It's been a rough week. On the outside I'm looking better. The cuts are now healing and as long as I don't pick up my shirt and SHOW the mess you would not be able to tell, unless you happen to be walking behind a waddling lady (it might be me) I know sad right? I can't seem to walk normal yet. It all feels like stuff moving around and pulling in wrong directions. So the internal healing must be what the 8-10 week recovery period is referring to. I'm having moments of stir craziness but I am also respecting this recovery hoping to be well soon.
My biggest issue seems to be insomnia. I just can't sleep or stay asleep. I read about this on a hysterectomy support group and apparently it's a huge side effect. Right now my ovaries are sleeping fr the surgery. I'm hoping for that to soon pass because the hormones could be the culprit for no sleep. The cycle is just crazy. No sleep makes me feel icky, feeling icky makes me depressed. If I was still having my period I would have started yesterday. I still got the lingering migraine and lower backache but no period. Fun stuff! I don't know what I expected but I was obviously off track. I know I have to get past recovery to get feeling better. On the upside hopefully not having a period will help to regulate my blood levels and iron stores.
