Re: What I did on my summer vacation...

pip don't feel old! I had a complete hysterectomy and a cystocele repair when I was 23 (4 years ago) I am 28 now. I had severe endo and cervical cancer, I had 7 surgeries in the nine months before my hysto for various problems. I still have problems with the endo, as I have it on my bowel and bladder, and with the "sling" on my bladder they can't do much to remove the endo from there without having to redo the sling .

It does get better I promise! I have a real high pain tolerance(I have been known to go shopping at walmart as soon as I ger released from the hospital), but I did get uncomfortable with a few of my surgeries. Like 3 days after my hysto my son had to go to the Er and get stitches, I had to hold him for 5 hours in the ER while we were there and waiting etc. I was soooooo sore and bruised after that.

Just take it easy if you can, and I know all to well about the "bathroom problem" you are having, I think after my hyster. it was about 9 days before I found relief. I am going to PM you in a few minutes and tell you what medicine finally worked for me, so I don't have to post it.
