Re: Suzan is home!
Hi Suzan,
Glad everything went well. I had an oophorectomy in Feb 08 and it turned out the golf ball sized cyst was benign. But they didn't know at the time so I have a nice big scar from belly button on down....lovely!
Best wishes for a fast recovery (you sound like you are doing very well!)
If you get gas pains they will show up in your shoulder. I'm not kidding!! I was in hosp. for 4 days after my ooph and when my shoulder starting killing me with pain the nurse said the air from the surgery goes there, of all places. Heat helps relieve it.
All the best,
Diannes
