Marathoner’s Hysterectomy – Day 10

Hi! Yesterday I arrived in Los Cabos to visit my sister and the plane ride was totally fine, though it feels like I have to pee more often than normal? Not sure. After some relaxing by the pool, I went for a “fast” 7km in the hot evening! The whole first half of the walkContinue reading “Marathoner’s Hysterectomy – Day 10”

Hysterectomy Recovery – Days 7 & 8

It’s been a week already! I can’t believe it. At this time last Tuesday I didn’t know if I was gonna survive, but today I’m kicking ass haha.

Marathoner’s Hysterectomy Journey -Day 3

Okay, 2nd night’s “sleep” was WAY better than the first, though not great. I got in a solid four hours, but then I kept getting out of bed every two hours to walk around and try to get my GI tract moving. Having no catheter or IV was very freeing and even though I wasContinue reading “Marathoner’s Hysterectomy Journey -Day 3”

Marathoner’s Hysterectomy Journey – Day of, that night & morning after

Wow. I will start by saying that the last 12 hours were some of my worst ever. My husband drove me to the hospital for 11am yesterday and the check-in process was smooth and easy. Once we got to Day Surgery, I was changed into a gown, booties and some massive gangster shorts almost immediatelyContinue reading “Marathoner’s Hysterectomy Journey – Day of, that night & morning after”
