Hysterectomy: May 13th, 2002

thank you sister
here i am 4 days from the day. I find myself diving deep into a depression and I do not know why. I lock myself in my room when I get home, hoping I do not have to see my step dayghter. At this point it seems they just upset me worse. They have no care of what i am going through and the same goes for the rest of my family. My mom says she will be there because I was there for her through her last stay in the hospital. My dh has meen so wonderful, but even with him I feel isolated. My fears are getting the best of me and the meds the doc gave me make me want to sleep all the time, which is fine, but I want to spend all the time that I can with my two little angles (my sons). Well ladies I am eager and willing to hear any and more encouraging words from such a wonderful group of ladies.
Monday will get here faster than I can imagine and then I fear I will feel even worse and more depressed. I hope that I am wrong, but I too want to see my loved ones there and supporting me but I feel that it will not be so. I am tough and the Lord will pull me through everything. I know that he will not give me more than I can handle, yet I wonder can I handle this??
Please help!! I will probably me on for only a couple more day, because I want to devote all my time and the energy I will have towards my boys and dh.
thank you dear sisters

thank you sister
Hi, Shawna,
I'm sorry you're feeling sad and alone. Waiting is hard, and I think spending time with your family is a good way to spend some time.
Before my surgery, I also spent some special time doing things for myself. I bought some little treats (candles and music) for myself, to make my recovery more pleasant. I also enjoyed warm baths, because I knew I wouldn't be able to take a bath for 2 weeks after my surgery. And I spend time with my family, too.
I'm glad your mother and your husband are being supportive. It think sometimes it's hard for other people to understand how a woman feels before a hysterectomy, because they haven't had the experience themselves. It sounds like they love you very much.
If the medication your doctor prescribed is making you too sleepy, I'd suggest that you call and ask for a change in the dose you're taking, or maybe a different med. Lots of women ask for medications to help with depression or anxiety before a hyst, and it's important to find the right drug or dose for you.
You have many Hystersisters, and we're always here for you. We've experienced hysterectomy personally, so we do understand how a woman feels. We care about you, Shawna.
I will pray for you, and it's always OK to call on your sisters.
Sending healing hugs,
Helen

Hi Shawna
I am sorry you are feeling so scared and depressed and alone right now. We are always here for you.
This is not an easy experience to go through for anyone. And you are very young to have to go thru this.
Yes sometimes it seems as if no one understands or cares as much as we would like them to. I think unless someone has been through this, walked a mile in our shoes so to speak, that they really do not understand. But I think our family is usually doing the best they can for us in their own way.
Perhaps you could talk with your DH and mom and let them know how scared you are right now and that you could use some extra support and TLC.
And give yourself some TLC too. Try a nice bubble bath, listening to your favorite music, take a walk somewhere wonderful. You know best what uplifts your spirit. Please go do that.
Keep posting. We are here for you.
