Hysterectomy Wed afternoon, tremendous shaking on coming out of the anaesthetic and a bout of AF to top it off that evening, which, unusually for me, lasted until about 11 the following morning. I've never seen so many different doctors in one day!
Anyway, safely back in NSR much to everyone's relief and drinking (water!) and eating my way to health. 😊

Mine too. When I eventually reached the weight I had been the day before our daughter was born, I realised (for the first time in my life) that I would have to watch the calories.
Tough times. Take your time to recover, everyone will tell you this but I didn't believe them - it takes a very long time to totally recover - 2 years. I was 35 when had hysterectomy and healed very quickly but boy - I was in bed by 7pm most nights and my energy did take 2 years to return!
Agree with Tracey - it was also the best thing I ever did as I was SO much healthier after it and actually woke up feeling well for the first time in years. I was done with having children, but I know many women who found it a huge emotional loss.
Anyway take it easy and have a good recovery. Best wishes CD
Glad to hear you're better. Apparently it's kinda of common to go into afib after surgery -- oh the joys of afib. But if you went back to NSR on your own that is a very good sign. Hope you feel better soon.
please don't think I'm being flippant, but have you noticed Bob and Beancounter are keeping out of this one......can't think why!!! Just hope all goes well for you Caroline, it sounds like you have had a busy week!!
Update - hysterectomy itself has gone fine. Up and about, walking and was able to have a shower this morning!
2nd AF episode this morning but managed to sort itself within about an hour. I'm giving them a mix of temperature spikes, AF and low blood pressure but only ever one at a time!
