Day 5

So I find it vaguely irritating that I can't do anything....I'm quite impatient and I know that Mike's gone to work thinking "she is going to do stuff and I have no control over it" But I know that everyone has said to me, "YOU CANT DO ANYTHING" although my memory of what my consultant told me was not quite that. I'm sure he said I could lift a kettle, but Mike says not.. Is it me hearing what I want to hear?

I had a bad night and although the pain from tha laparoscopy is dissipating now my back really hurts with all that over compensating. That Tens machine is pretty good though, can't believe I haven't bought one in all these years of shoulder pain and Mike moaning at me because "I'm not a professional, I don't know how to make your back better!" Shhhsssshhh though cos I reckon I still need a back rub every now and then.

So in the leaflet given to me by the physio it talks about "exercise and getting fit after your hysterectomy"
One of the first things you have to start doing is your pelvic floors, well its hard to feel motivated to do any exercise but needs must and so on. Well Mike read this leaflet from front to back so knows exactly what I am supposed to be doing and when, how annoying is that? Well anytime I need to cough or laugh or blow my nose or do anything for that matter...this little voice pipes up from nowhere....."Floors!"

"OK, thank you, lol, every other thing, it's "Floors" anyone would think he has a vested interest lol.

It's all very weird this, I have some real shiners on my belly, this would suggest that I was really punched around in my unconsiousness and I have no idea about it (thank goodness) but my body is reacting and recovering from this and I have no recollection of why. When you hurt yourself, your brain sends messages to your body to tell you it is in pain and you need to stop, this happened a year ago when I fell down the stairs and tore a ligament, I cried like a baby and stopped everything quite literally. But this is different, if you are uncouncious who is controlling your brain to tell you to stop and recover? Mmm interesting.

I still look pregnant with all that gas or what ever it is left inside me, how ironic is that?

Mike told me to ask Mr Louden when I came round "How soon can I think about starting a family?" I must admit it is funny and I was going to do it but I was unconsious when I came round??? so didn't see him and when he came to see me the next day I was too sick, so I have decided I will ask him when I go for my follow up in a month. I bet he has been asked it before and it's not even funny to him but oh well you gotta do something to keep yourself entertained don't ya?
