Kipper,
Sorry to hear about the blood clot 6 weeks after your surgery. That was one of my biggest worries after the surgery. Thank goodness it was caught early and you are receiving medication and treatment.
I also went off HRT before my RTKR surgery last December. I have been off that for 2 1/2 months now, the first time since my total hysterectomy in 05.
I am doing ok, but I have been getting hot flashes everyday since the surgery. Not sure if it's a combination of post surgery and low hormones. Those hot flashes are a real pain for me, so I am having some testing done to see what hormone levels are abnormal.
At almost 8 weeks post op, I can honestly say, that I am finally starting to feel
frequent times of being pain free. I had great amount of bruising and swelling in the early weeks and now the bruising is completely gone. Still have some swelling, but my ROM is at 118 and extension is almost at 0.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery. Hugs, Kathy
