I had my Novasure Friday at 2 pm. It's now Monday morning, 9:20. Here is my journey over the weekend after my 18 hours post surgery post:
I spent all of Saturday resting and taking the 800 mg of ibuprofin. I did piddle around the house a little. The accute pain only came back twice, and while the pain meds were wearing off. Mostly just crampy.
Yesterday, Sunday, I ventrued out to Target, lunch with my mom, and then a music store. I was exhuasted by the time I got home. I also have a cold though. So I think my body just expended too much energy btwn fighting to heal and fighting off this cold, and then spending a few hours out... I came home wrapped presents and napped hard for 2 hours! But...I didn't take ANY pain meds until bedtime last night! And I wrap sitting on the floor! I was just mildly crampy all day. I was a little more sore last night, but I did do alot. I so took the pain meds...just in case. I needed to sleep. I haven't lifted my 32 lb 18 month old until today...just in case. And it's only to and from a carseat, crib, or high chair.
My husband took the weekend to cook, clean, and wait on me. *awwww* I contribute his helpfullness to how well I'm doing. I was really able to get some rest.
Today I'm still crampy. But it's VERY manageable! I haven't taken any meds today either. I'm sure 2 tylenlol would knock it out. But I HATE taking meds unless I have too.
As far as drainage: I had some bright red spotting day one. It's turned to pink and now brown spotting. A panty liner takes care of it. I'm waiting for the rush of water and blood I've heard about. I'm kinda wondering if the spotting is my cervix healing and the blood will come as my uterus heals. Who knows though.
I have more energy today (so far...lol). And thats with not sleeping well due to my cold! lol I still have some things I need to get done before our Christmas party on Wed. that's here, but I'm gonna take it slow and not push myslef too much. I remember what my doc and nurses said about taking it easy and the more I do, the more discharge I'll have.
So....all and all....great so far. It's the waiting for the heavier flows to come that killing me. LOL
