..and since my husband gets to hear me all the time, plus it wouldn't look very good if I were to have a conversation with myself even though I am known for that very thing, I chose to come here to sound off a bit.
Earlier today I posted but I was interrupted before I even got started so I am back again tonight. I guess you could say that I have had a bit of cabin fever the last few days even though I have gotten out of the house some. Don't get me wrong, I have thoroughly enjoyed being at home after working at the hospital all of the time for the past three months, but when one goes from busy, busy, busy to can't do nothin' it doesn't take long for the "I need to get out of here" to kick in.
Oh yeah...before I get started I wanted to answer a question from Lightning Bug's Butt..in my earlier post I had said that Mr. B was taking me to lunch so LBB asked...."Adonde van para almorzar"? To be honest with you we didn't go anywhere fancy or anything. We hit a local grill that serves the best grilled burgers I have ever tasted and I hadn't had one in a while so we went there, I wanted a burger but I am not much for a fast food burger so I chose to go to the grill.
I tried driving today, my Dr. had told me not to try it for at least fourteen days after my surgery and then only when I felt comfortable. I stayed behind the wheel for about ten minutes then I was done for so when we stopped by the bank Mr. B had to take over. I think that is the most aggravating part about this whole surgery deal for me...the recovery time and what I can and can't do. You would honestly think that since I have no external incisions on my body that things would be going great and I would be back to normal but that isn't the case. I am lucky enough to know several women that have had the same surgery done and they say it takes a while before you can go back to normal. I had surgery sixteen days ago and it is still uncomfortable for me to sit on the couch or recliner for more than thirty minutes or so at a time, when I get uncomfortable I either have to lay down or get up and walk a bit.
The good thing about the recovery time is that I have had time to read again. Reading is probably one of my favorite things to do and since starting at the hospital I haven't had time to really sit down and read a book. I had Mr. B take me by the book store today so I could purchase some more books because I have read all of the ones at home. My favorite author, Nora Roberts, just had a new book to hit the shelves and I had forgot that it was coming out this past Tuesday but as luck would have it I was at Wal*Mart picking up a couple of items for supper and anytime I go into Wally World I go to the books so I saw the book, bought it and I can't wait for the second one to come out.
As most of you ladies know, the hysterectomy that I had done was a complete one which means that they took everything and with my being only 32 I had to go on hormone replacement pills. Well..that is going good, I am not having the emotional roller coaster that some women have with them at first and thus far the only thing I have noticed is that I am having more hot flashes or as I like to call them "power surges" . I spent Tuesday morning laying on the couch because every time I got up to move around the room was going round and round on me. I can go from freezing to wanting to take an ice cold shower in about 1.2 seconds, other than that things are great. Thankfully I am not experiencing the "I need to cry" emotion nor am I experiencing the "I want to hurt someone" emotion at odd times and for no reason, those things took place before surgery. I have noticed that I am more calm about things in the last two weeks so the hormone replacement pills must be working.
Can ya tell I am bored because of all the babbling?
As I said in my earlier post, I tried to get around to most of your blogs today to read and comment, I made it to most but there were some I missed so I will catch ya tomorrow.
I guess I need to sign off and head for bed since my eyelids are getting extremely heavy on me, I think I have bored myself to sleepiness!
Y'all take care, have a great weekend!

well i am glad the hormones aren't making your crazy even if they cause the internal temperature to be a bit wacky. you just keep resting up so you heal properly. incision or no, having your innards filched with is a big deal.
It is tough to do but please sweetie, follow the Dr’s orders and put caution into that. Listen to your body. Recovery is not a race. Good to hear the med are working good. Have a super weekend!
That was the best thing I have read all week! Thank you hun.
Hard to be patient, isn't it? I'm glad you're listening to your body though and resting even when you don't want to or are bored with it. You'll get there.
take it easy on yourself! relax and go slow.
Thanks, Breezy.
There's a sandwich shop near my home that makes the best burgers. In fact, I make a habit of picking up a 1/2 lb. pizza burger, served on a garlic roll, with a bag of fries. Once a week or so.
Hang in there with the hystero recovery.
Im glad you have this way to get a bit of chatting done, its a good thing, eh?
The hormone roller coaster is quite a ride, glad you are handling it pretty well.
Wish the rest of the recovery were going better for you but as you know, you definitely have to listen to what your body is saying and take it easy.
Hugs, girly!
I hope you are getting plenty of rest and that all is well in your world!
Well wishes. Hope you are doing better! XO
Hope you are continuing to do well and I will keep you in my prayers.
