Well, I’m having my uterus ripped from my bloody body tomorrow morning, so I’m going to be out of touch for awhile. (Nothing new, since a rotator cuff injury has kept me out of touch for awhile anyway.) I will let you know if they let me keep the organ. My hopes are not high!
Congrats! Doing away with the uterus was one of the best days of my life, and recovery was quick (no going through the abdominal wall.)
Alas, I wasn’t allowed to keep mine either, but they did let me get a look at it when I came to. I was groggy, but remember a steel tray holding what looked like a salmon-colored tube sock. It was pretty anticlimactic, but life has been vastly improved without it.
Also, they played James Brown during the surgery.
I hope for a speedy recover for you, and that they do let you keep it! It would be such an interesting conversation piece!
Good Luck! And good luck on keeping it too. Even if they say they need if for pathology, they do not need it all. A small piece would do.
I’ll be thinking good thoughts for you!
Good luck!
I do hope they let you keep it. Good luck and take care.
Good luck!!
Yup, mine is still there…
:_-{
speedy recovery!!
OH Despair!
I recall you telling us of this day…I hope your recovery will be smooth. You sure deserve it.
Back in mid-jan. I wiped out on some ice and ruined my shoulder. MRI months later shows two muscles totally detached from shoulder cuff and one side of the tendon that holds the bicep in place is ripped off as well. I FINALLY see the surgeon this monday. Our health care is long done…MIKEY.
And I cannot take pain meds….I hope you can Depair.
recover soon little dark one…lol

Comtesse,
I’m sure you’ll be fine! Get rid of that bloody uterus anyways – caused you nothing but trouble with those dermoid cysts and everything. Anways, no more periods… can’t complain, right? 😉
Get well soon! I am experiencing morbidity withdrawal.PLEASE! I beg you!
Hope you are feeling better, waiting for your next post!
May your innards not rot and you recover quickly.
