Yesterday, I ordered something that I will count as in, but I am not sure once it is made if it is for me or my son. I ordered a Go Forth Goods Fanny Pack in Saddle leather.
Your labubu is so cute. Where do you get them. I would love to have one of those cute little guys hanging from my easel.
At the moment I’m just having a hysteroscopy under general anaesthetic-but the results of the scan are showing that a hysterectomy will be indicated…
I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.
You are a strong and very disciplined woman. You will be fine. The surgery will come and go. It will stop your problems. As a dancer you know how to religiously follow rules so recovery should be textbook fine. I bet you ace at organisation, too.
I assume you have a fine doctor you fully trust. He says you will be fine, doesn't he?
Please try to hand yourself over faithfully to what has to be done and don't make it harder for yourself by worrying and pondering the what ifs.
You will be fine!
Yes, I have an excellent doctor, whom I fully trust.
He says I will be absolutely fine-in fact I was admitted for hysterectomy in 2022, but sent home as my white blood cells were too low, and my blood cells not clotting, and by the time my blood work was fine, my symptoms weren’t bothering me.
Thank you for both your confidence and support!❤️
I’m so sorry. If it helps, I had a hysterectomy (not laparoscopic) and I was able to do things. You just plan ahead so you don’t lift heavy things for some weeks after and you learn how to roll out of bed.
I walked home after a night in the hospital and I could make a simple dinner. I had a scooter from ankle cartilage replacement surgery that I used to grocery shop (so I didn’t carry bags). I found it helpful not to read about hysterectomy procedures on line. And, re recovery, I walked a lot
Hope you are okay
ETA: @cecchetti , the hysterectomy website unduly scared me, and I didn’t find my experience was what they described. Just plan ahead so you aren’t lifting large bags of food for your cats. Also, if you tend to keloid scar, tell them ahead of time; ask if a shot of kenalog is possible; and remind them right before the procedure. Not bleeding anymore; no cramps; no untoward bloating and other changes made this worth it. IMO, a mini pill has helped me tremendously to smooth out menopausal hot flashes and help with other things afterwards etc., but that’s your call
I second @880. Recovery is not nearly as bad for most as online forums make it seem. I would suggest listening to your doctor and avoiding patient online stories.

DH having radiotherapy before surgery
My heart is with you and DH-please update when you are able to..❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Also, please don’t give Everything to charity-I still want to come and play dress up in your closet one day!!
@cecchetti, I second what @880 wrote. I put off a hysterectomy for way too long. Even with some complications following surgery that turned my outpatient procedure into a three-night stay in the hospital, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. So, so much better than everything I was dealing with before it.I’m so sorry. If it helps, I had a hysterectomy (not laparoscopic) and I was able to do things.
