It sounds like you are doing really well, Karen. I didn't have a hysterectomy but I did have right ovary, ovarian tumor, appendix and large tumor on appendix taken out in December. It was supposed to be done laprascopically, but they had to make the one incision bigger to get out the tumor on the appendix. Luckily I was ok in the bm department as soon as I started eating. I didn't eat for a couple of days since I was very sick from the anesthesia. Make sure you are drinking plenty of fluids. I also did not take any pain medication because that causes constipation. Truthfully, when your body is ready to eliminate, you will go. And yes, my tummy was lumpy...good description! Hmm...I thought my right side ached because of the appendectomy but I guess it was from the right ovary coming out too.
Being sleepy is very normal too. Make sure you rest when you feel the tiredness coming on. Actually you should stop and rest before you get tired. Hope you get another good night's sleep tonight to make up for not napping this afternoon with all the banging going on.
