I had a hysterectomy on Monday (5/3) and am really struggling with not feeling well, a lot of pain, and just generally cruddy. I know it will take awhile to get my previous energy back, but I really feel blindsided by the pain...the narcotics they gave me to take have awful side effects so am trying to get by on advil and tylenol. Please pray that this will pass quickly. I am feeling very discouraged. Thanks! Renee

Hmm, I'm not sure what's going on. I posted a reply to your request a few days ago, but it doesn't show. Please know, Renee, that I am, and have been, praying for you, both for healing and for deliverance from discouragement. -Dennis

Well, all that pain turned out to be caused by a very large blood clot, over 6" in dia that had filled my abdomen! Back to surgery I went! Have been out of hosp 2 days and I must say, I feel better than I ever did after the 1st surgery. Pain level much more manageable, not near as many problems overall. Thank you Lord!

Oh my goodness Renee! I'm glad your medical team found it and successfully took care of it! I trust your recovery is going well. Take care, my friend.

Thanks for the encouragement, Dennis! I am feeling a little better each day, but no energy at all and it is easy to overdo. Haven't been to church yet since I pretty much stay in my pj's all day still, but hoping to go this Sunday. Today I am going to get dressed and drive to the store (also a first!) trying to get back on some kind of routine. I feel like I missed the entire month of May!

Well, on week 5, I finally am starting to feel like my old self! Started exercising again, lost part of the 4 lbs I gained while I was down. Still get tired sometimes but am finding my joy is back. Yay! Thanks for the prayer! God is good!

Thought I'd check in, see what's going on. How is your continued recovery going?

Hi Dennis! Thanks for checking on me! I have more energy these days than I know what to do with! Except for a little hormonal imbalance that I am working on, I feel great. Hanging out a lot with my grandson...swimming...writing...going to lunch with friends...I am seriously going to have to go back to work one of these days, but I am having so much fun this summer, I'm really not pushing the job hunt too hard! LOL! My weight has settled in at about 5 lbs above what I wanted, but with all the exercise and eating normally I am not gaining or losing anything and my clothes fit good, so I'm staying with it. What's going on with you these days? Or should we start a new thread for that? Hope all is well... Renee

Let's start a new thread. We'll call it, "New Thread."
