They asked me several times what procedure I was having done before surgery and they said tell me in your own words. They want to make sure you know what is going to be done. So I said they are going to do a Sacral Colpopexy and then I stopped. She looked at me and I said, you want more than that? So I explained in detail what I knew they were doing. She was impressed that I could pronounce it and asked me to say it to several of her coworkers. I have to admit that I practiced. I went to sleep shortly thereafter and woke up at 6:01 pm.
We came home yesterday morning about 11:00 am. My doctor told me I had exceeded every expectation they had of me. It was mutual because she as my surgeon exceeded every one of my expectations. She said it took a long time to remove a great deal of scar tissue. I did not expect any work on my colon but she found a couple of areas that needed attention and called in a colleague specialist that happened to be in the next suite to assist her.
It was all done laparoscopically so I have 5 small incisions. On the pro side healing is faster and pain less, while on the con side I have a belly full of air that I am still trying to expel.
I am getting plenty of exercise and plan to work back up to my 2 miles a day but will do it close to home by walking around the block. Since we live in the middle of the block I am never far from home.
Feels good to be home. So taking care and being pampered is the plan for now.
Till next time...
