So... Yeah it's been rough. I'm at 3 weeks out of surgery, Had my post op: things are pretty good, but I still have some internal bleeding. If it doesn't stop, they'll have to cauterize something. Walking is good, cleaning house is bad. Rest is good. Take things slow.
I've been inpatient the last 5 days (oh the joy), where I couldn't SH from the hysterectomy pain reminding me of a past long buried.
I'm glad to be home but desperately wish someone could help me with everything; meals, shopping, cleaning, laundry. I'm wearing my last clean garment. My mom and my friend both have the flu. I shopped today and could have cried. But I did some good care steps- simple. Like going to a regular check out instead of a self check out like I usually do, walking the cart to the car instead of carrying all the bags.
I tried to take a nap when I got home but kept being interrupted. I had a chocolate pudding and allowed the tears.
Usually I'm a night owl, but since surgery I'm desperately tired by 9pm and awake by six am. I have small moments of wanting to do things, then I'm exhausted.
Now I'm in my most comfortable loose dress and softest robe with a hot pack on my back.
I think I'll make some coffee and read my book.
Much love and caring to everyone here!!!
