dVH/RALH: Anxiety fix-venting

Hi, I just need to vent. My surgery was pushed back a week. Lupron inj making me have brain fog and power surges(flash intensified), although menses have stopped; desire for sex is gone. Plus I have a draining abcess on my bottom. In the process of moving, I am not sure where I will be recovering.. I'm hoping to have the robotic surgery, doc said it was doable despite having 3 C-sections (vertical scar)and a full tummy tuck. Didn't think I would need surgery. Now I am full of what ifs. Got rid of the C-section scar 2 yrs ago. I don't want to get cut. I am keeping busy and trying not to worry; regardless a hysterectomy has to be done. Though I work full time, barely surviving. only have 3 weeks to take off. ???
Helping others is very therapeutic. I just love this site. Wishing all princesses an uneventful surgery & smooth recovery. Any replies, advice, words of reassurance will be appreciated.

Three weeks off is achievable with the da. Vinci surgery. The surgery has either 4 or 5. Small insicions Mine was 5 and. One is at the belly button and three are below. One above.

Hugs for all the stress going on around you!!

I am having the da Vinci surgery. My doctor said 2-3 weeks off of work. Then it will be light duty for the remainder of the 6 weeks. We really need to heal so that there are no complications. This will be my third abdominal surgery. First was tubal ligation. Second was appendectomy. Now this.

Good luck and see you on the other side.
