Not quite sure where to post this since Cheryl's surgery was non-AN related today.
Just had an email from her daughter and Cheryl is in recovery. The surgery (hysterectomy) itself went fine, but they will have to wait for a later pathology report.
Prayers continue for her uneventful recovery.

I just love Cheryl! Best wishes to her for a clean bill of health!

Thanks, Clarice! I had seen that Cheryl was having a procedure, then it was cancelled or postponed, and I couldn't remember where I had read this. I just posted 'behind her' on the book club thread and was just telling her I needed to go find out what was up with her, and here it is. If you're in contact, let her know we're praying for her and pulling for her.

I kept hoping I would have another update from Cheryl's daughter this morning, but nothing. I am going on the assumption no news is good news and will let you know if I hear anything more.
Cheryl thought they might keep her until Friday morning since her surgery was Wednesday afternoon, but I have not heard whether that is true or not. Hopefully Cheryl will jump in here herself when she gets home.

And I am home! I am absolutely amazed that a vag hyst could go so well. I had pain of maybe a 6 when woke up and had a couple morphine and that was about it. I was given an IV Toradol x3 and that was my whole pain med as had very little. I had told about my nausea post op so was given a nausea med and also a one time dose of steroid which he said helps too. It helped but also helped me not sleep much! I had some nausea when awoke but no emesis and no nausea by time got to room and none later. Called down for supper even. Ate breakfast but wasn't real hungry for lunch so only ate a bit. I was hoping for a private room and it was really was a nice one. I was up on my own then and pretty self sufficient. I was very tired today so off to bed first thing when got home for a decent nap. A bit sore but not bad and will take a pain med later. BP was up some but dr wasn't shook over it. The past path reports have been ok when did the D&Cs so should be here too. I appreciate everyones prayers and good thoughts. Means alot. I also hope don't go and have a later pain problem like Capt Deb did. I missed my computer and so glad to be back to it.
The dr knew about Aug and how had to be fine by then so should be. Clarice had wanted to know how it went so made sure she was on my daughters list and was good to have someone from here.

Great to see you, Cheryl! Happy recovery. :)

I'm intrepid? Isn't that a car? You just learn to put up with what ails you and we don't get much of a choice!
I just feel darn lucky that must of the time post op I am soon up and going on my own and you sure don't see a nurse then.

Cheryl! Good to see you. I trust that means everything went well. Welcome back, and hope you are back to 100% in no time.

I'm so pleased to learn of your fairly smooth procedure and rapid recovery. I'm not surprised, either... and not everyone is as practical as you are when confronted with physical problems, so yes, you are intrepid. It's a good thing. :)

Glad to see you doing well ...continued healing wishes ...
had vag hysterectomy 3 month before AN surgery ...did it day surgery (big mistake ) due to insurance...
surgery at 7:00am and home by 2:30pm ....but was amazed that I didn't feel worse than I did ...
good thoughts coming your way
-
Thanks. Is intrepid the word of the week? Now today am just on the tired side. A little sore when move certain ways. I have only took 2 pain pills so far since been home. Not real hungry but at least don't have the no appetite what so ever like past all the AN surgeries. I was expecting much more pain and have no problem with taking pain meds if need them. So not bad for day 2. Now if they could not have so much Michael Jackson on tv.
I am surprised he didn't die sooner than he has with the amount of drugs he has taken.

I am glad I got to spend the night anyway. Home the same day would be a little more nervewracking in case you had a problem.
I am happy for your 2 anniv celebration. Your amount of activity is amazing and you keep up far better than you think you do. Your poor brain doesn't have time to keep up with all you do to remember it well. I have too many bits of not keeping up with what I am doing anymore and is very maddening.

Cheryl,
sending those wishes for a speedy recovery to you and hope you are feeling up to par very soon. Take it easy and know I'm thinking of you! :)

Cheryl,
Thanks for the happy post hysterectomy news! Keep resting and don't over do it.
Not like brain surgery of course, but still watch those lifting restrictions.
Happy fourth to you :)

I am doing very well and luckily have been. Yesterday began felling more normal and not quite as tired as have been. I was up alot but just not feeling like doing much and now feel like can. No I don't intend to and am taking it easy but feel more ok now to think of laundry and what ever easy stuff needs to be done. Has been rather boring. We did go to the neighbors outdoor wedding Sat eve and was nice to be out for a while. Now hope to get to see the grandkids but know that there is no lifting. So feel very lucky that did not have this done the abdominal incision way and be hurting more.

I will add that had my ob-gyn post op surgery appt yesterday and all is going well. I was not expecting to do as well as I have. Anyway my pathology report showed all was benign. The problems I was having were not usual at all for my age and being post menopause. The dr had no clue if the NF2 could been a factor and which is doubtful to me. Anyway just glad that it is over with! I will go see him again post symposium.

Yea, great news Cheryl!
Have a good summer.

Hi Cheryl,
Wonderful news all around -- I'm so glad to hear you are doing so well!!! I hope your recovery continues smoothly.
Best wishes,

Hey Cheryl! Not fun is it? You are a few weeks ahead of me in the lady surgery recovery room. Sucks, don't it! I feel that just lately I've been getting back on my feet--it really took longer than I thought. My house was a wreck since I hadn't been able to clean for a few months--that's the first thing I did last week and now I'm back up in the studio. Hope you are doing better and are up for a good time in Chicago.
Hugs,

Deb, You need to avoid all health problems because boy do you do get what ever could go wrong! I was super lucky this time around and have done super. Very little pain and up and at em right away. Tired at times for the first week but then having to make myself take it easy. I was expecting much worse. Would have been if I had had the abdominal incision type surgery. No driving for 2 weeks but have that back now. All problems were benign and some adenomyosis I had never heard of. I never had to go thru all that you certainly did with the collapsed lung and pain too so hope that is better now. We have to be ready for Chicago! We are going to our daughter in Michigan first so will be a trip. Good to hear that it is getting better for you.

Deb, I can say I haven't tried to vacuum yet but that will be soon here as just used it as a good excuse not to. I am lucky with laundry as my washing machine is just off the kitchen so not a hard job at all. Go to hystersisters website for info which is interesting. Cheryl R
