I'm really getting nervous. The house is as clean as it will get and groceries are bought and bags are packed. I taped movies to watch while resting and re-arranged the bedroom. I'm also having gall stones removed by another surgeon at the same time as hyster. Will they keep me in the castle longer because of this? Has anyone else had stones removed? Will the healing process take longer and be more painful? Thanks for your time and good luck to all of you and thank you so much for your useful information. It has really been a big help to know that I'm not alone. Thanks again to all of you.

HI Aline,
I had gall bladder surgery once and typical recovery time of any surgery where they cut you open is about 6-8 wks. Sounds like your getting two surgeries for the 'price' of one healing time!
I am nervous as well, although a date hasn't been set, I do have a counseling appointment this Friday, 9-7-01, and after my questions are answered I plan to schedule my surgery.
I've been reading many post's this afternoon about other women being just as scared as we are. It makes me feel better knowing that there are other WOMEN who know what I'm going through.
I just keep telling myself that by January of 2002, when my first foal is due to arrive, that all of 'THIS' will be a distant memory!!
I keep trying to stay focused on the fact that I will FEEL normal again and that I will have energy to do what needs doing. If I have to continue to live life 'as/is' then I may as well get a wheelchair and just retire! <G>
Since I can't see doing that I will 'suck it up', have this done, take my time while I heal, and enjoy life again when it's all over!!!
Hugs for you, Bev

Hi Aline!!
You are very organized by the sounds of it and all ready for a restful, comfy recovery.
Its a good feeling I am sure to be this ready this far ahead of time.
Being nervous is very normal, and you are definitely not alone here.
I can't help with your questions regarding the gall stone surgery, but I would think you will heal from that surgery right along with your hysterectomy surgery. I am sure they can give you that info at your pre-op appt. if you have one scheduled.
You may also want to ask about this on the post-op board in case any of the ladies there have had that work done at the same time as well. And you could even do a search on the site using gall stones as keywords and see what comes up from past discussions.
Best of luck to you with your surgery!!
Hugs,
Maria
