5 weeks post Fibroid surgery

Hello lovely people.

This is an update on how I am doing post 5 weeks of surgery. I had an appointment with my doctor on Monday, and all is well with me.

I had my period which was a week late. It was quite heavy and I did see very tiny strands of clots, accompanied with pains in my tummy, vagina and back, so much that I had to call my doctor, who told me that it was normal, as I am still healing. He said he usually places women on some kind of drug which makes them feel menopausal and quite uncomfortable so he did not place me on it. He however said that my next period would be lighter with no pain, so I look forward to it later in the month.

After my period, I took a 15 minutes walk ( did not time the walk) around the neighbourhood, when I came back I noticed that I was bleeding, but it ceased at night time. The doctor explained that I had not fully healed internally. I do hope to resume work next week, but will not stay long hours, until after the end of the month or 2 weeks at most, so my body gets accustomed to the long hours gradually.

The doctor has placed me on some folic acid and omega 3 tablets to prepare my womb for conception. I and my husband have prayed over the drugs, and trust God that by October, I will be with child. (oh the doctor said I could start trying by October)

Ahhh yes! Konji(sexual urge) did strike again, and the deed was done, and this time around I was successful, but on Sunday morning, I thought I was in labour, my tummy felt as if it was going to rip out, I had to take tramadol to calm the pain, my sweet husband felt guilty for last night pleasure. So now, no more sex until ahhh, whenever, no matter how the konji strikes.


Thank you for reading. I appreciate your comments. God bless

Myomectomy surgery, and my faith

Image
I was 26 years old when I found out that I had fibroids. I am African American. I have had heavy periods with clots for 3years but when I went to my GP, the nurse dismissed it as anemia and probably my change in diet. In 2012 after uni, I decided to have the contraceptive implant under my arm so I could focus on my education to become a lawyer. Whilst I was in law school, I did not have a period for 6 months, but on the 7 th month I had a very heavy clot so much that it weighed down my knickers, as big as an orange that came out, I was scared and ran to d GP and he thought I was having a miscarriage, and I thought that the contraceptive had failed me. But after a pregnancy test I was not, and then the doctor spoke to me about Fibroids, which I dismissed because all the people I knew that had Myomectomy where in their late or early 40s so I dismissed it. In November 2013 after I was called to the bar (became a solicitor and advocate) I had taken out the implant in October bec...

Post Myomectomy

Post myomectomy operation, I will advice that you stick to the doctor’s advice, do all he tells you even if your body feels otherwise. I spent 3 days in the hospital and when I came home, having OCD, I unpacked my bags myself, and put things away. I also took very short walks, from the house to the gate, as the doctor told me to exercise my calf muscles. On my day 2 at home, I made lunch, and also swept my house from kitchen to bathroom, lounge and bedroom, as I was bored, and also because I feel no one can clean to my taste. I did not feel any pain, and I could bend, although I could not stand up right. A week later, I removed the stitches, and then the pay back began. First of all it was so painful taking off the plaster as my pubic hair had grown a bit. (Rub a lot of baby oil on all sides of the plaster before you go to have it removed) when the thread was taken off, it was as if the pain had been released. I could not walk upright again; I was in so much pain, had swellings ...

FOLIC ACID REVIEW

I started taking folic acid about 3 weeks ago, excited about it, and feeling very prepared for my journey; all of a sudden I started having pimples very tiny ones like rash on my forehead .  I started using my Italian towel, but to no avail.  It still kept coming up fresh every day and multiplying. I had to sit back and think about what new stuff I have introduced to my system. I then pinned it down to the folic acid. I browsed about it, and I found out that most people complained that they did have acne from taking the folic acid. It has been 3 days since I stopped taking it, and I can see the pimples is suppressing on its own. My husband explained to me that the dosage maybe very high. My dearest friend Mina, did suggest that I take pregnacare in prepration, for conception, as it also has all the nutrients I need from conception, and pregnancy.  So I think that I will start that by the end of the month. A pharmacist did explain to me that in pregnacare the amou...
