2 and a half weeks in

I tried to go back to work one week after surgery lasted only 2 hours. Everyone is Like u have a office job what's the big deal? I took another week because I couldn't handle it I worked Monday and Tuesday and I have never been so exhausted in my life. They took everything so the hot flashes are here and bad. I am so tired of everyone saying I should be fine your young 42 I cry all the time and feel so alone I am so grateful for this site I really just don't say anything anymore and I am still bleeding anyone else with a similar experience I usually am a strong woman but this this I am not dealing with well

Anyone who tells you that you should be fine after TWO WEEKS, especially given that your ovaries were also removed, needs a smack in the head with the clue bat. (Be sure to smack the young ones twice because hey they're young, they'll be fine.)

Good heavens woman, I kept my ovaries and I was nowhere NEAR ready to go back to work at two weeks! Strong is one thing, but your body has been through a lot, and so have you!

Thank you just a emotional wreck and nobody gets it not at all If it wasn't for this site I think I would lose it

Wow I am sorry. I was supposed to go back at three weeks, but now going at 4. I still have my ovaries, but no anything else. The exhaustion is kicking my butt. People don't get it unless they have been through it. I totally get it and you aren't alone.

So sorry gHoneyHoney (((hugs))))...it's not easy ...I am at 3 weeks and still bleeding and still exhausted...not going back to work at least another 2 weeks...don't think can handle that...please hang in there...hys sisters are truly awesome!!!!

I went back to work after a week and a half because "You are young" "You have an office job so what's the problem". I felt the pressure to go back that quick. It wasn't quite a disaster, but it was not the best thing for me. I was an emotional wreck; cranky, crying, tired, sore. I have slowly improved though so hang in there. Just yesterday I was cranky with a coworker and felt so bad afterwards that I was in the bathroom crying my eyes out, and at the same time I was laughing hysterically! (It can be done, I am proof!). I guess I was laughing because I had told myself that surgery wouldn't effect me emotionally, I am strong after all! Whatever!

I was feeling alone and struggling too, (no one seems to understand how big a deal this is to us), until I found this website. Some of the posts get read to my husband, so I believe he understands better now.

Take care and hang in there.
