Surgery but, not Bladder Surgery
hello everyone,
Its been a while since I have posted. I just recently recovered from having my uterus removed and let me just say i know im not 21 any more. It has been 4 weeks and i still feel like crap. I wanted to write to you all and thank you for support I was going to go in and have the bladder removed. I had posted several questions in regards to it. I had to go to a gno appt. the same day i went to my uro to set the surgery date (i was scared to death). The gyno found that my uterus was pulled and right on top of my bladder. Please keep in mind i have had cystograms where my uro says i am at 28cc. in compacity. My pain over the last several months has been horrible. my gyno sugested removing the uterus before the bladder and see if that gave me more room in there. well i thought what if that was true??? could i make it a few more years with my bladder?? he also told me if i remove my bladder the type of surgery i wanted to have. they would take my uterus for placement of the bag. (internal pouch) So i Thought about it and went in and had surgery a week later. the first night was the worst pain ever. the morphine drip did not help. the next day they tolk out my cath. i walked around and about 1 hour later i felt i had to go they helped me in and put a bowl in the toilet (sounds odd hu!) it measured my urine when i went. Can you Belive i went 5 1/2 oz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I almost jumped up and down i was so excited. 2 hours later i went in again and went 8 oz!!!!!! yep he some people dont know the luck they have. I was so excited. i have not went that much in 7 years! also i went over 2 hours without having to go!!!! since surgery it has panned down a bit. but the pain i had before surgery is gone!!! i just got my pathology report back and my uterus had a big cyst in it. i dont know if that was some of the problem or not. I dont feel completly recovered from ic i still go allot but, i can atleast hold it for 1 hour now!!! that is a big step from every 10 min. I wanted you all to know i appreciate all the nice notes i received on the bladder surgery. your thoughts and experiences really help all of us. who knows maybe my bladder has a little more room mayble i can keep it for a while and try to have some bit of a life.
take care and thank you all again
