Its been 6 weeks today and went for the visit with the doc. Everything is good thank god and he said I could go back to a normal life. Which is great news! When I left his office I felt so thrilled,finally over,by the time I got home I was like wow, normal how cool.. After thinking I realized I need to go slow with this. I cant just jump back in to normal. I have done nothing in all this time,so Im totally worried how to be normal if that makes any sense.
I will call the job today and let them know I will come back to work in 2 weeks, I need to get some strength back.
Im still sore as hell,swollen and still very afraid of hurting myself.. normal.. slow and easy I say!! I dont know if I was ever normal lol.. but I will do the best that I can see what my limits are. I thank all of you wonderful ladies for letting me vent and read some of your experiences, it made me feel so not all alone and afraid. Thank you,thank you..I wish all the very best and pray for all of our recoveries and hurdles in the future.

" That is what I love about this site. So many women going through Hysterectomys for what ever reason. You hear of all the horror stories or are very affraid and you have every right to be. The supprot is great and I can say I couldnt find support anywhere when I was going through my hard times before my hysterectomy. I now support other women going through there Hysterectomys. You are now a free woman and Im so happy for you. Its a great feeling but yes, you still have to take things slow. It takes a long time to heal completely! Take care xxStaci "

" Staci, You are so right, there are so many horror stories out there & so many people want to tell you of them lol.. That in itself can scare the hell out of you, This was a god send to me. I honestly felt that this made the whole entire process a little easier, I had no help from my family, just my kids and I couldnt vent to them.If one more person I knew said to me get over it, its not so bad, why you still hurting etc. I think I would have hit them. No one knows what you go thru until they go thru it themselves which is normal and sad. This site and you woman helped me so much that I cant even begin to express my thanks. I hope other woman find at least some comfort here too. Too bad the doc's dont recommend this site when they say the dreaded word Hysterectomy. And one more thing. I wish that woman didnt feel that they are any less a woman having this done. If anything having this done to us makes us stronger women than most!! "
