Went to the specialist on Thursday but before I saw him had to go to a clinic and have a few other tests that involved having cathedars being put in to check out the strength of my bladder and muscles involved in that department. Not very pleasant couple of hours I can assure you. Then it was on to specialist, some ultra sounds , some more pokes and prods....and the end result is, I do not need a hysterectomy but I am having a operation on the 12th March to repair prolapse, having my bladder stretched (apparently it doesn't release as it should) and a few other 'scopies done as well.
Just glad all the tests were done, it wasn't a very pleasant day, it was all very invasive and my stomache cramped most of Thursday night requiring me to have a ultrasound on Friday morning to make sure no damage had been done by cathedars. If boss hadn't of rang up Thursday evening to say I wasn't required to work Friday he would have received a phone call Friday morning to say I was unable to work.....
All paper work has now been filled in, I am booked in and waiting.
Been a very quiet weekend, no kids, no grandies, just me and hubby. Just been pottering around, reading, playing pc and just doing nothing.....
No weigh in this week, going in next Monday the 28th. Have had a great week, started my new journal up and have tracked everything that has gone into my mouth, stuck 100% to my points and even calculated and weighed anything I was unsure of. Excersise has been terrific, have done more interval training, trying to jog more with my walking and changing my walk routes so I have more variety.....so next weigh hopefully will show a loss !!
Doesn't sound like very much fun at all and I'm sure you're glad it's over. But good news that you don't need a hysterectomy. Just relax and enjoy the rest of your weekend. Love Z xx

I bet you are glad that all the test are done and out of the way, now it's just the short wait and soon you will be like a new woman.
ReplyDeleteHang in there Jen!
Hi Jen!!! It's meeee!!! I haven't been in hiding, really. Just had to have another operation on my foot and haven't been able to spend much time on the computer.
ReplyDeleteYou sound like you've been in the wars!!! I had to have a prolapse repair a couple of years ago. When the surgeon gave me the alternatives, one of which was inserting something that looked like a giant curtain rail, I opted for the middle option. All went well and I had a really great rest. Sometimes not being able to do anything is absolutely fanastic.
Will catch you soon, when I can spend more time sitting in here. (There's nowhere to rest my foot.)
Nickers & bra HeHe!! that a girl...Take every opportunity to cool down....I would too...Sorry to hear you need an op soon..
ReplyDeleteStart practicing your pelvic floor exercises now my friend...Hugs cj xx
