Had a TLH July 5. I still have my ovaries. I've been weepy today. Don't know why. Is that normal?

Re: Emotional
Hormones aside, any surgery can wreck havoc on our emotions! It is traumatic, there is anesthesia to consider, all the meds, change in sleep habits and diet that can leave our bodies a bit compromised, and more! So it is perfectly okay to feel emotional at this stage of the game!
Additionally, even though you have retained your ovaries, their blood supply can be interrupted with the removal of the uterus. Until another good blood supply is established, they may not be working as well as they should, leaving you a bit hormone challenged.
Give yourself a break and know that you body has been through a lot recently! If you can, hop in the shower and have yourself a good cry! No one can hear with the shower running and sometimes getting all the tears out helps!
As a new , be sure you are getting enough rest, drinking enough fluids, and walk as you are able. Recovery only has to be done one step at a time!

Re: Emotional
I was doing great. But yesterday in week 3 was a weepy day and I'm really down today as well. But it's because I'm looking for a job and killing myself to go to interviews and then getting calls that I wasn't hired. My first interview after surgery was 10 days after. BLAH

Re: Emotional
Dang girl, your right down the street from me, I'm in Lawton. I have gone thru alot this year so far. In Feb. I divorced my verbally abusive now EX husband and then I go to the doctor and find out I have cyst on both ovaries and endometriosis (had it once when I was 21), it had come back. I went back to work after 2nd week and physically I am getting better but emotionally, its wearing on me. I just feel sooooo alone, like I don't know what to do with myself. I am so sad and luckily I don't work a job that requires me to be happy all day because if it did I would get fired. I am just going through the motions of life not living it.
