Well I am officially at the 4 week mark and I got back from my post-op check up a few hours ago.
The post-op exam went pretty well. The doctor is very happy with my healing thus far- he had nothing but good things to say.
I am on an exercise and lifting restriction...he doesn't want me to run or jump or anything yet because he said that internally I still need to heal a bit.
I got the go ahead for yoga, though, which made me happy! He also suggested swimming, so I am looking into that (actually Rob is looking into that because he'd LOVE it if we both swam for exercise!!).
The worst part of the visit was the removal of the stitches that were in my vaginal wall. They were supposed to dissolve on their own, but weren't anywhere near dissolving...so he removed them and....jeez I'll be damned if you didn't all hear me screaming!!
I'm not gonna lie: it hurt. I think I squeezed Rob's hand so hard that it blanched.
But, I toughed it out ;-) and took an Advil...and I feel fine right now.
As I was leaving, the doctor said "You're good to go on and have a nice life!" I gave him a hug and thanked him about a million times. I don't think he realizes how much he changed my health and my life.
He has enabled me to go forth and have a nice life...just like he said ;-)
...and that's exactly what I plan on doing!!

SOOOOOOO glad to hear you got a good check-up! It's still gotta be totally frustrating to have restrictions when you are feeling so great otherwise...but yoga and swimming sound fantastic. As for the stitches...definitely not fantastic. HO.LEE.CRAP. That must have just sucked big time. I really can't even imagine how painful that must have been...sooo sooo sensitive...UGH! No question you are a supah troopah!
