I had TAH and BURCH done in November, I went home with a suprapubic cath
which was removed on post op day 4, it was probably a good 3 weeks+
before I was going pretty normal again. Make sure you are drinking LOTS
of water or juice. Also, make sure you use your pain medicines as
needed. Good luck. Also check out http://www.hystersisters.com, a great web
site for those looking for support before, after and beyond
hysterectomy.
