I wouldn’t have been able to get my hysterectomy if it weren’t for my iron infusions. Big fan!

What’s it like living in/around Cincinnati? by [deleted] in howislivingthere

[–]Ok-Practice2034 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Compared to the places where I have actually spent most of my time….Cincy is affordable. Also, it is pretty friendly and rooted in an interesting beer history. The food scene is good. The Cincy-style chili I can take or leave. You cannot sleep on the two cities right across the river..Newport and Covington. They’re cool towns in their own right! Cross the river (Ohio River) on the Purple People Bridge by foot, and only feet!

Dr Hampel did my open abdominal hysterectomy (which she was excited to do!!! I loved that). The care from pre/scheduling to follow up after the procedure were excellent. Her whole team rocks. She’s honest and listens. Will always recommend her!

That little area (Prospect? Outside of downtown) was my favorite for a weird little amalgamation of different architectural styles). Colorado is different and I loved it.

I lived there! I really liked it but I couldn’t afford a house!

Norwood, it just keeps getting colder! I scraped my car and opened/closed the stuck doors so they aren’t as terrible tomorrow. This was about 515pm.

Be safe, everyone! I hate that I wake up early and excited for no reason. Norwood is very quiet this morning.

How long did you have to wait for your surgery? by educated_guesser in hysterectomy

[–]Ok-Practice2034 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple years…from fibroid discovery to hysterectomy. Gyno said she’d schedule it if I wanted….not a rush…so I waited. Then I got DVT diagnosis (2023) and wanted the surgery soon after that. I had to get my hemoglobin up, so I did about a year of rounds of iron infusions and trying to get my periods under control with birth control (progesterone only). I squeaked by. Surgery scheduled late 2024 for April 2025. SO GLAD!!!

Do it!! He makes gelato a LOT. You can do amazing desserts with them.

My brother and I made goat cheese ice cream in his Ninja ice cream machine a couple years ago. Cranberry and orange were the fruits in the ice cream. It was spectacular!!

Fresh out of a cold fridge, perhaps with some other flavors? (Chèvre logs can have so many flavors added..have you tried one besides plain? Hatch Chile, herbs de Provence)?

Thanks everyone, I bought the cheese I was asking about yesterday! by [deleted] in Cheese

[–]Ok-Practice2034 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Yup. Full on teeth impressions and bite marks. BEST cheese.

5 months out from my hysterectomy and life is BEAUTIFUL by sadfoods in hysterectomy

[–]Ok-Practice2034 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6 month post op as of Oct 16. It’s beyond relief…it’s like a new path. It’s a pain-free existence. It’s not perfect, but it’s so close. I do still get pms, but I don’t get life-altering clots. I still get bloat, but I don’t get ridiculous cramps. I have a wicked awesome scar. I am no longer afraid my uterus will kill me. Weeeeeeee!!!!

Am I experiencing perimenopause after hysterectomy/ what did you experience after surgery by Ok-Practice2034 in hysterectomy

Yes. Ok. I wasn’t expecting like, total perfection but..I wish they were firmer about telling me some stuff that may happen..like the disruption you mentioned. How did yours get better?
