Hysterectomy: July 22nd, 2003

is this normal
Hi there........be gentle on yourself and don't go putting unrealistic expectations on yourself.....You have just been through MAJOR surgery - I'm told it takes up to 10 wks for the anaesthetic out of yr system. Also, NO AMOUNT of mental prep before the surgery, can prepare you for the huge changes to your body.
I had my hyster in July 2003 and thought I was doing just fine...thank you!! Then on Mothers' Day 2004 (May in Aust), I fell apart big time. I always wanted, but didn't have, children - I thought I'd come to terms with this when I had surgery, but many months later I realised that something deep inside was still aching of the loss of choice.
So once again, please be very very gentle on yourself, and let out whatever needs to come out. There aren't any medals for holding things in.
Hugs from Aust
