I had a hysterectomy on Thursday and recovery is boring and painful. Do y'all have any questions for me?
-
It can be about literally anything idgaf I just need something to focus on other than my aching pelvic muscles.
Edit: thank y'all for all the replies! I'm gonna get back to as many as I can over time! I've been napping a lot the past day and have been ignoring a lot of phone notifications lol
I think the question everyone is asking themselves is whether you want your inverted penis covered by health insurance?

What's a hysterectomy?

What's a hysterectomy?
A surgical procedure to remove the uterus and ovaries, basically. A major surgery

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.

What'd you have for dinner?
A really shitty pot pie lol

How are you? Are you okay?
I'm doing pretty okay right now. I got some decent sleep which helped

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.

Oh fuck that's hard but one thing definitely sticks out. When I was young, every night it seemed, before my dreams started, I would float out of my bedroom window in a ray of light, still covered by my blankets. When the dreams ended, I floated back into my bed and then woke up.
My theory is that my dreams were heavily influenced by watching the x-files with my mom, or I was one of those regularly abducted backwoods Appalachia folks you hear about on the History channel at 3 pm on a Tuesday
Capt. Nemo level shit there!

I kept my ovaries. I'm keeping an eye on stuff but my Dr doesn't think I'll need her since the ovaries are in perfect health.
-
No, but I got pics of my uterus while it was still inside of me. I wanted pics of it in the surgeon's hand for size reference but that wasn't allowed.
That's pretty cool. I've been watching The Knick and I imagined some bloody scene with a hand and tools.

That's good news! Hopefully you have a speedy recovery and are back visiting Sandy soon
