Hi Tabatha!!!!

I am sorry that I cannot answer your questions, I have yet to have my surgery. But I wanted to say hello and that my daughter is named Tabatha as well, spelled the same and everything!

I will pray for you and hope everything goes well for you!

There is not such thing as "just mourning." Your feelings are not stupid. They are normal. They are valid! I've found that a lot of us are taking anti-depressents. For me, it has really helped. I'm not crying much anymore. You might talk to your doctor and see if this is an option. This website and all of our sister's here has been a huge help. There is always someone awake. If you ever need to talk, go online. We are there for you.

I just had an LAVH done on Dec. 28, 2004, and my recovery has been fairly pain-free. Today, I showered, dressed and have spent most the day puttering around the house and spending time on the computer.

As everybody heals differently, your recovery will be a personal one. I can not give you any guidelines about that. Perhaps one of the older Princesses could help.

What I can suggest, is talking with you doctor to see if you can have him write orders requesting Home Health Care or other available assistance.

You mentioned you were military, perhaps you could contact your relief society for help. The Navy Relief (now Navy Marine Relief Society I think) does provide volunteers who can help.

Also, do you belong to any of the wives groups? Sometimes they can be an avenue of support.
