Posting an update, am now 6 days post lap, and although still taking some pain meds, I need a lot less (can just take 1/2 Percocet every 6 hours, except a full one at night)
With effort and some pain, I can now pick something up off floor-- wouldn't have tried a few days ago.
Feel incisions and some stabbing pain on accession when I move, am still staying very quiet.
Fatigue is very much still ther, and I guess it is my body's way of getting maximum healing in.
I am glad my job is volunteer, I can just back off, and will also do so next week (so 2 full weeks, and after that I know will have to take it slow.) this board has been a great help...thank you, all!! Be patient with yourself!
Thanks!
Have they done an ultrasound? That is the only way to know for sure. I have ovarian cysts all the time. The blood tests probably just told them it wasn't cancer.
