I am writing this letter to let you know how pleased I am with how my surgical experience turned out.
When I found out that I needed a hysterectomy and that my bladder needed to be lifted, I was very upset. After meeting with you and your staff, I felt that I would be in good hands. The operation was nothing like I had anticipated. When I woke up I was not in pain, just a little sleepy. The nurses gave me Tylenol or Advil for discomfort. By the next morning I was able to get out of bed, have breakfast and with the help of my husband, walk down the hall and back. I did not have to take any pain pills, only the Tylenol or Advil for any discomfort. Since I did not have any stitches, there wasn’t any pain or pulling sensation. Since I had the operation on Monday, I was able to go home on Tuesday evening. By the end of the week I was walking up and down the steps at least twice a day and I was not bent over.
Within two weeks, I was able to drive and to resume most of my normal activities. The incisions healed very nicely and are getting smaller all the time. As you know my operation was December 12th and I work for the tax season starting the end of January. I was able to go back to work as though nothing had happened. I just want to let you know how pleased I am with this whole experience and to thank you. I would definitely recommend this way of having an operation.
