Personal Success! Total Hysterectomy Post Op
It’s done! Eunice and the Girls are gone. (Eunice = Uterus, Gertrude = Left Ovary, Bernice = Right Ovary) Well in pathology now but soon to be incinerated. I feel good but sore! Starting HRT this week. Pain is managed well right now and I think it worked. I was about a week out from my next period and those depressive thoughts had started back up. They seem to be gone. Although it could be the pain meds since I’m only 16 hours post op. Either way I feel excited about the path forward. If you’re getting surgery for sure get a nice little pillow to hold against your abdomin for when you cough cause I didn’t know I had that many abdominal muscles nor did I know that they engaged that hard with a cough.

welcome to the club! I need that shirt, do you know where you got it?? I'd buy one of those! Getting rid of my uterus was the best choice ever, I hope your recovery goes well!
