Some of you may remember my previous posts about my keyhole surgery for ovary removal. Well everything seems to have gone according to plan - got the op on Tuesday, got out on wednesday and I've got a docs appointment on monday to see if I'm fit to return to work. I feel ok, the only problem is that there's still quite a lot of swelling and bloating around the incisions. Does anyone who has had a similar op know when this is likely to go down?

I am trying to be sensible and not drive for a few more days but being stuck in the house is driving me bonkers. Any suggestions how I can pass the time? I'm getting a lift up to see the stroppy irish grey mare tomorrow - can't wait!
All I can say is thank goodness for HHO as daytime tv is awful and I've already read 2 books since I got out and am getting eye strain.
Guess I could improve my computer skills and learn to upload photos - is there an idiots guide on here somewhere?
 
What about mini series (Pride and Predjudice) or a looong movie (Lord of the Rings trilogy or Gone With the Wind)?

Compile a shopping list of things you will need for next winter?

Sneaky episodes of TV programmes on You Tube?

Failing that, get a Likit and go nuts.....

Swelling around a surgical area ahould go within a 3-5 days ish. As long as there is no exudate or smell it will be healing well.

Eating a high protein diet will aid healing - so steak for dinner.....
 
I had keyhole to remove my gal bladder, I think they pulled it through my belly button ewe ! I felt fine after a few days, they said I couldn't drive for 7 days I think it was, I did go to see my horsey after 5 ! I went back to work after another 2 weeks off, not bed ridden though. I do think I went back a bit soon as somone where my friend worked (a man) was off for 6 months ! I only went back to work cos I wanted to start riding again, cos he'd had 3 weeks off he got azutoria so was off for 6 weeks ! totally my fauld of course, in my defence i did warm him up but he got excited and started cantering so I said go on then you fool, who was the fool then ? ME

Not sure about ovary removal though soz
 
When I was recovering from surgery my OH gave me a 10 day free subscription to World of Warcraft which is highly addictive - I spent hours levelling my little mage character and Im still playing her at level 80 3 years later lol

Hope you get better quickly :)
 
On a day like today, get outside and sprawl in the sun. Make a daisy chain if you get bored ;)

And pity us poor people slaving over hot computers and laptops!
