Re: [RC] OT-For Women Only - Born CountryOh, man......I had one of those and it was the absolute BEST decision I've ever made. I had mine done vaginally, no cutting, no splicing, no stitches. When I woke up from the anastesia (sp) I thought they hadn't done anything! I was released from the hospital and told that I was only allowed to go from the bed to the couch for the next week, then after that, can only go up and down stairs once a day. My doctor informed me that often, women, because they are in no discomfort (and I mean NONE!) will try to do more than they should. That's when they get into trouble and do intestinal damage. I was riding within a month of the surgery with my doctor's blessing. I had one girlfriend that did not heed her doctor's orders and went shopping, then dancing a couple of days after being discharged from the hospital. She ended up flat on her back for 2 weeks, then a much slower recovery after that. If you elect to have the surgery, talk to your doctor about the vaginal type, then just relax for the next few weeks and let everyone wait on you hand and foot!

This is an issue coming up for me this year and I've had "bad" advice (such as people telling me I'll be laid up for weeks and weeks and to forget about riding for months) and encouraging advice (such as if I take care of myself, am as fit as I can be before and start exercising again as soon as the dr. says after, that I should recuperate quickly and be back riding "in no time"....does anyone even know how long "in no time" really is?). I would love to hear from others also who have had hysterectomies...
