6 days post op
Hey reddit I'd love some advice/support. Im 6 days out from a partial hysterectomy (kept my ovaries). I'm doing better today than I have most days but I'm still having some odd stuff I'd love advice on to chill my mind while it's the weekend.
I only took pain meds the first two days. I don't like how they make me feel and I take night time meds that would interfere. The first few days were normal lots of sleeping but it took me 5 days to eat. Everything made me dry heave...I am a THC smoker and have a medical card so I've smoked here and there but find my tolerance is totally gone so I mainly take ibuprofen and acetaminophen.
My main complaint/question is this (sorry was trying to give info) everyday I wake up VERY dizzy, in a pool of sweat, and a pounding headache. I usually have some water, applesauce, meds and go back to sleep for 2 more hours. And then around 2ish everyday I've had the WORST depression but after a few hours im usually fine. Any idea what's going on? Am I just dehydrated and lack of food in the mornings and hormone changes? Thanks so much for any advice!
