Tomorrow is nearly here

Well tomorrow is the BIG day, I have been fighting for nearly five years for this and now I'm a mixed bag of emotions, wanna cry, tired, apprehensive and unsure. I have to be in hospital for 7am in the morning I don't know what time my op is but I do hope I don't have to wait too long, ARGH!!!

Try to get out today and do something enjoyable. Hopefully your early arrival means you're the first surgery. Tomorrow will be the start of your healing journey. Cheers

As a fellow TLH-er... I know you you are going to do just fine! Just be PATIENT with the recovery. With TLH you don't really feel like you had surgery because your external incision are so tiny and many of us don't even feel pain at all in the vaginal/groin area (which is odd.. I would have expected to feel that)..... but it's important to remember that you just had major surgery - visible or not. And of course, you will feel soreness in your abdomen for a few days.. I felt sore like I had done 500 sit ups. You will have a big incision inside that must heal .. and it will zap a lot of your energy for weeks. Just take it easy and don't overdo.

The best thing I did post surgery wast to get on my recovery thread with other women who had surgery my same week. (When you are out of surgery and feeling up to it.. Go to the blue bar above, go to "quick links" and drop down to "your surgery thread.") It's sooooo nice to chat with women who are in the exact same boat at the exact same time. I am pretty sure it saved my sanity. If you are unsure about something that is happening to you, just get on your thread and see if others are experiencing the same thing.

Hugs and best wishes for a great recovery!

Thanks. That's great advice will definitely check it out

You will do great. It will be all done and over with before you know it. I am 11 days post op and I am doing good for the most part still have some pain but it is manageable

Tomorrow will fly by, believe it or not! I thought i would be sitting around in the waiting room, but no! They moved quick, and the next thing i knew, i was back in my room! You will get through it and we are right here with you! Wishing you peace, good health and a successful surgery!

Mine is also scheduled for tomorrow! I am scared to death and I just found out last Monday that I would need one- due to tumor,fibroids and cysts... I am scared to death of being put to sleep and I am so unsure!!!!!!

Mine is tomorrow as well. Good luck to all of us!

Good luck to all of the sisters scheduled for surgery tomorrow!
Just know that we are all here to support you before and after your hysterectomies. This community has been a complete Godsend for me and my recovery.

Best wishes! I'll see you on the other side in your recovery thread! I had a mixture of emotions the night before I ended up putting all my thoughts in a journal which seemed to calm me somewhat
