Hello ALL:
I had adhesion removal surgery yesterday by my long time ob/gyn. I
really wanted a laparotomy because I felt she would be able to see every
nook and cranny but she ended up doing an open laparoscopy. I have a
belly button incision and an incision on my left side.
I am told my abdominal wall was one long adhesion. I also had adhesions
that went into my vagina. This confuses me since I have had a
hysterectomy and I have a cul-de-sac. Does anyone know how they could
be attached to my vagina?
Right now I feel like I've been run over by a mack truck! I can't cough
or clear my throat like I want to. My friend is bringing me over her
abdominal belt to help give me support. I love those things!
I feel like becasue I had a laparoscopy vs a laparotomy that maybe my
adhesiosn weren't so bad? Does the type of surgery matter? I do have to
say that my doctor said it wasn't the worst case she has ever seen but
the second worse case. I guess I just need validation.
I'm ready to go on to a new life. I want to exercise, I want to spend
time with my boys and my hubby. I want to contribute to my family. I
want to be a massge therapist.
Any tricks for helping my recovery over the next few days?
I am so glad to be on a board where people undersntand me and what I am
going through.
Cindy
