YAY! Glad to hear the op went well and they fixed you up

Just make sure you take those charchol tablets I sent you! Day 2 is when the trapped air pain kicks in under your diaphram and shoulders OUCH!!!!! (that was the worst bit of the whole op! )

Yep, it's definately the gas that is causing the most pain.

Last night was horrible sleeping... because I can only sleep on my stomach. And everytime I lay down on my back, the gas in my shoulder and diaphragm would get worse. Had to change sides every hour. Was horrible. Much easier to be up and about and moving around...hurts less. I said to DH in the wee smalls.... Is 4am too early to get up? Lol

Thanks again for the charcoal tablets Toni! Going to be knocking them back today, thats for sure.

Hiya Sunny
Toni sent me the Activated Charcoal tablets (brand is Red Seal) - Meant to help clear GI impurities etc. Seems to help shift the trapped gas.... which BOY is hurting today. Man, I can barely lift my right arm. *Cry*

Anyhoo... here's a funny pic... me a couple of hours after surgery. Hehe. (looking a tad pale!)

Lol. thanks!
When are you having surgery Sunny? I could pass on the charcoal tablets when I'm done with them. Since Toni was so kind in sending them to me, I should pay them foward. Lol.

Toni, how long would you say the pain from the gas should last?

For me the gas pain was pretty bad for a few days and had pretty much gone after a week.

Sounds like it went well Lou. Must be a relief to have it diagnosed and all removed as well! What did they mean by you having a "heavy" uterus?

Busymum, in other words, I needed a good cleaning out as I don't get regular periods. There was a lot of blood in there. I was quite suprised because I've had periods for the past two months. But before that I hadn't had one in ages.
