I had a hysterectomy on Thursday and recovery is boring and painful. Do y'all have any questions for me?

It was done laparoscopic. 4 small incisions in my abdomen. I was given tramadol, 600 mg ibuprofen, and told to switch between the ibuprofen and OTC Tylenol every 6 hours and take the tramadol as needed. The ibuprofen has been working well, but the Tylenol doesn't really help so I take 1/2 a tramadol if I can't handle the pain before I am due to switch to ibuprofen.
When I got my tubes removed, they gave me a tramadol after the surgery but just a prescription for ibuprofen. The ibuprofen seemed to help fine as long as I took it about every 5 hours. The worst part for me was getting up, whether out of bed or out of a chair. I had three incisions, one on each side of my abdomen and then through the belly button. I think it took me about 3 days to not have so much trouble getting out of bed. I wish you a fast recovery!

Not OP (hopefully she's getting some sleep) but yes.
Kickass. Sounds like a good deal overall, aside from recovery of course.

I think the question everyone is asking themselves is whether you want your inverted penis covered by health insurance?

Male here, how many minutes do you think I could last with endometriosis before keeling over dead? For reference I got kicked in the balls once and it hurt. Oh and one time I had a tummy ache and it hurt.
-
I had recurring endometriosis and my doctor and I decided to just get rid of everything except my ovaries to prevent future surgeries. I don't want kids and I'm gay, so I don't need a uterus anyway. I've only wanted this for 12 years, but it took a long time to find a doc willing to even consider it.
Hopefully that gives you some relief.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
Do you prefer a big house or a small house?
Do you believe in ghosts? Why or why not?

No questions, but a suggestion: take your pain meds before it starts hurting. I’ve had some surgery in the past and waiting until it hurts is too late. Yeah, the “cabin fever” sucks, and wait until you have to put a seatbelt on!
Good luck, hope you have a speedy recovery!

Flight.
Small.
And yes. I've seen loads of unexplainable spooky shit

Common side effect for tramadol, or any opioid agonist. Idk why, but the itch seems to effect the nose especially - drives some patients crazy.
The real danger is when you're stuck on the toilet dying, completely unable to go to the bathroom

I've been doing a half decent job of staying on top of the pain. My injuries are gonna hurt no matter what because I wasn't given anything crazy for it.

Uhhh.... Prolly a few days but it'd suck. Idk if you've ever had a kidney stone, but the pain levels are worse than that.

A really shitty pot pie lol

How did the hysterectomy patient feel about her surgery? She said it was a “womb-derful” experience!

Hooray for yeeting the ute! Did you keep your ovaries, and either way, are you going to start HRT to stave off early menopause? From what I understand, in a hysterectomy the blood flow to the ovaries can get disrupted and they might not function as well, so you start meno earlier than you otherwise would've.
