painful.

Gabby, I hope this all goes so smoothly for you and that you really notice a positive difference afterwards. It sounds like your doctor is going to take care of a lot of things that will end up making you a lot more comfortable. Good luck with it.
