It can be about literally anything idgaf I just need something to focus on other than my aching pelvic muscles.
Edit: thank y’all for all the replies! I’m gonna get back to as many as I can over time! I’ve been napping a lot the past day and have been ignoring a lot of phone notifications lol
No questions, but a suggestion: take your pain meds before it starts hurting. I’ve had some surgery in the past and waiting until it hurts is too late. Yeah, the “cabin fever” sucks, and wait until you have to put a seatbelt on!
Good luck, hope you have a speedy recovery!
I’ve been doing a half decent job of staying on top of the pain. My injuries are gonna hurt no matter what because I wasn’t given anything crazy for it.
Male here, how many minutes do you think I could last with endometriosis before keeling over dead? For reference I got kicked in the balls once and it hurt. Oh and one time I had a tummy ache and it hurt.
Uhhh… Prolly a few days but it’d suck. Idk if you’ve ever had a kidney stone, but the pain levels are worse than that.
No but I had a cold once.
Colds are awful in their own way tbh.
What’s a hysterectomy?
A surgical procedure to remove the uterus and ovaries, basically. A major surgery
What’s your favourite flag (in terms of design)?
If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
Do you prefer a big house or a small house?
Do you believe in ghosts? Why or why not?
Flight.
Small.
And yes. I’ve seen loads of unexplainable spooky shit
Hooray for yeeting the ute! Did you keep your ovaries, and either way, are you going to start HRT to stave off early menopause? From what I understand, in a hysterectomy the blood flow to the ovaries can get disrupted and they might not function as well, so you start meno earlier than you otherwise would’ve.
I kept my ovaries. I’m keeping an eye on stuff but my Dr doesn’t think I’ll need her since the ovaries are in perfect health.
That’s good news! Hopefully you have a speedy recovery and are back visiting Sandy soon :)
How are you? Are you okay?
I’m doing pretty okay right now. I got some decent sleep which helped
What’d you have for dinner?
A really shitty pot pie lol

Bro what’s your problem lmao
No shortage of crazy on the internet 🫠
I think the question everyone is asking themselves is whether you want your inverted penis covered by health insurance?

How does it feel to have a quick retort to anyone that calls you hysterical?
Honestly didn’t think of this until you mentioned it. 10/10 gonna use this retort as soon as I can lmao
How did the hysterectomy patient feel about her surgery? She said it was a “womb-derful” experience!
What’s your favorite breed of rabbits?
Flemish giants. They’re just so absurdly big
Yes!!! I can’t imagine how much they eat!!!
Did they let you take it home with you, so that you could use it to make sausage?
No, but I got pics of my uterus while it was still inside of me. I wanted pics of it in the surgeon’s hand for size reference but that wasn’t allowed. 🙄
That’s pretty cool. I’ve been watching The Knick and I imagined some bloody scene with a hand and tools.
If any of the laparoscopic instruments are in that shot, the diameter of the shaft of nearly all of them is 5mm, which can give a sense of scale.
Some of them have 1cm interval markings on the shaft as well.
…also literally every surgical supply pack (bunch of sterile supples contained in a backtable drape - opening and unfolding that is the start of your sterile field) has some kind of measuring device in it - usually just a disposable ruler, but lots of other random supplies have 1 cm intervals etched into them as well cuz why not I guess. They could have (and usually do) put one of those next to the specimen when taking a photo of it. …they might have simply forgotten that step lol.
Oh hey! Congratulations on yeeting the uterus! Had mine out through my C-section scar, so hopefully your recovery will be quicker. And when it’s over, you’ll be able to wear white pants any time you want, and have pretty sheets!
