Guest guest Posted May 22, 2002 Report Share Posted May 22, 2002 Jill Hi! Just wanted to say I'm so glad that your op all went well - it sounds as though you are doing brilliantly. What a relief to know the septum has now gone. With best wishes for a really speedy recovery Tor SU, 34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, I filled a pad with pink blood the day of lap/hyst surgery and after that it was almost negligible. Since you have something left behind in your uterus, you can expect to bleed much more than without; I found that out after my hyst-only metroplasty, when the surgeon left a dissolvable adhesion barrier inside. It took four days to expell it, and I bled and cramped as if I had a light period until expulsion happened. Then blood and cramping shut off like a light bulb. Glad you found this easy! I'm not sure I would have liked having a uterine catheter, but you seem to be handling it with aplomb. Beth SU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't walk very fast, or the movement of my right leg (where it's taped) pulls it around in my vagina which feels very disgusting. But, I am glad to be fairly well assured of not getting adhesions, and one week of discomfort seems a small price to pay. I'm also thankful not to have had the lap. I know the recovery is worse.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2002 Report Share Posted May 22, 2002 Hi Penni, My doc told me how. At the bottom of the tube, where it's taped to my thigh, the tube splits into 2. One side has a big plastic plug in it. The other side has a white ring that reads " lubricath. Inflate with 10 ml " They told me to de-tape the tube from my thigh, then take scissors and cut the side with the white ring. Water will drain out of the tube. When all the water is drained out, then I am to " tug gently but firmly " until I tug the deflated balloon out of my uterus, thru the cervix and out of my vagina. If I cannot get it out, I'm supposed to call them. I know, sounds pretty nasty. But, I'll be doing the happy dance of joy while cutting my tube.

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2002 Report Share Posted May 29, 2002 Congrats to Kim and good luck with the program!!! ~ Weir Mom to Kennedy, 4yr old CHARGEr, 12, 11, and wife to Graeme New Brunswick, Canada Visit the Weir Website: http://personal.nbnet.nb.ca/gweir ICQ# 1426476 update Hi all! Haven't posted in some time, needed a break, but try to read the post on a regular basis. Have seen all of the recent photos and their all beautiful! Great news! We have a vocational service center, Tommy Nobis Center, which is doing a youth program for the summer. Out of the 15 openings given to our county Kim was choosen, one of two, from her high school to attend the center. She will learn more work skills, attend 2 classes and will even get paid minimum wages. She is really excited about it. She had to go to an interview and answer questions and sign all of the paper work. Even though I was sitting right beside her I had to turn my head as I wanted to answer for her and she was looking at me for answers. The interviewer looked at me and said " mom she can do this " . My baby is growing up. It brought tears to my eyes as I thought I would never see this day and it has come so quickly. Its been an eye opener for me. The para transit in our city won't pick her up because we live 3/4 of a mile from the bus route. They did say I could drop her off at a stop which is located at a busy intersection and if it rained she could go to the church for cover. I don't think so. I've had to rearrange my work schedule and going to have to rely on friends to pick her up in the afternoons. I now realize that without this opportunity I would not be able to work during the summer as she is now too old for the camp that I work with. She's only 16. I have a feeling it will get more difficult as she gets older. People just don't get it. Alot of her friends who are 17 and 18 don't have alot available to them. It makes me want to start some kind of program for kids with disabilities I just don't know where to start or how to get the funding. Sorry this is so long. I'm just so proud of Kim and it is so hard to cut the cord. Everyone take care! Lydia mom to chrgr Kim 16, Alia 16, 18, and 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Way to go Kim, A program would be great I hope you are able to start one. I am hoping to start a daycare for special needs children sometime in the next couple of years. I do not think there is one around here just for special needs children and I think it would be a great help to many parents. mom to 8years. update Hi all!
