Hi everybody, I got back home from the hospital last week and have felt pretty wretched most of the time. The time in the hospital was pretty awful and frightening at times. In the end, they gave me a hysterectomy, plus removed my cancer tumor that was pressing on my rectum, so they removed that and gave me a colostomy. In all, it was quite a terrible experience, but I'm home now, 3 weeks post-op. I'm still finding it hard to come to terms with it all, as I find it a bit disgusting. I am having antibiotics, so things are pretty loose at present. It's not helping that I'm at home alone at present as my other half is in the hospice being looked after because the chemo he last had knocked him about a lot, so I'm not strong enough to look after him, only able to cope with myself at the moment. I have a district nurse coming every day and a neighbor being very helpful. Anyway, I must be feeling a bit better because I didn't have the strength to come on the computer last week, but here I am now. I just have to learn to take every long day at a time; I must learn not to be so impatient.
Best wishes to all,
Trudel
