Glad you came through fine, Lynn. Just rest up now and heal fast. Though your reference to spaying your cats gave me pause. Somehow I couldn’t reconcile the majestic, majesterial Ms. Bodini with yowling forays around around the neighborhood and “spraying” incidents on the furniture. Sleep, peace and health. Veb ---

Lynn - glad you’re sorta kionda up and about. I know how you feel riiiiight about now - got a partial spay in January (lost the left ovary and fallopian tube to an ectopic pregnancy). Not the most fun thing in the world - and BOY does it hurt to sit up and move around! Take good care of yourself, it does get better within a couple of weeks. Whatever you do, keep an eye on the stitches for infection. Heal fast!!! 🙂 Enjoy the time off!

It’s good to know that everything went well, and I hope that you’ll get your Furby to behave better than mine ever does! 🙂 Maybe reading the directions more, would help me and ‘Cocoa’ too! * * * Judy * * * “Um, according to who?

Lynn, keep a positive attitude, that’s more than half the battle! We’re all pulling for you. I hope everything will be smooth sailing from now on. ---

Speaking from experience, there’s nothing like waking up from surgery and being told you _don’t_ have cancer. Best wishes! ---

Lynn, best wishes on your recovery. Stay away from the Pit! Don’t want to see you bust a suture. Read all the books you’ve been meaning to and let your Hon nurse you in the sweetest ways.

Hope your recovery goes well. Lisa, trying to envision what a “suspicious” ovary looks like. ---

Lisa, suspicious ovaries are very easy to spot - they wear dark glasses, trenchcoats, and fedoras pulled way down on their foreheads. 🙂 Lynn, I hope your recovery is going well. I had an ovary removed MANY years ago. I was delighted at first because I didn’t think it was at all painful - until I coughed. Woohoo, what a wake up call that was! And laughing - of course everyone was trying to cheer me up by being funny and telling jokes - I could have killed them all! And watch out for those car rides - I thought the doctor was silly for telling me not to drive for two weeks because I felt fine - then we crossed some railroad tracks on the way home from the hospital. Hel-lo! My innards did NOT take kindly to the jouncing around. But my husband had hemorrhoid surgery a couple of years ago, and I guarantee that abdominal surgery beats the hell out of asshole surgery, hands down! Get well soon, Lynn. Maybe you and Wally can get together at a Doper meeting and compare scars some day! * * * You’ve got a point there, brother - and one of these days I’m going to figure out what it is. - Cecil Adams [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lynns-out-of-surgery/5643.md?page=1)
