D day today

Posted , 13 users are following.

It's surgery day for me I'm leaving home shortly for admission to hospital suburethral sling and pelvic repairs however I may only have the anterior repair and wait for the second repair .🙏🏻 Lots of luck to me and I'll try to post to keep others in the same situation in the loop with what my experiences are. The weather is a bit rubbish here in Perth Australia for the next few days so it's a good time to have some rest .

    Thankyou everyone it's very uncomfortable having this vaginal pack in and the catheter. I keep feeling like I need to pass urine. Urine is concentrated so they have given me a second drip bag and are excellent keeping me topped up with pain relief I have had a 12 hour slow release pain reliever plus Panadol and then something else under the tongue , nothing is shifting my headache though😕 They did say it can happen after anaesthetic.

      Pleased to the op is over and that your pain is being well controlled 😊

      I found a dab of lavender oil on my temples and a menthol stick thing on my forehead helped with the headache.  Probably a placebo effect...

      rest well!

      Take care Geraldine. If you feel as though you want to pee when you have a catheter in it usually means it isn't in properly x

      I'm not sure yet I told him to make the decision once I was under I'll see him in just over 3 hours. It's 4:45am I requested my pack to be taken out I couldn't stand it any longer my golly it's very uncomfortable getting it out 😱

      Geraldine I found getting the pack out worse than any other pain I had, once it was out the relief was amazing. Wishing you a speedy recovery x
