by Kathy Kelley
ISBN: 097088480X
Publisher: Hyster Sisters, Inc
From the author: After spending years researching and gathering information before my hysterectomy in June of 1998, I found that no matter what resources I had, I needed more! Being an internet junkie, I went online to find some helpful hints for my recovery process. I wanted more than medical brochures. I wanted reassurances that the funny aches and pains and the odd smells were normal.
The book: Through the Land of Hyster, the Hyster Sisters Guide is from the website. It has frequently asked questions that women ask. It is not intended to be medical information or to take the place of a personal physician, the book along with the website is intended to be a comfort and a companion through the difficult choices and decisions we must make along the way. It is all about women helping women. Included in the book are checklists, humorous anecdotes and reminders of life's blessings. It also contains "Bedtime Stories for Hyster Sisters" with photographic illustrations from the Land of Hyster.
This book is neither anti-hyst or pro-hyst in nature. Rather, it is a book of kindness with medical concerns that each woman faces when she is told by her doctor that a hysterectomy may be an option.
