Surgery day.

[Karen]

Our prayers are with you!

[Randi]

Kim, it's probably over now, but I hope your surgerey went well, and you can relax and get spoiled.

All the best for a speedy recovery!

Kim, I just went through the same thing in Jan. It was for the most part pretty easy. The worst was the pain from the gas they used to inflate my belly settled in my right side and shoulder for about 3 days. It really hurt to laugh, cough or sneeze so big tip - don't watch any comedies for a few days and don't let anyone tell you a funny joke. I was brought to tears by my brother from the pain of laughing at his joke.

I wish you the best of luck. Take it easy like the doctors say and let yourself recover (NO PICKING UP THE BABY! for at least a week).

[krazyaboutkatz]

Kim, I'll be keeping you in my thoughts today. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way.

[gini]

Sending you prayers and good thoughts that all will go well and that it is not serious enough to require surgery.

Well, I'm back and just woke from a nice long nap with Miss Nicki and Abby... purr therapy is definately a good thing

I was stunned when I woke up -- I had no idea where I was or what had happened. It tok a few minutes before I realized what was going on then I forced myself fully awake thinking the sooner they know I'm awake the sooner they'll send me home. I was amazed at how much I just wanted to get out of there and get home to my own bed. I nearly cried when I noticed Heather was slowing down to stop at a yellow light so I told her to just run the light (I wanted to get home!) She told me, "I am being a good driver and won't run the light, especially in this rain" then she added, "thats a big decision to run a light and the doctor sad you can't make decisions for 24 hours" LOLOLOLOL

I slept for a good 2 hours and now feel like I have one awful case of the flu. Except the flu with a strangely sore belly button.

I took my prescription Advil just now (I didn't need it when I left -- yay me! I'm such a wimp with pain, so I'm impressed I didn't feel I needed the meds!) and I have a nice hot bowl of chicken Rice soup. With this rain and now the soup, I really DO feel like its flu season and I'm simply sick.

Thanks for the prayers everyone, I do think they worked! {{{HUGS}}}

I just logged back in to see if you had posted and so glad to see this.

Heather is such a sweetheart and kitties make terrific bed companions. Rest up

[Lizzie]

It sounds like Heather really enjoyed the responsibility and did a very good job of taking care of you. I'm glad that part is over and you came out of it okay - even though you will feel rotten for a few days. Let your family fuss over you, and the cats lie all over you, and enjoy that part.

[Kater]

Then she added, "thats a big decision to run a light and the doctor sad you can't make decisions for 24 hours" LOLOLOLOL

Hehe, this made me giggle.

Sending prayers and good thoughts!

Hee, hee - me too! Good for Heather!

Glad you are getting plenty of purr therapy!

[catnapper]

Owie.... now the real pain has kicked in.

I still feel like I have the flu but now my whole stomach hurts like someone punched me hard. I lose my breath every time I move. I am starving but can't keep solids down.... though Heather has bought me ice cream and now water ice

I have a personal "thing" about anyone/thing touching my belly button. It drives me nuts, so guess what they did today? Surgery through the belly button. I'm utterly miserable and am heading back to the bed I just emerged from.

[jazzcat]

Hang in there Kim. It will be sore for a few days, just make sure you take it easy and don't lift anything heavy. I did find that walking helped the pain and woosey feeling for me. I started walking in my neighborhood on day 3 and it helped. Once you get the anethesia out of your system you'll probably feel much better.

My bellly button wasn't the place that hurt on me, it was the other incision that drove me crazy. It still itches like crazy and it's been almost 8 months.

I was just going to reply with the same thing, Kim. You'll feel better once the anethesia wears off. that stuff is nasty. I always, always get physically sick afterwards. Try ginger ale and toast with jelly if you're starving, but eat light. Yep, I hurt like crazy too, especially getting up and down and bending. But it won't last long. I promise. No stitches need to be removed..good news. The other incision wasn't as bad for me, but it was itchy. What women go through.
[COLOR=Indigo]I almost needed a hysterectomy, but because my tubes were open, the doctor decided against it. Believe me, I had it for years and never knew it, but kept passing out from the pain. I was put on BC pills and found an immediate improvement. The other options were monthly shots to stop your period and I forget what else. My doctor decided against laser surgery too because I had endo on all my internal organs by that time and it would have taken days. Please make sure, if you take the injection suggestion, that you weigh the side effects, like extreme weight gain, I did OK on a minimal BC pill. I was a new person. Believe me, I had a personal party when the "spigots" were turned off for good 4 years ago!
If you want to chit chat..PM me with your # and I'll call you..
Sleep well, kiddo.
