I'm having some major surgery

“good luck rocksee, i had a TAH AND BSO 4 years ago in nov. i had my cousin help take care of me for 2 weeks. it was a slow recovery. thought i could do a hiking trip sooner than expected and had to bale after one night on an ocala trip. hystersisters was a help but it did cause me to worry more than what i needed to.”

“Wow cyndee- felt the same way after reading several accounts. Just in a lull right now.”

“i'm very leary of them. my mom went completely bonkers after hers and has never been the same since.”

“Peace and Prayers Rocksee”

“You're in my thoughts and prayers Rocksee. Just to balance out what Pamela said, my mom mellowed out and became nice. Have no fear. Once the hormones level out you'll be fine.”

“good luck Rocksee...just think, no more monthly crapola!”

“NGB- that's right no more plugs and pads needed. If they leave my ovaries I'll still PMS that beats cramps any day.”

“UUGGG.. I HATE pms!!!!”

“Best of luck for a speedy recovery.”

“Thankyou Navi!”

“Why did I have to open this thread while eating a roast beef sandwich?”

“I've heard many euphemisms for that over the years, but.....  'crapola'?     LMAO”

“I hate PMS too.
Try being the husband that has to try and please a PMSing wife. My ex claimed she had PMS about 3 out of every 4 weeks. ;-)”

“SS she probably had a hormone imbalance-
Sarge- sorry you clicked on the wrong thread.
I am in a mini crisis right now- this op is needed only I won't be able to do much for several weeks. No DH (darling Husband) in the wings. My roommate is at the lab all day and I have to consider alot between now and the 21st.”

“You might have to get some home help for a little while. :-(
Does your insurance pay anything on this?”

“Don't know SS- may have to look into it or meals on wheels- gotta get my weight up (103#- 5'3")”

“hugs and best wishes !!!”

“About the only way to please a pms'ing woman is to leave her alone and let it run its course.”

“Chocolate works well too. =)”

“Chocolate helps EVERYTHING!!”

“Went to an art opening, a cool restaurant, then a "Hat" party all in one night. Gotta do that now.”

“party for me girly!”

“Will do Pammie- Scorpio Party @ 4pm today!”

“A Scorpio party? DO tell. Sounds dangerous though if its a roomful of Scorpios.”

“Suz said mine was the best gift- lots of great musicians showed up, jammed and I got myself home ok. Really a docile gathering.”

“I have the most amazing womanDr/Surgeon working with me. She told me she wants me up and out to the Mall come Friday- Ha! That will be two days post-op. I go in on Weds morning -less than 48 hours to go.”

“Heal Well!”

“Rocksee, if this is going to be done abdominally stop at the drugstore and get yourself some Mederma. The friction of tissue that happens when you apply it will lessen the scar and underlying scar tissue significantly.

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow.”

“Sass- she is planning a LAVH and the scarring should be minimal (been there once already) TAH would be last resort. I'll check it out. And for crying out loud I get my "last" period this morning and can't take Ibuprophen today and I am out of tylenol!”

“Sheesh. How's that for a nasty joke?!”

“This is like hanging out at Mom's office all over again.

a Strange bit of nostalgia, to be sure ---- LOL (as if the 60s weren't already strange enough)”

“gotta see the irony!”

“One more for the road?”

“ARRGGH!”

“sorry! < G >”

“Yet another firm reminder as to why I am having this done- after tommorrow I will be free from this pain (minus recovery time).
Oh Happy day!”

“Here I am in TN and my 73 yo Mom forgot what I was going in for, glad I called her.”

“Mind you she is in CT, I am in TN”

“happy recovery rocksee, been there, done that.”

“Thank ya cyndeee I recall you went through some surgery recently yourself”

“Eeak! 3 hours till no food/water”

“good luck rocksee”

“What a trip! I am bruised all over my abs even though they did use laproscopy. Apparently it was worse than though of, so they took it all. I have been walking since yesturday.”

“Glad you're up and about.”

“Glad you're home and doing well. No foot races for awhile, okay?”

“Damn Rocksee. I just saw this. Hope you feel better soon.”

“Hang in there rocksee.”

“Gee rocky - that sounds serious. I wish you nothing less than the speediest of recoveries - in all regards. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.”

“Thank god I have a cold therapy pack to use- the bruising wraps around from my navel to my back. finally able to keep some food down. I wish I had one of those lap trays for my bed!”

“Wow. Do you have someone who can go get one? I don't think they are that expensive.”
