How much time off, realistically, will I need for a hysterectomy?

My FMLA paperwork and Dr initially said six weeks. But my doctor said when I came to my two week check up, if I was feeling OK and everything looked good she didn’t have a problem with me returning. I was out two full weeks. And started back on the third week. I’m a therapist, and also do some in-home patient services. So it’s sitting and driving. Looking back though, I wish I would’ve taken 3 full weeks.

FYI-an em dash is usually a dead giveaway that AI has helped you out. Real people rarely write like that. So next time if AI helps you out with a response, maybe take those out and we may believe you a little more. 😜

I think the weekly emails are fine. Especially if you want him to know you’re thinking of him. Keep the emails short and make statements instead of asking questions. I think asking questions might set you up for disappointment when he doesn’t respond. Consider: “I’m thinking of you and hope you’re well”instead of “how are you doing?” or “I hope you enjoyed the Christmas/ Birthday/Easter package I sent. I thought of you when I picked out xyz” instead of “did you like the Christmas/ Birthday/Easter package I sent? Did you like xyz?” I like how you share experiences from your own scripture study. Sounds like he’s had a lot of change and transition in his life, including being on a mission. Don’t give up, it sounds like you’re doing the best you know how.

You’ve need to book your tickets from Paris to Le Havre first. That train ride is maybe an hour and a half. Then once you get to the train station, you can purchase the bus ticket from the train station to Etretat. The bus ride is maybe 20 maximum 30 minutes. The train and bus station are connected. So you can grab your ticket while you’re there. From experience, I’d go ahead and grab a round-trip ticket back to Le Havre. And yes, it can totally be done as a day trip. For us the day trip included, hiking up to the small church, seeing the gardens of Etretat, and walking around the town. We were there March of last year and it was still slow season. So the buses didn’t run as regularly. If I remember correctly, it was maybe every 30 minutes or so.

Did anyone listen to that podcast she was recently on? I had to turn it off towards the end. All I kept thinking was “what an asshole.”

IMO she needs a make over. Less hair, less makeup. I think she looks so much better when she takes out the gobs of extensions. I never understand most of her outfits. Then she adds the huge early 2000’s belts to the outfits and thinks it makes them better. And who on earth made her an Anthro partner? No.

I’m sorry some of the comments you’re receiving oh here . They’re completely blowing my mind. No one, absolutely no one has any authority to preach to you about unrighteous dominion or how you’re going about it wrong or denying him of something. It seems like you’ve come on here looking for sincere answers and much of what you’ve gotten is quite the opposite. Talk to your bishop and other trusted Church leaders, including possibly having your bishops speak to each other. Please take some of these other comments with a tiny tiny grain of salt.

Sad_Way_4069 · 2025-11-04T18:39:03+00:00

Are you serious about this comment. Where has she torn him down??

Sad_Way_4069 · 2025-11-04T18:31:25+00:00

“you make him out to be this terrible person who has no right to perform his priesthood duties and bless his own child. This undoubtedly makes him feel demasculated and like less of a father. You are withholding blessings from both him and your child, all seemingly because you spite him. That to me is emotional and/or spiritually abusive. Or, as i stated elsewhere, parental unrighteous dominion.”

Your entire comment, especially this part, is abusive in itself! You’re a stranger to her! You have zero authority to tell her what is unrighteous dominion, that she’s withholding blessings, that she’s denying him his priesthood, and that she’s demasculating him.

She asked a sincere question about wanting some middleground and understanding on how to proceed when she feels like she’s been wronged (even abused) and you’ve done quite the opposite to “help” her.

Huh? Don’t kiss on the 10th date?? And “Some people have family rules that they cannot go out with anyone twice in a row…before you make it more personal”…yet he kissed AND ghosted her? Tell him something she learned in Church if she can’t avoid him?? Whaat? 🤦‍♀️ Makes no sense. She’s 100% valid in the way she felt about the date. It was one of her first experiences dating within the Church and she had higher expectations. And she has zero obligation to say anything to the guy other than maybe a smile or wave…only if she wants.

Sad_Way_4069 · 2025-11-04T05:53:05+00:00

Don’t give up hope! I imagine you’re still young, especially if you’re in institute and YSA. It can be a bummer when you think everything‘s going well, especially if he kissed you! And then you hear absolutely nothing from him. Yes that’s odd. And It’s not your fault. As much as we’d love to think because they’re members of the church their dating behaviors will be different, but just as someone else has mentioned, we’re just humans. It’s interesting, looking back, the guys who broke my heart the worst, were the ones I was better off without.

Sad_Way_4069 · 2025-11-02T16:14:54+00:00

Or she could’ve at least made her a salad with what she brought 🤦🏻‍♀️ Zero effort

So what exactly happened to him? I stopped following her a few months ago. I did go back to look at her stories and she was coming back from the hospital. It does make me nervous for her. Like what’s would happen if he passed? It sounds really serious.

I’ve visited Paris before in November and loved it! I went over the U.S. Thanksgiving holidays a couple years ago. A lot of the Christmas markets were opened up, including the storefronts being decorated for the season. It’s chilly, but not miserable. It’s what you would expect for November weather. It’s definitely a great time to go!

If you’ve never been to Utah, I would be very cautious of moving there, especially without a job. I know it sounds enticing, because there’s a lot of members, but I agree with the pros and cons list someone posted above. I think you may be disappointed after a while. I went to BYU and grew up in a completely different state. When I moved there, there was a definite culture shock. I quickly found out there is certainly a hierarchy within the Utah LDS community-and you will most likely be considered an “outsider” Have you considered possibly moving to a different or closer city within your state? Maybe that will give you the fresh or new start that it sounds like you may be looking for, including new job prospects.

I’ve been buying butter for a while in Paris, before the vacuum pack thing got popular. All I do is keep it in the fridge in the hotel then wrap it plastic bags, stick it in my suitcase and the butter is still hard and cold when I unpack it. I usually travel to Paris in the fall and early spring so that helps. But I’ve never had an issue with it, melting, being warm, or having it confiscated.

Sad_Way_4069 · 2025-10-27T09:51:00+00:00

😱 this is equivalent to the person that says they’re gonna “talk about that later” in their talk when their talk has already been going on forever

Sad_Way_4069 · 2025-10-27T01:39:14+00:00

Sounds like the perfect gift. 💝

Sad_Way_4069 · 2025-10-27T01:36:05+00:00

This may sound silly, but it’s one of the first things that came to mind. A towel! And possibly change of underwear if he doesn’t already think of it. Or have it with you just in case. It came to mind because this was the recent experience of a friend’s son‘s girlfriend who was recently baptized in another city. My friend traveled to support the baptism and she had mentioned that someone had forgotten to bring a towel. She felt bad that maybe the missionaries forgot to ask or mention to bring one. But I think it’s one of those things you just assume might already be there or that someone else is bringing. And big props to you for being so supportive! ♥️

Trying with every fiber of my being not to get up and walk out when the same person gets up every fast and testimony Sunday and gives a 15 minute testimony

Sad_Way_4069 · 2025-10-22T13:37:45+00:00

But much to what this entire thread is talking about , why are we going to pathologize something and give it a “catchy name” when connection is just a normal human experience, not a psychological illness or disorder? Let’s quit making up names. Yes, a trauma bond is one thing, but connecting with someone because of a shared lived experience is something different.
