Had full hysterectomy August last year never had a follow up appointment. I was sent home with catheter and had to keep ringing the hospital weekly because no-one knew I had it which resulted in me having an infection that went on to my skin on inner thighs . I was admitted as it was so bad then discharged with catheter and again no one knew I had it. Then the letter came in the post stating I was discharged without a catheter.
I rang them again to be told come in Saturday morning - I got there and no-one knew anything about me. I still haven't had a follow up appointment.
I am now just a shell. My life has changed. I have been told it is the consultant's responsibility for me to have HRT. I'm a completely a different person. I've suffered back pain to point it affects my mobility. I have gained so much weight and find myself utterly disgusting. I won't sleep in same bed as my husband as I feel so embarrassed by my weight.
If it weren't for my beautiful family and brilliant husband I wouldn't be here - each day is a struggle
