Update from Post Op Day 2 -3-4. DAY 2 - too sore to sit comfortably. Ate standing at the kitchen counter. Bowels started to move, slowly but not too painful. Thank goodness for the stool softener. Took a couple short walks down the hall. Stings less when I pee. Still spotting. Whole body feels tight from carefully lowering myself on the toilet, into a chair or bed. Warm shower at bedtime helped. Maintaining the schedule with pain meds. DAY 3 - bad day!!! Got up dizzy, clammy, weak. Abdominal pain that wasn't there the day before. Got pain meds (and food) in me and went back to bed. Inflammatory response usually peaks on the 3rd day, so not totally unexpected. No fever, BP was fine. It eased as the day went on. Several naps. Still tough to sit comfortably but stinging was much better. DAY 4 (today) - sitting is better! Can sit down without carefully lowering myself into the seat. Still spotting. Bowels are moving and will back off on one of the meds for that. Just a teeny bit of tummy upset. Sat outside on the porch for fresh air and sunshine. Washed my hair and got dressed in loose, comfortable clothes today. Took a little longer walk. Getting better each day. To clarify for those who are comparing to their own experience, my surgeon is a uro-gynecologist. Same day surgery. No antibiotics after the surgery (only IV during). Just taking it slow. Permission to be a lazy person.
