Re: 3 weeks post hysterectomy: kept ovaries but still emotional
Antonia I think it's normal to be emotional still. It could be that your hormones are still trying to balance themselves out. Your body has been through a lot and probably is still getting adjusted. Talk to your doctor if things are not seeming like it is getting better.
Here is a link for Recovery Progress Reports May 5-May 11 that has ladies that had surgery the same week as you. It helps when you see that some may be experiencing the same things as you at the same time as you and that you are not alone in your feelings and experiences.
in there, it won't always be this way.

Re: 3 weeks post hysterectomy: kept ovaries but still emotional
Hey there, I had my surgery on the 7th of May. I still have both my ovaries. I've been a little weepy eyes because I see my husband doing so much for my recovery that I fill up with more joy and graditude then before or at least I can feel it more. I don't cry because I lost a part of myself because I don't want any more kids. However, I do have the ability to feel more then before, if you understand what I mean. So just stay positive and optimistic. Things are going to get better with each passing day. Sit outside and take in some fresh air. But if things do get worse for you, talk with your doctor and see what they think. Take care of yourself and don't do too much. Enjoy a restful recovery.

Re: 3 weeks post hysterectomy: kept ovaries but still emotional
I understand that feeling of emotions too. I am having a rough day because I'm back to work and it just exhausts me. When I get home my husband doesn't help at all now because I look normal.. but I don't have the energy to clean. They say it's normal with hormones,but it's frustrating when you have things you want to do ,but just aren't able to do them.

Re: 3 weeks post hysterectomy: kept ovaries but still emotional
Right there with you all. Had my LAVH May 12th. Still weepy somedays too. Also back to work and people think I am back to normal. Well, I feel better than a few weeks ago!! Thank goodness I have a co worker who has had one and my mom too. I absolutely love this site and it is wonderful to know we are all in this together. I have finally told myself that I am gonna slow down and do what makes me feel better. If that means cry, rest I am gonna do it!!

Re: 3 weeks post hysterectomy: kept ovaries but still emotional
I had my surgery the same day as you. My Dr. Already put me on a low dose of Estradiol. I kept both ovaries, and by two weeks post op, I was having Hot Flashes, Mood Swings and crying at the drop of a hat. My hubby has been so awesome through this whole process. From what other women have told me, this is not unusual at all.

3 weeks post hysterectomy: kept ovaries but still emotional
I snapped at my husband for this very same reason yesterday. I have good days and bad days. I'm only 5 Weeks post op and by the time I'm done working I'm beat. I'm the only one who sees the floors that need to be vacumed or mopped or the trash thrown. Drives me crazy on top of having my hormones out of whack.
