new update #36: Finally doing better!

[Taz_Zoee]

I am so sorry you are in so much pain. You will be in my thoughts.

Kirsten, you are in our prayers. Please try not to make any decisions when you are in severe pain and not thinking clearly - what if the pain has nothing to do wit the remaining ovary and your uterus? I'd recommend seeing a pain specialist at this point, to see if there's any way to let you experience less pain.

Do let us know what the doctors say tomorrow. A friend had one ovary out, but not the other, when she had a hysterectomy. I asked "Why didn't they take the other ovary" and she said "Because then my risk of breast cancer would skyrocket." So be sure to ask plenty of questions, and get second opinions before any more surgery, okay?

You will be in our prayers.

I have to agree with Karen above. You are still recovering and I am hoping that your pain is going to get better. After my Missy's last c-section - the incision was very slow to heal and bothered her very much for many weeks. I bet you are still healing and will feel a little better each day.

Glad to see you posting!! ((((Kirsten))))

Kirsten, I am so sorry to hear that you are still in such pain! I pray that things get better for you soon and your doctor can figure everything out that needs to be done!

Kirsten, I hope your situation improves so that you may have peace for a change! You need all the rest you can get. I wonder if they have been giving you the correct pain medication. Pain management can be so tricky.

I don't know about the kind of problems you are having but do know that any health problem can set one back many steps. Time will heal you. Maybe Mom could spend some time with you? Are there visiting nurses in your country? I hope you have good neighbors and friends. Sometimes one needs to ask for assistance, as difficult it is for those of us who are independent and living alone.

You are on all our minds and in our most positive thoughts.

Hang in there dear one. Keep that chin up. Sleep is good for you, so ask your doctor for some really good drugs to get you through the tough times, like NOW!

Keep us posted Kirsten.

Prayers going out that you have less pain as you heal. It did take weeks before I wasn't sore after my hyst. (total abdominal), but nothing like the kind of pain you describe. I hope your doctors can help you. It's possible they hit a nerve and it's extra painful til it heals. My nurse-friend said that abdominal surgery takes a long time to heal because they have to go through so many layers of tissue. At least they were able to catch the tumors before they were malignant, and that is a blessing.
