One week mark

Today is one week since the hysterectomy. I started feeling pretty depressed last night after a long night and not being able to sleep. I finally fell asleep after 1am and yea I didn't get out of bed till after 10. I tossed and turned most of the night but I eventually got good sleep fr 6am till 10 thanks to a Vicodin I gave in and took. I decided to tag along with the hubs to the grocery store and it felt good to walk but I got tired and we made it home pretty quick.

The rest of the day was pretty laid back and besides finally having a "I'm going number two" moment it wasn't half bad. I sat out front with the kids while they played and I even snapped a few cute pics of them.

I love this pic!!

These are some great kids!!

 I came in and I noticed my incisions are still SOOO itchy I decided to call the dr oncall. The nurse advised me I was most like having an allergy to the adhesive they use to secure the steri strips. She then said I needed to remove them. Omgeez are you serious? I decided to wait till morning and just go see the dr. Well I lasted till midnight and I was in a itchy and burning hell! So I ripped three off and it felt better. So I tried to sleep but it did not last long. I was up by 4 and just miserable. Eventually I went to see my dr. The nurse was taken back by the look of my tummy so she brought in the surgeon and he confirmed it is an allergy. Benedryl and cortisone cream for a few days is supposed to help. Right now I'm not convinced. It's driving me mad. I can barely sit still. Day 7 post op and I feel like crap!!
