Upcoming hysterectomy: Anyone live alone after TLH?
Hi All,
I have my TLH scheduled for July 22 for fibroids and it is possibly going to be open because of the size of my uterus and position of fibroid. I live in a four story walk-up on the top floor and I wonder if anyone had gone thru this living alone and what options for my after hospital care. My surgeon said everything will be fine but I'm am not convinced.

Re: Anyone live alone after TLH?
Is your doctor aware of the fact that you have four flights of stairs? Do you have a friend that might step in for at least a couple of days to help you out? I had a vaginal and I have done amazing...I could have made it alone if I had been forced to...but I only have like 7 steps to get into my one level home. I hope you do well but I would advise you to make some arrangements for some assistance for at least a few days.

Yes I and my advocate tried explaining that to no avail. It's frustrating.
