Hi everyone, I posted quite a few weeks ago, saying that I had to go into hospital and have an operation, and my concern was how they were going to do this operation with my copd condition not being good. Well I am pleased to report that I had the operation on the 13th April, and all went well. I was given a spinal block and a general anathestic as well, a bit scary, but the consultants that were looking after me were wonderful, I had a radical hysterectomy, was in hospital on IV antibiotics for 4 days, I had no prob whatsoever with my COPD, I am at home now and although I have to take it easy for quite a long time, I don't regret the decision to have it done, I felt safe at all times with the team that was taking care of me. So trust in the people who know best about your procedure,

That your operation was a success, and not nearly as bad as what we think sometimes, I think the thought is worse that the deed, glad you also had faith in the medical profession, that goes a long way, stay well. Annette
You take care and have the perfect excuse to do nothing. Do hope that after recovery you will feel so much better.

Glad all went well. I had a hysterectomy getting on for 2 years now. Plus had to then have emergency 2nd op 3 days later!! But anesthetic was fine.
Now all over LISTEN to your body and give yourselves time to recover. It's not that long ago people had 6 months off work!
I went to GP 2 weeks after op complaining I still felt ruff - GP fell about laughing and pointed out I just had major surgery!!
I tried to go back to work 10 weeks after op, lasted a week then had another couple of weeks off. Just too difficult initially.
Get well soon
