Recovering From Full Hysterectomy Posted: 01-11-08 16:52pm
Hi
My name is April and I am 2 weeks post
surgery for full hysterectomy. I am a
little sore still, but hopefully
everything will work out. So far, so
good. I had fibroid tumor and a lot of
adhesions from former c-sections. I know
it's just going to take time, but I find
that when you start feeling better, it's
very easy to get bored. I live in a part
of Canada that is very cold right now, so
I can't even step outside without heavy
coats and boots, etc. Our vehicle is an
SUV so it is still hard to get in and out
of. Anyway, if anyone has advice or wants
to share their experience, please feel
free. I have 2 teenage sons and I work
part-time.

I know you are probably going stir crazy
being cooped up, but rest is honestly the
best thing right now. Have you been having
many problems with your recovery at all?

Not really. About what I expected. Just
very sore. I know I need lots of rest but
I think it's important to walk a bit.
Unfortunately, my house is small, and it's
winter.
I have been told that I shouldn't expect
too much this soon. Maybe in another 2
weeks I will notice a better change. I
already notice that it's a little better
each day, so I just go day by day. Thanks
for responding. I'll let you know how
this goes.

Thank you. Just found out at my follow-up
that I have a cervical infection which was
apparently diagnosed during surgery! This
is the first I heard of this. I am on oral
antibiotics now. Still a little sore, but
getting better every day!

having everything out march 20, what to do about HRT afterwards. Posted: 03-05-08 15:01pm
I'm 38, had my kids. having everything
taken out due to stage four severe
edometriosis. Adhered to my bowel,
everything. Lots of bleeding and knock
your socks off pain!! They can't save the
ovaries, so surgical menopause it is. Been
on Trelstar for two months to chill things
out. Having the hot flashes and sleep has
been interrupted. I'm nervous about the
surgery, it's surgery!! I've been told i'm
going to be very very tired and not to
lift anything!! Good advice? just today
they've put out new info on hrt, cancer
and heart issues. I'm having an okay time
with my psuedo induced menopause and i'm
considering not taking hormone
replacements afterwards, risks outweight
the benefits kind of thing. Anyone out
there struggling with the same decision or
have already made it? Any other info
would be great.

I'm still looking at options. I had the
surgery Dec. 27. So far, it hasn't been
too bad. Good luck with your surgery!
