Pissy Posting: I Love Being A Girl

Image via Wikipedia

I'm still here. Really. Just too pissy to post anything other than rants about the GOP, which are a dime a dozen right now, or talk about my uterus, which seems to have developed a penchant for bleeding more often than I can tolerate.

The GOP issues cause me to lay awake nights. The uterus crap makes me cranky and gloomy, mostly due to hormones, I'm guessing. I'd like to just blame the whole damn thing on Sarah Palin. Seems reasonable.

Hopefully, both issues will see resolution in the coming months--the GOP problem in November and my uterus in December.

If anyone out there  has had a Laparoscopic Supracervical Hysterectomy (LSH), leave me a comment with your feedback on the procedure. How was your recovery? Would you choose this approach if you had it to do over? What made you chose this route over Total Vaginal Hysterectomy (TVH)? I'm certainly leaning toward LSH, as I'd like to keep my cervix (it's healthy), am keeping my ovaries (they're healthy), and the shortened recovery time of LSH vs. TVH appeals to me.

I had this procedure done on 11/18. One night in hospital. I am returning to work on 12/1. Felt like I could have actually gone back on 11/24. I have had minimal pain. Took Percocet for 2 days, but hate how it makes me feel. Ultram twice a day after that. Now just ibuprofen. Had back pain before procedure and horrible periods. 3 days postop already less pain than before the surgery. Attended Bikram yoga class on 11/24, but probably not a good idea. Smart enough to not do all postures. I am active, yoga, and just took up rock climbing. Didn't want protracted recuperation. Also just hired new staff at work and didn't want to abandon them for long. Keeping cervix provides pelvic floor. Your body will appreciate this later in life as muscles can't perform as well and things still need to be held in place. My stomach is still a bit distended, but each day it improves remarkably. Good luck!! KO
