Re: post myo one day report (long)!

[Guest guest]

Hi Sue,

I went off of the liquid diet today. I had cream of wheat for breakfast in the

hospital. They actually brought me coffee which I think is strange since I

believe the caffeine can conribute to fibroids so I had herbal mint tea instead.

I did have some pain especially when trying to stand or sit up but had the

morphine pump until last night another drug that was called torphol (or

something like that). Another thing I noticed was yesterday at the hospital I

had a room full of visitors and didn't want to get up and go to the bathroom and

I let my bladder get too full and then it was alot harder to stand up since the

full bladder was probably pressing on my stitches....very painful! I left the

hospital after breakfast and was give a prescription of vicuprofin by my doc. I

walked up stairs with a pillow against my abdomen and actually feel really good.

My tummy feels swollen but I feel better already knowing the fibroids are gone.

It feels good to have the operation behind me and I was really struggling with

wanting to treat the fibroids naturally but was too exhausted/anemic and

uncomfortable due to pressure on my bladder so I now feel like I need to take

complete responsibility for my nutritional and attitudinial/stress, etc. that

could contribute to regrowth.

I am going to try to take it easy for the next couple of weeks and just

concentrate on healing.

Feel free to ask anymore questions if I can help!

I had read on one of the myo reports that doing this may help with pain after

surgery since the nerves that are cut during the incision have " memory " and that

a local there may lessen pain and could help with healing. I talked to my docs

about it and they did it. I was in a fair amount (the morphine pump in the

hospital worked really well though) of pain but just had my abdom myo Wed and I

did not feel the need for pain pills yet today. I am moving around, walking but

being careful not to do too much. I still have to be careful to use my arm and

leg muscles when getting up or sitting/lying down.

however difficult it is, it's important to try to get up and walk

around during your recovery. It will really help you.

Try to plan short walking routines several times a day. I remember I

just paced around the house for a minute or 2 at a time.
