I have started to do light exercise, i.e. sit ups. Usually when doing this kind of exercise, my tummy and back would be cramping. That is not so much now. My body yearns to go back to the weights training I am used to; lifting hundreds of pounds. But somehow, I will hold off lifting that much for a few more months.

It’s October, almost one year after my Myomectomy surgery, which is the surgical removal of fibroids from the uterus. I have experienced different things during my recovery. At the moment, I am feeling strong and for the most part become fully engaged.
I am not like other persons. My spirit is strong, hence from the very first hour, my recovery process was highly unusual.
I woke up immediately after my Myomectomy procedure. I recall the green room and the movement of the gurney as they started to wheel me back up to the ward. Then, I went back to sleep. Later, I woke up when they settled me in the recovery room. It occurred to me that I was directly in front of the nurses station and not inside of the room, which I had been assigned down the hall. Sleep claimed me…

As my body healed, especially in the early months after fibroid surgery, my wound felt like a permanent belt. This feels strange, though I am conscious that it is the thread used to close the wounds and which also kept my organs inside me. It has taken a while to get used to this.

During this time, I was able to wear tighter fitting clothes without worrying about my wound. After the discomfort ended, I could run my bare hand over the scar, without concern about infecting the wound. My appetite also returned with a…

When I got home and saw that my wound oozed some white stuff and bled at the little opening; man, that was a reality check. I realised that not because I felt strong meant that my body was mended . So, the next day, I went to work in a loose skirt, slippers and a sweater.

It’s October, almost one year after my Myomectomy surgery, which is the surgical removal of fibroids from the uterus. I have experienced different things during my recovery. At the moment, I am feeling strong and for the most part am fully engaged.
I returned to work 6 weeks after my myomectomy surgery. Not for lack of trying, but my doctor refused me because of that little hole in my wound.
Boy, I was so deluded. The first day, I was nicely dressed, had on my broad heel shoes and did not move much once I was in the office. I felt strong and I was happy to be active and earning a pay cheque again.
When I got home and saw that my wound oozed some white stuff and bled at the little opening; man, that was a reality check. I realised that…

My first trip to the doctor was OK. The doctor removed my bandages and told me to come back the following week. By then, I developed Atopic Dermatitis around my wound – the rash from hell. Because the adhesive from the bandages was still on my skin and in parts I dared not mention, small bumps developed around the cut. They eventually turned black and I was mortified.

My mom, God bless her soul, wanted to baby me after my fibroid surgery. But, I could not live without my internet and I had books to write; so, after a day of reading novels on my tablet, I was properly bored. By the following day, I drove myself home, cleaned my wound and propped myself up in bed.

It’s October, almost one year after my Myomectomy surgery, which is the surgical removal of fibroids from the uterus. I have experienced different things during my recovery. At the moment, I am feeling strong and for the most part am fully engaged.
I still maintain that I was actually strong enough to drive myself home after my myomectomy surgery. I managed to go to the pharmacy, buy fruits and survived my uncle’s bumpy ride home. I stayed with my mom the first two days, just so she would not worry about me. Then, I went home and spent the following six weeks taking care of myself.

My uncle came to take me home and to the pharmacy for my medication. But I had to wait yet again. He finally came after I talked myself out of walking out of the hospital and driving myself home. Even though I was strong enough to walk, the procedure at St. Joseph’s is that they wheelchair you to your ride.

It’s October, almost one year after my Myomectomy surgery, which is the surgical removal of fibroids from the uterus. I have experienced different things during my recovery. At the moment, I am feeling strong and for the most part am fully engaged.
When I woke up, I wondered about my dual surgery and why I was not feeling any discomfort where I had a tumor or growth; separate from the fibroids. The following morning when my anesthesiologists came to check on me, I woke up again. She explained that I had lost nearly half of my blood and the surgery had to be cut short because of the complications that developed.
This explained why I was placed in front of the nurses station and also why my poor mother looked so distressed. I was in critical condition. 😦
I was also very thirsty. I…
