DAY THREE AFTER HYSTERECTOMY and I am feeling better with less pain when sitting down and getting up. Doing fine when simply sitting in my recliner with my feet raised up and knees bent. Just like old times. PRAISE THE LORD. I have slept quite a bit and I am willing to nap when needed.
The house is quiet and I need it to be. Hubby is fixing my meals, doing dishes and getting what I need like lemon water to sip. I'm tireder than when I had c o v I d last July 2022. My birthday month has been an eye opener the last three years. Favorite cousin passed away from horrific car accident in 2021. In 2022, c o v I d. Now in 2023, uterine cancer and hysterectomy.
I just got finished with taking a short walk from the back porch to the Carriage house four times. Figured I walked a little over 240 steps tonight. I walked 180 earlier in the day. Tomorrow I will walk three times during the day. Hopefully.
No difficulties using the toilet and my bowels moved. That was what I was wanting. Now, to keep up the good work.
I read over the surgical notes today. This was considered a difficult surgery because of the extra large uterus with a multitude of fibroids. 20 cm uterus. I can already tell that I am not coughing as much in the mornings upon waking up like I was before surgery. Emptying my bladder is easier and the back pain is less. hum.
In a few days, I should know if the cancer had spread or was contained. According to the notes, the ovaries and Fallopian tubes looked good. Usually this type of cancer spreads to the Fallopian tubes and ovaries first. Doing my best to wait this one out. Waiting is difficult.
If the cancer did spread, I will do chemo and radiation. Hoping it was contained. One of the fibroids I had was rare and only less than 1% gets this type. hum.
I slept so much of the day and needed to.
Last night I watched the 2023 movie, PAINT. Wouldn't suggest watching it to anyone. Supposedly a comedy. A waste.
Can't seem to get into the movies. Think this Friday, I will take it easy and soak in the quiet.
