Dear Mother of Sweet Fried Chicken !
After meeting with my surgeon yesterday, I was sent in for an ultrasound, as he felt that there was "something" going on underneath my surgical site. After the ultrasound, "they" found that I have a large pocket of fluid underneath, and running the 8" length of the incision. Soooooo ... back to my surgeon's I went. This is where it gets "good."
My doc had to cut my belly open. He drained what he could of the fluid. I must say that I HAD TO WATCH. I love that grossness!
And then ... and then ... He sent me home with syringes and padding and tape. I have to stick a damned syringe in the hole 3X per day and flush my open gut with this concoction of hydrogen peroxide and water. As much as I'm okay with doing it, I'm tired, tired, tired of constant setbacks in my life.
I did not bank on this shite when I signed up for the hysterectomy. But, from the luck I've experienced in the past, it does NOT surprise me at all that there would be a set-back. So, there's that.
However, I am, particularly, excited about Mama's dinner tonight: Home made fried chicken, rice & gravy, asparagus (my job), and butter rolls. Nothing like a fabulous Southern meal to keep you warm.
Love and thanks to all.
xoxo
Anna

I sure hope you are both on the mend "Anne Maha". It seems all us young ladies are in the same boat, more often than not. Sending you healing vibes and loads of "thank you" for checking in.
