Home early
Though my doctor got more than he bargained for when his incision showed that my entire uterus had adhered to my abdominal wall( a sign common in those with autoimmune disorders like lupus) as well as a huge cyst had appeared on my ovary, the surgery went very well. A little more than two hours after its start I was awakening in recovery. Next thing I knew I was in a room. Though I feel like I have been beaten with a series of clubs and ball bats, I have to admit that this was not near as bad as I had expected. Many people had told me that it would be worse than a c section, which having three, I consider myself a pro at. In reality, this was not near as bad . Within hours after surgery I was setting in a chair, which impressed my doctor to the point that he suggested that I start walking at about twelve hours post surgery. Though I didn't do as perfectly as I would have liked to, I found myself way above schedule and discharged less than forty eight hours after surgery. Though this hospital was the best that I have ever been in, I still was happy to come home. As for now, I am feeling rather tired and the pain meds have kicked in so I think I will head for bed but first wanted to thank everyone for their prayers.
