Dana,
Thanks for the well-wishes. I’m home now. The recuperation in the hospital was not a picnic for me. I thought it would be easier. My course was complicated by my type 1 diabetes, receiving the steroid decadron at surgery, and reluctance of a couple of nurses to give me the dose of insulin which I felt I needed as opposed to what the orders were. My bowels gave me fits, too. I had a lot of gas, and the obstruction caused by the vaginal packing causing pressure in my rectum made it more difficult to pass and also to determine what was gas and loose and watery BM.
I don’t mean to tell you these things to scare you off. When you get to this point in your journey, I hope all goes smoothly.
With love, JAKe/Jeri
