3 and a half weeks ago, I ve had a total abdominal hysterectomy, removal of both ovaries and a 10cmx10cmx10cm fibroid. I have done progress, but still have acid reflux in my stomach and painful gases in my tummy. But what I hate most is my swollen, tender, painful tummy with internal stitches stinging and hurting. I am housebound and get a fair share of rest, on and off during the day, and now I am finally getting a good sleep at night, although I do some housework and cooking. When will this get better?!
