Surgery update!

[ashaw]

I’m writing this from my hospital bed. My surgery yesterday was successful and it was a benign cystadenoma on my left ovary. It’s been under surveillance for 5 years but didn’t have a true diagnosis until after surgery. I’m now looking at a 6-8 week recovery and thankfully I’m not in pain but just uncomfortable because of swelling and tightness in my abdominal area. My doctor said I can ease back into exercise after 6 weeks and Pvolve will be where fitness begins for me. At the last minute, I changed my mind on LMR and have decided Pvolve is what I need during this season of my life. I’ll be trying to get back in shape and look for work at the same time, plus deal with a difficult household situation. Thank you all for your support!

It's 1 week post-op ... I hope you're healing well! I assume you've been able to resume walking.

My best wishes to you for a full recovery. I’m glad you are not in pain. That must be a relief after having surgery. Get well soon.

One week post op update! I’m feeling better than I expected, I’ve taken two walks around the block, a shorter one yesterday, which is Luca’s normal morning walk and a longer one this afternoon, which is Luca’s regular afternoon route. My husband is walking Luca and I’ve followed along because he only takes her a short distance. Sorry Luca, you’ve got to wait a few more weeks!

I’m moving slowly and carefully. I set up some grab bars at the toilet, I have a chair with a pillow at the backrest and my husbands walker with a tray is the perfect height for eating.
Mesh hospital underwear is the best stuff ever!

A crazy bonus is my stomach is flatter than before, I guess because my uterus was so large due to fibroids and the 8-9 cm cyst on my ovary and I’ve lost 5 pounds too!
