I'm Back

I took these photos at the peak of summer, a few weeks ago




Hello Everyone, it's exactly one week since my surgery and I seem to be improving every day. I'm supposed to take things easy for a few more weeks, but it will be frustrating. I also have to rebuild my iron as I had 4 units of blood transfused due to blood loss. The great part is that I lost 8 pounds and am looking positively skinny. Hopefully I won't regain more than 4 of those pounds. Apparently the belly fat I thought I had was pretty much fibroid!

I missed everyone and will be catching up on your blogs asap.

    Good to hear you're on the mend. Make sure you take the full 6 weeks to fully recover. You'll be tempted to get back to normal as soon as you start feeling better, but don't. I had seven fibroids, uterus and overies removed about 7 years ago, at age 47. Best thing I've EVER done for myself! I highly recommend HRT patch to carry you through the ups and downs of life after a hysterectomy. Take care of yourself and best wishes to you!

    thanks for stopping by everyone.

    Dawn thanks for your advice. They kept my ovaries so haven't heard talk of HRT patch so far.

    Sounds like it was worth your while to have this op - you wont know yourself you skinny minny. Rest and take it easy and do lots of artwork if you get bored.
