23hrs post op

It's almost been a full day! I had a bilateral salpingectomy and my IUD (mirena) removed. I have two small incisions, one right below (and kinda in lol) my belly button and then one right above my pubic hair. My throat hurts the worst but it's honestly not terrible. Just a lot of clearing and some coughing. When I cough my belly hurts a bit but I haven't needed anything stronger than the prescribed Motrin.

I have needed my IUD out for almost 5 years and couldn't because of gynecology related PTSD. Now that the IUD is gone, I can never get pregnant, and my risk of several cancers that run in my family have gone down, I cannot describe the weight off of my shoulders. I'm so happy with my decision.
