After getting over the initial shock of it. I think I am going to go
for it. It is going on two weeks now. I feel certain now that I am
paying attention that the familiar tugging and pulling is there. It
hurts to pick up my daughter and move and bend in certain directions.
The lower incision from the lap in October is pinching, tugging and
pulling to the right. So yeah, I think I need one.
My dh and I have talked. After the next baby is born, I am getting a
partial hysterectomy. I want my uterus OUT. I want the right ovary and
tube gone too. I havn't sprung that on my doc yet. I see him on Friday
but will find out more about the lap then. Keep your fingers crossed.
