Back post-hysto. Went well. The hospital was great, very well equipped, great care. Except for the food, which was spectacularly awful, even by comparing other hospital food. Actually by comparing any food. I was regretting begging to be put on a solid food diet after my first meal. Thank god I'm out.
There was internet in the hospital, but Susan's was blocked by the net-nanny as being sexual/erotic. Apparently I missed some postings while I was away - you must've been naughty
. I'll have a word with the ISP that blocked it. I tried logging on by IP and proxy server, but couldn't get in.
Hysto itself was amazingly easy. I was pretty immobile the first day, could get up the second day, and by the third day, today, I can move around fine, just not for long. Kinda tired, but no pain. Mind you, I am keeping up with the painkillers and I did feel pain partway into my 7 hour journey home when they'd worn off. I have three holes the size of a bic pen in my belly and that's it.
A word to the wise for anyone going in for this - take briefs or boxer briefs. The post-surgery padding doesn't work with boxer shorts, and they'll kit you out with a lovely pair of mesh panties if you're not prepared.
Good to be back,
Dennis
