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
Have a good recovery. Best wishes!

My wife had the same procedure for the same reason a few years back. Hope the healing goes fast!
Two questions. Was the procedure laparoscopic? Also, what's your favorite dinosaur?
It was laparoscopic. And my favorite dinosaur has to be archaeopteryx.

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.
Does the tramadol make you itchy? I take it for a shoulder injury and it's driving me crazy! I have some astepro nasal spray that's disgusting and didn't help at all. Tried it topically and think it might have helped a bit. Benadryl topical definitely made it a little less irritating.

What's your username about?

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.
Does keeping the ovaries mean no hormone replacement?

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
You remember your dreams? What a weirdo.🤪

I definitely dwell on my physical appearance more than I should. I have a bit of a belly. I'm slowly losing weight and getting noticably slimmer and stronger, but I can't really vent about how I still hate how I look to my friends/family because I'm either smaller than them and/or losing weight faster than they are and venting about it comes off the wrong way because they seem to get a bit jealous. Turns the vibe to shambles
I'm sorry that you feel that way both about your body and how you can express yourself. Bodies are so tough... I love the things I've done and chosen to experience with my body, but I don't like how my body looks as a result.
On the topic of losing weight, I heard you lost a few pounds this week! Congratulations!
Thank you for sharing your feelings like that, I appreciate how candid your reply was.

Go see the horse I have pretty much adopted and give her so much attention. Being away from her sucks. I get to go visit on the 20th because my mom will be helping me deliver a supplement for her since I can't do any lifting, but I'm not allowed to do anything with the old girl. My friends who know the horse say she's been kinda down since I stopped coming around and that has me bummed. Hopefully she'll perk up when I visit. Gonna bring her an apple. She loves those
I just realized it had been a few days since I'd seen any Sandy pics. Hope you recover quickly!

Is that not normal? I remember the vast majority of my dreams.

What are your thoughts on the Hobie Mirage kayak and their MirageDrive system?

Most people don't remember their dreams from what I've read. They remember having a dream when they wake up but the details are blurry and fade quickly by the time they're getting ready for the day.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Oh hey! Congratulations on yeeting the uterus! Had mine out through my C-section scar, so hopefully your recovery will be quicker. And when it's over, you'll be able to wear white pants any time you want, and have pretty sheets!

Do you weigh less now? I've always been curious about that when someone gets a surgery that has a part of them removed. Because they must weigh you before and after right?

Oh fuck that's so hard. Like, I think memes are the best thing ever unironically because they transcend so many barriers of communication, but I can't choose just one as my fave. Tho dat boi lives fondly in my heart.
Wow, I legit almost forgot about dat boi

Would you be a good person if you had the power to do whatever you wanted?

Not OP (hopefully she's getting some sleep) but yes.
