How to recover from a total adominal hysterectomy part 5

Third week – This week I started to do more exercise and planned to do two walks a day one walk in the morning lasting 15 minutes and one in the afternoon lasting 20 minutes. By evening I felt quite tired but wasn't in any pain whatsoever. My scar was healing well and beginning to turn red. I forgot to mention that I didn't shower in the first and second week I was paranoid that I might get Scar wet and get an infection. Obviously I had a wash down every morning.

Fourth week – this week I was beginning to get back to my normal self. Although my husband had to keep reminding me not to do too much So I ended up spending most of the week watching TV in between doing my daily walks, which now amounted to about 50 minutes a day.

Fifth week – as you can gather so far so good and this was the week that I started to say to myself I want to get back to work. My daily walks was now up to one hour a day. My energy levels were good, and I noticed that I was beginning to put weight back on. In my first and second week I noticed that I had lost quite a bit of weight but now I was almost back to normal. Not a great deal to report and to be honest This whole experience is beginning to sound quite boring, but then again maybe that's a good thing. I had herd so many bad stories about having a total hysterectomy that maybe it's good to hear a story like this one, so I will continue.

Six-week – this week I went to the doctors mostly just to obtain a sick leave note for my job. When I was at the hospital having my operation the nurse had told me that total abdominal hysterectomy patients, no longer had to have six week review examination unless they had complications. The whole experience at the doctors was quiet a none event he just ask me how I felt. When I told him that I felt good and wanted to get back to work as soon as possible. He said that instead of signing me off for another six weeks he would only sign me off for four weeks. At the end of four weeks he said I might be able to return to work as long as there were no heavy lifting involved. I left the doctors feeling quite positive but was quite surprised that he didn't examine me, but then again I had no complications so why should he. Obviously this is all part of saving money for the national health service, to be quite frank its probably right thing to do. One last thing to mention I made love this week and everything works!
