love to hear from others also who have had
hysterectomies...
Hi... I think everyone is different, but for me it was the BEST thing that
ever happened to me. I told the doctor that when he finally got that damn thing
out, to please throw it against the wall and stomp on it a few times before
tossing it away.
I will say, I felt like a truck hit me, but it had adhered to my bladder
(from prior c-sections I guess) and tore a hole in my bladder that had to be
repaired.
They say for a couple of weeks, don't push a vacuum or lift heavy things,
and I will tell you, I did vacuum because I had visitors coming and later I had
wished I didn't do it. I got worn out quickly. The way I felt, I did not really
care to ride a horse, haha. But after about 6 weeks, I felt good enough to ride
and did.
Your body will tell you when to start back to your regular routine.
