Hello!

Well I've been given some banana medicine by the doctors instead of the huge antibiotic pills, I finally went for a poo without having to use laxatives (and there was a lot of it!) that's got the be the first time in about three years!

I'm feeling soooo much better! Still early days but I'm starting to do light duties around the house like washing up, tidying the toys away. Still on my sleeping pills but apart from that, I feel good.

Think I started my period, heavy bleeding with belly ache, also I notice if I'm stood up for too long, I get the pullin down below which frightens me.

How's everyone else doing?

Xx

    Remember to take it easy!! Rest, no lifting, bending etc. rest!! Recovery will not be instant but progressive. Rest!! Off feet!! I'm 10 weeks now from bladder prolapse and uterus removal and I'm not 100% but I'm must better. I'm doing most of the things I used to do but I won't lift heavy items, and I won't do high pact exercise. I'm cautious and I listen to my body. Want complete recovery and will do whatever it takes to get there. Blessings to you!!

    That's good news especially now you can safely take some antibiotics. Banana flavoured is usually Amoxicillin so that probably helped you to have your bowels opened as well. Remember not to overdo things though.

      Wouldn't have thought it was anything to do with your operation debra. Almost certainly the menopause

      That feeling is so very common. I would think 90% of ladies feel that post op.

      You can get some pain or discomfort. At least you know what has caused the pain because often ladies don't notice they've lost a stitch then get some discomfort and don't know why. It will settle. Don't worry.
