I had my first post-op appointment yesterday. This was with my gynecologist. She, along with an oncologist is who did the surgery. The gyno took my staples out yesterday and let me know that I tested negative for an infection they were checking me for. While it's good I don't have the infection they tested for, it leaves a puzzle as to why I still have chronic diarrhea. She believes it is possible that it's "simply" related to the surgery, and everything inside being moved around!
SO, I am on a medicine to see if it helps...if no help by Friday, I am to call her again and we will try something else.
My pain level is great today... I think I'll be in the bed a good bit, which of course is what the gyno reminded me to do anyway. In her words, "There is nothing normal about the hysterectomy you had or the reason you had it. You will not follow the normal recovery times as everyone else."

Psalms 23:4-6 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

1 Corinthians 15:54-57 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
