Hi daisie - it's lovely to hear from you. Sorry you've had a difficult time, but at least it's all over now, as you say! Don't forget to take it easy and I hope you feel better very soon and that everything will be OK. :foryou: xxx

hi jenna thank you ..i will do x daisie

The air in your tummy hurts so much, as if the op wasn't sore enough. Do take care of yourself Daisie. Delegation is key to your recovery. Next week you'll feel a bit better & the week after that a bit more, just needs time.
:hug:

thanks cubagirl..the air in the tummy is not nice my tummy looked so blown up got a bit scared realy till the surgeon came round to see me and said it was normal ,,it will go down which it is now x daisie

You should have been warned 'what if' before he tried the keyhole ::). My friend had 'enough wind to fly a kite' after hers ::)
:foryou:

hi clkd..i know they should have told me about the wind problem it is so painfull floating about in your tummy and trying to go to the loo scared me to death after 4 days of not going thank god its calmed down a bit xdaisie
-
Hi daisie - when I had a similar wind problem, the nurses gave me peppermint powder (you can buy it from a health food shop) mixed in hot water. Maybe that could help if you are still suffering with it. I also had bad pain in my shoulder, which I was told was referred pain from the gas elsewhere (just saying in case you have similar).
-
Sending you all the love in the world.xx
-
Also - your bowel will be empty 'starved from mid-night' ;) apart from the wind there is nothing to pass until at least 36 hours after eating properly plus you won't have had much exercise. Feet up!

Hello daisie.
Sending hugs and best wishes for your recovery and remember 'all things in time'.
Take care.

Daisie
I sympathise, had the worst wind pains ever 7 days after my hysterectomy , they do go away but I dreaded them starting. You will feel washed out , your body needs time to heal, Floradix is good to help build you up again . Lots of rest and lots of daytime tv, - radio 4 is better, xx
-
Hi Daisie, I agree with Jenna about the pain in the shoulder due to the gas. I had this after a gall bladder removal where I understand they also blow you up! Anyway, the shoulder pain was excruciating, but the did give me something which helped. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Try not to stand for too long daisie. Lying down is best. Sitting is not too bad. Have another look at the recovery guide I posted and do post on the hysterectomy forum if you haven't already. You will find others in the same position as you and it can really help to chat to them (as well as us of course).
Glad that it's all done now.

Hi Daisie
I've just read some of your previous posts, you've certainly been through a lot.
I'm sure you'll feel better soon, keep your feet up and I wish you a speedy recovery.
