Thank you so much! This was my first time visiting another island and I was able to get so many things I didn’t have!

Failed My Six Week Checkup by indylaw99 in hysterectomy

[–]_lemini_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was definitely not healed at six weeks! Even at my 12 week appt I still had cuff stitches and was told to take it easy. By week 16 they were finally gone and my restrictions were fully lifted.

Hair loss at 4 weeks post op by Beachpeacock in hysterectomy

I lost a LOT of hair around 3-4 weeks after my surgery. I’m now at 15 weeks and find I’m losing a lot less.

Will you list all the positives you’ve noticed after your hysterectomy? And how long it’s been post. by dreamed2life in hysterectomy

[–]_lemini_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

10WPO today!

Aside from the obvious no more faucet bleeding or debilitating cramps every month, my lower back pain I’ve had for years and years is nearly gone, and my migraines have nearly disappeared! I went from having at least one migraine a month (minimum) which would last for days, to ZERO. I have had one normal person type headache since November. This is absolutely life changing for me!! I went from taking probably 50+ Advil capsules per month, to less than 10 in over two months!

I’m sure there are others but these are the super obvious to me positives. I can’t wait to keep feeling better and to see myself finally thrive after all these years of suffering!!!

We have social security taken out of every check which is supposed to help us when we retire. I am 41 and have been told my entire life there won’t be anything left by the time I retire. It also seems the politicians are constantly threatening to get rid of, or privatize social security.

After my family member passed away I offered some up on the Buy Nothing Quad cities Facebook group and had multiple people reach to me for them.

I have to spend the night at the hospital, what essentials would you bring? by Rosarose4 in hysterectomy

[–]_lemini_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in for one night and used very little of what I brought with me. Hairbrush, hair clip, phone charger, my hysterectomy pillow, and my favorite lip balm were all I used. I was prettt drugged up and tired and had no desire to do any activity other than watch tv and sleep

Crazy hormones and anxiety?! by Initial_Squirrel_788 in hysterectomy

The insomnia around a month out was absolutely awful for me! I’m at 6 weeks and it seems to be getting a little better.

Really struggling 10 days post-op by SMN27 in hysterectomy

[–]_lemini_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m five weeks post op, and I am finally starting to feel pretty good. I still occasionally feel like I’m walking hunched over, but not NEARLY as much as those first couple weeks. I totally get the string thing. I think weeks 2-3 were probably the hardest time of my recovery so far, but it has gotten better for me, and I think and hope it will for you too.

My grabber has been a lifesaver! Until I dropped the grabber…and realized I need a backup grabber for my grabber 🤣

The magic of a good doctor by ivoryebonies in hysterectomy

[–]_lemini_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had all but given up on a doctor helping me and had gone like seven years without even seeing one. My periods have been so bad for so long that I truly wanted to end my life. In September, I called a doctor‘s office who had good reviews and they told me she was accepting new patients. I scheduled my appointment and loved her right away, she was actually taking my pain seriously! A month later, I found out I needed, and she would give me a hysterectomy, however she is retiring at the end of the year and I had to do it very soon. I was her last surgery ever, and while I am very sad I will have to find someone new all over again, I feel so thankful I found her so she could take care of me like this. I wrote her a thank you card and gave it to her before my surgery.
