Well I am back from hospital following my laparoscopic exploratory procedure. I stayed in overnight Thursday and monitored then discharged in afternoon. As I mentioned this procedure was to investigate whether there was any spread to my bowels.
The very good news is that my bowels are okay. I did have a clear bowel screening just a couple of months ago but he wanted to check as it would involve a different treatment path.
So my consultant will be proceeding with a full hysterectomy. I don’t have a date yet but am seeing him on the 17th. Meanwhile I have been asked to shield until then. Covid precaution I assume. The nurses were very diligent about masks and while didn’t wear on the ward I wore them whenever outside it.
I feel fine. Had a good night’s sleep and while I have some vaginal bleeding it has tapered off. Makes me wonder if aside from bowel investigation there was a look inside uterus too so he could see first hand what was going on. My little wounds on belly and side are fine. I have been advised to rest for next few days which isn’t a problem.
so, that’s where I stand. Must say coming out of general anaesthetic was bizarre. Quite disoriented about where I was. They gave me morphine which calmed me down.
