I am 4 weeks post opp today. My sugery was done on the 10th of Novemeber and it could have come fast enough. Today I am feeling good. I have energy and feel great inside and out, yesterday was a different story, I guess it comes with the recovery though.
I have had years of pain associated with the female parts and quite frankly I had had enough. If it wasn't one thing happening, it was another.
My pain started the year after I graduated high school with my ovary starting to produce cysts. As the time went on, it wasn't getting any better and then I had a new problem: prolapsed uterus(and I didn't even have children yet). We just got married in July and then the following January I had my 1st surgery for an uterine suspension. My problems have continuted to plauge me. I have ended up with 5 other surgeries. These inclued: having fluid drained from my ovary, endometerosis, left ovary removed and endometerosis again.
As you can tell, I was getting to the point in my life that enough was enough. In the 7 years that we have been married, I have had 5 surgeries and we also had 2 beautiful girls.
It took me awhile to convenice myself that I needed a hyst if I was going to get better. After ALOT of thought, prayer and careful consideration, we decied that it would be best to have this done.
I had my RALH done on Novemeber the 10th and it was the best decision I have made for my body. There are days that harder for me than others but there are also days that I feel great and I am hurting like I was all the time.
I am looking forward to being able to lift my girls in my arms again and play with them without hurting.

Ashley
