Week 7 after TAH
Posted , 4 users are following.
Here I am a week before my son's wedding feeling so good. I am so grateful that I bounced back so quickly and didn't have all the problems I thought I would. The only negative is when I've done to much standing or walking my tummy swells up and is so tender to touch. Took a two hour car drive had to use my pillow for that but been driving since week 6 just couldn't do it before then. For me I think the reason is basically I didn't have all the fibroids they said I had in fact I had little lesions instead of the 8 smaller ones they said I had. My ovaries were fine but they never said they weren't. I am still not picking up anything heavy just because of the wedding. If I pick anything up it only gets carried a short way. Anything I pick up from the floor I bend my knees. Drinking 2 liters of water a day is still key for me. I walk everyday and am doing all household chores except for vacuuming. For some reason that and moping bother my tummy to much so going to leave it another week. I have also noticed that when in the car rather driving or not and rather I have just peed or not 5 mins. down the road I must pee. I have been doing my kegel exercies so not sure what that is about unless I didn't use my pillow enough at the beginning. The best part I bought my first pair of longed for white jeans.

I am at 3.5 weeks post TVH and feeling great. I am walking 5.5 miles a day, driving short distances and doing everything apart from lifting. I spent 2 nights in hospital and was glad to get home. My son stayed one night with me and other than that I was on my own.
I really tried to get my fitness levels up before I went in and I am sure that this is key to my recover.
So glad I decided to go ahead with the op as I was dead against it before.
Onwards and upwards!!
