Hysterectomy Support Group
A hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus, usually done by a gynecologist. Hysterectomy may be total (removing the body and cervix of the uterus) or partial (also called supra-cervical). Although there are conservative alternatives, hysterectomy is performed for uterine fibroids, pelvic pain, pelvic relaxation, heavy or abnormal menstrual bleeding, and cancer.
I am 41/2 months post op (TAH) and we just had a wild weather ride with 60s, rain/thunderstorms/tornadoes, snow and now 20s. I have not hurt like this since about week 4 or 5.
Has anyone noticed that the weather plays a role in how they feel? Feels like my internal stitches are stretching and about to split open! I also have that tingling, pricking sensation around my incision. And let's not even talk about the size of my Swelly Belly!
I had pain on my right side and freaked a little b/c I still have my appendix. I spoke to the on-call doc last night (not my doctor) and she just dismissed me saying it doesn't have anything to do with the surgery since I'm 41/2 months out.

I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
What helped me is, my doctor suggested lying on my back and-dont laugh- using a rolling pin, gently roll over the swelly belly to reduce build up on the outside of the abdominal muscle.
Hope this gives some relief
