I ended up staying in the hospital for a couple of nights. They told me I was recovering well but I was and am still battling horrid gas pains. Ugh. That is the worst part of this whole experience. My surgery went a bit longer than usual so maybe they have to inject you with more gas or something. As I suspected, my ureter and intestines were intertwined with the fibroid on the left. They had to call in another doctor to be sure my ureter was okay after they removed the fibroids. I ended up peeing Listerine green for a few days thanks to the dye, ugh. Ninety percent of the pain I've been experiencing has been gas related. The incision is sore but not the root of my problems. My right leg is numb on the outside which I hear is normal after surgery, just odd. I'm glad the surgery is over but I can tell this is no easy recovery. Maybe Ill suddenly start feeling better? Still taking pain meds, GasX and stool softener. I walk as much as I can but after nearly every walk I'm ready for a nap. The fatigue is unbelievable.
