Finally...
Posted , 4 users are following.
Got the hospital letter I've been waiting for, I'm being admitted on 9th June for possible ovary/cyst removal / hysterectomy. So glad to finally have a date but now I'm onto the next stage of worrying lol, feeling a bit crampy tonight
Any advice on what to pack in my hospital bag and/or recovery tips would be gratefully received 😊

Having been through surgery twice now, I've found eating lightly 2-3 days beforehand is very helpful. Â Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate in the days prior too. Â and, most importantly, check with your doctor about a stool softener. Â I took one for two days prior to surgery and resumed as soon as I started eating again. Â It took a few days for things to work again, but it didn't hurt to "go" after surgery. Â Not fun to talk about, but with a tender incision, the last thing you need is straining over a toilet!

I have to admit I can't decide between wearing pajamas or a night dress, I would normally be comfier in pj's but obviously don't want the waist band to irritate my wound(s).
Hopefully this time next week I will have had the op eeeeek 🙈 xx
