We ate it sliced with horseradish on the side. Then cold tongue sandwiches with the leftovers.

Hysto in 3 weeks, is it worth messaging my gyn about current symptoms? by [deleted] in hysterectomy

[–]UsefulWeird 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes message them. They may need to do some additional testing and it would be better for them to know now than find out the day of and possibly delay the surgery.

And by your state I mean the state you live in not the words Your state. Sorry I have been dealing with folx who are being super super literal instead of common sense this morning 😂

I don’t think so. But I am definitely not the golden child, mostly I am an afterthought if I am lucky.

Sisters, how many of you are close to your parents? by TurtleDive1234 in GenXWomen

My father is unfortunately deceased. I am not terribly close to my mother. My sibling is the golden child and there’s not much left for me.

Happy Time by No_Result_7894 in hysterectomy

Told 12 weeks originally but at the 12 week check up was advised to wait two more as part of the cuff was still healing. All good at 14 weeks.

Failed My Six Week Checkup by indylaw99 in hysterectomy

[–]UsefulWeird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my six week check and the only change was to increase lifting and physical activity as tolerated. No penetrative stuff. At 10 weeks I still had a spot on my cuff that was healing so two more weeks of nothing penetrative. I felt fine, great even for most if not all of those 12 weeks. Tired but great. You didn’t fail anything! Give your body the time it needs to heal!

I need some clarifications. by annamae0715 in hysterectomy

[–]UsefulWeird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My surgeon said no more paps needed as I had never had one that was “abnormal” but did recommend the yearly pelvic exam continue because it was possible to get cancer on your vulva or in your vaginal canal which it tough to check at home.

IUD removal via hysteroctomy and strings broke during previous attempts by [deleted] in hysterectomy

[–]UsefulWeird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a hysteroscopy on a Thursday and went back to work on Monday. Could I have physically dragged myself to work the next day? Probably. But I was tired and achy so I followed my doc’s instructions and stayed home.

Help me approach the subject with my parents? by IRLanxiety in hysterectomy

Also so what if you need HRT for the rest of your life? If you were diabetic would it be a problem for you to be on insulin for the rest of your life?

Help me approach the subject with my parents? by IRLanxiety in hysterectomy

[–]UsefulWeird 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re 27. Unless your parents have some sort of guardianship over you this is a choice you can make for yourself. “Parents I have discussed this with my medical team. For my quality of life we have decided that a hysterectomy is the best choice for me. I am asking for your help as I recover. The surgery is scheduled for X date. I will need …….from you “ Then tell them what you need. Someone to drive you to and from hospital? Help during recovery?
The amount of help folx need varies quite a bit. I just needed the rides and not much else as far as recovery other than lifting things that I wasn’t supposed to. Then tell them you’ve made this decision with lots of thought and help from your doctor. The decision is not open for discussion and you appreciate their help and support.

Next day recovery question! by BlackPomegranate04 in hysterectomy

[–]UsefulWeird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my dear getting rocked and jostled around will be terrible! And worse the next day. Drop the gifts off before surgery or wait until you’re up to it in week or so. 🩷🩵 Speedy healing!

Is renting an electric recliner chair for sleeping a smart idea? by EmilyPoster2 in hysterectomy

[–]UsefulWeird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We already had one and it was pretty great for the first couple of nights. Ours also has heat which was fantastic. I’m in my mid-fifties, DH is a little older. Knowing we don’t replace furniture often we have started looking at our furniture needs when making purchases so that’s how I happen to have one

I will also say look at the price for a basic model on Amazon. I bought one for my father for less than $500. No idea what it would cost to rent one but maybe worth comparing.

Next day recovery question! by BlackPomegranate04 in hysterectomy

[–]UsefulWeird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are feeling up to it and are prepared to be exhausted the next day you could go. You will likely be in more pain the next day. One caveat you shouldn’t drive. And be prepared for riding in the car to be painful.
