E,
Nope, not on Hyster. I Googled a few good articles from their site, but didn't join. Looked like a lot of drama to me. . Thankfully, I've had a pretty easy time of it. I just camped out in the bedroom with my laptop, Netflix, phone, and meds for a good while. The internal stiches (ab incision) kinda burned and if I twisted the wrong way, it felt like it was tearing...but it wasn't/didn't.
After 2wks, I was feeling well enough to venture out to the other rooms for bits of time. The internal stitches were loosening their death grip on me...that was great!
It was really tough fighting cabin fever after 3.5wks when I started feeling pretty decent, but I was good and did what the doc said. Cabin fever was the worst.. I watched non-stop HGTV and DIY shows. Bet I can tile a floor now!! Haha
So..this last week I started back to work 1/2 days. Doc wanted me home 8wks, but comprimised with my cabin fever and is letting me do 1/2 days for 2wks. I saw her Tuesday and she checked my vag cuff sutures. Apparently I'm a great healer. All good there. I can have s now if i want. Whoopie! She cleared me for riding (easy, no hill workouts yet). Gotta let the abs heal more.
I believe it. I actually rode up a short 12% one Wed and that along with sitting at my desk 1/2 days hurts now a bit. So...lesson learned. Fight the urge to go back to work too soon (cabin fever be dam&ed) and don't ride any hills for a while. Hee hee
I'm actually feeling pretty good. It feels great to get back to some normal stuff.
I didn't mean to rattle off too much there. Hope some of it was helpful..or at least interesting.

After all that, I forgot to ask you how you're feeling!!!

So they started the cool part and couldn't finish the "easy" way? Ack. Guessing that was a bit of a let down when you woke up. Bummer!

So do you have laparoscopic spots on your belly as well as the bikini line incision? I had a large fibroid (think large grapefruit) on my uterus. Lap/nor vag removal were available to me. I just have a thin scar from near my left hip about 3/4 across to the right. I was surprised how low it really was. How bout u?
