Is there Help for DH

Hello ladies,

I'm new to hyster sister, I have very large fibroids and I appear to be about 5month along. I'm due to see my Dr on Dec 5 to set up my appointment for a hysterectomy. What type I will not know until friday. MY DH, had a good question is there any help out here for him to understand more about what will be happening to me?

Hi Catjeffrey
It looks like you have a really good DH, just let him know that the surgery you are having is very major and being a you need a lot of tlc (tender loving care) after your op, please take things easy and get plenty of rest.

Take care s Karen

Hi

There is a FAQ for hyster families (click here) that may help. You may also find some tips and hints from other sisters that may help.

Best wishes!

I plan on taking DH to the pre-op. He wants to know more so he can help. I'm glad!

You and I are in the same boat as far as symptoms. The doctor and I made the final decision to have the surgery. TAH. Tonight At supper I talked with both my dh and 14 year old DS. Without being embarrassing to much, I explained all I knew to them as to what was happening, why and what to expect. I have always done every thing around here and it will be a shock to them. My son was upset that he would have to ride the bus which comes at 5:45 am instead of me driving him. Later, he came back to the litchen and hugged me and apologized and said he would ride it as long as needed. I a wierd way, this is good for our families. I thin kthey will appreciate all we do a little better. Best wishes on all you go through.
