Not quite sure why I feel this way...

Hello to everyone.I must say that I am so glad to of found this site.It has truly helped me in so many ways.
Today I am 1 month post-op from a Tah,kept right ovary.Went in for my 4 week check-up on the 11th and thank goodness I had my notecard with 20 questions.I don't think the girls in the waiting area were very happy when I left.Yes I did take alot of the DR time,one hour 10 minutes,to be exact,But I felt as if I deserved it and just could'nt leave with my questions unanswered.
My stay at the castle was WONDERFUL,I was truly a princess!!!!!DH has been so kind and helpful to me.Even with his plate being so full he has never lost his patience with me.Heck even with all the temper tantrums,nite sweats,Mood swings etc...etc...Thank goodness for premarin I am finally starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel.
My question is...I cry all the time.Dh is active duty military(18 years)And now of all times he is leaving to go to Iraq on March 2.
I know this is what he does and he does with the upmost pride.But I need my rock right now and I feel so stupid and selfish for feeling this way.Dh and I have have married for 12 years and yes I have been through this before.But I am just having a hard time with this one.... So ladies what I really need is someone to tell me this is not my crazy hormone jungle and that I am a person with real emotions and feelings.
Sorry so long,but I am so upset while writing this and my heart just kinda pours out...hhmmmm?wonder if anyone else out there feels this way?(ha!ha!)
thanks for for listening....
Much love,Angie
Pray for our troops!!!

Aw, Angie, the thought of my husband shipping out to Iraq in a few weeks would make me cry all the time too, even without the hyst, and hormone weirdness. You are normal...

I so appreciate the sacrifice of our servicemen, AND their wives in serving their country. I know it must be really hard on you both. How long will he be gone? I am going to be praying for you both.

Angie, I'm so sorry you are going through this. Your DH leaving for Iraq is bad enough, but at this time, of course it makes you emotional!!! You need to give yourself a break and don't be so hard on yourself.

God bless you and your DH!

Just read my post and noticed that I forget to mention that he is leaving for 7 -14 months.How considerate is that?I can deal with 7,but 14 months just seems like eternity.Would someone please tell me how they would feel?

Angie,
Your feelings are absolutely normal with your body adjusting to the hyst or not this is a very emtional time for you.My DH was in Iraq for 12 months he was away from home for 14 months.It was very hard on our family emotionally.
I was very much like you...I couold just look at him & cry.It was very hard explaining to our little ones.We did get through it hard as it was...I did have to see my doct for depression while he was there & anxiety.Also the family support group helped alot...other woman(much like this website) sharing the same feelings being single parents,etc.You may want to join if there is one available.
I will be praying for your hubby as well as you & your family...I thank both of you for your huge sacrafice ...yet another HERO!!
God Bless our Troops & thier families!!!!!!!

How would I feel? I would be devastated not to be able to see my husband for 14 months! Seven would not be much better! I don't know how you do it. What can I say? "I hope the time passes quickly for you" sounds so terribly lame....

Angie

You have every right to feel the way you do. You love your DH dearly and he has to leave you for a while. You have been through alot with the surgery and feel you need your DH with you and you do. He has given you much needed emotional support throughout this ordeal.
Just enjoy the days leading up to his departure and know he will always be with you in your heart until he comes home.
It is normal to be emotional for a while after your hysterectomy, so your DH'S departure just makes it worst.

Hang in there. It will be ok.

Angie,

Be strong...and, yes, your feelings are VERY normal. Please tell your DH thank you from me for his service to our country. I pray for our troops daily and I will add you and your hubby to my prayers.

I really admire you...you are a stronger princess than me...

Like the others said, your feelings are very real. I have been struggling with some of the same questions. My grandma dies while I was in the castle and I have questioned whether my grief was hormone related or just genuine greif. Truth be told, it could be a combination of both. Either way you are dealing with a lot and yes will be sad. We are all here for you. HUGS
