I felt … Continue reading Fibroids testimonial – Day 3 After Surgery by Denise N. Fyffe
On my second night I am a bit light headed. No bowel movement or gas as yet, so no food only liquids. My right hand is swollen, probably because it is sporting two main lines. My veins have been playing hide and seek with the doctors and nurses, so I got stuck a lot. Especially as … Continue reading Fibroids testimonial – Time to pee, poop and pass gas by Denise N. Fyffe
It's Sunday, 4 days before my myomectomy to remove my alien assassins - fibroids - and my mind is consumed by the thoughts of going under.
