Stephanie, it is so hard with things like that! My mom had severe fibroids and had a hysterctomy at 32. She resisted hard to avoid it. But between my older brothers and me there were multiple miscarriages, when I was about 2 or 3, she was bleeding non stop for nearly 1 year before the dr said, that it was her life or the potential(non existant) chance for another child. And who would care for her 3 kiddos she had already.

the surgery went like clock work, and her health improved immensely. She didn't go into early menopause, but started well in to her 50's early 60's.

Good luck, enjoy for visit to see the Pope!!!

I will! One hint - At my hospital they asked after I woke - from 1-10 what my pain level was. I decided before to say a 7 or 8. Cause they gave me something for pain and asked again - this way I had room to get more pain med.! Good thing I did this - was I got to a pain level that I said was a 3 - they seemed satisfied and stopped asking! If you say too low of a number - you run out of numbers! Hope that made sense! You will do great! I pray for your Dr.s but also for terrific nurses!

YES!, Actually I think back with fond memories about my recovery time. I know it sounds strange, but - I had spent my days in a recliner or lounging in bed or couch (but the recliner felt best! I even slept there), the kids knew enough to be careful around mom and to be awesome helpers (kids at the time were 7, 12 and 17) There was no "to do" list, no expectations besides rest. It was a completely different time as a family. . . and having the kids come ask if they could get me anything, or even spontaneously bring me water was cool. They were overprotective!

Barb, this has been my experience also. I was in the hospital for a good week and came home well rested. I had no pain to speak of the entire time. The most uncomfortable situation was enduring the hair regrowth. I had never before had to shave and it is very itchy ...
That phase is thankfully in the past.

So, after almost 4 weeks I can say that I don't feel an emptiness or hole in my being. I don't feel less feminine at all. I feel really ... good. My "mommyness" has not suffered in the least.
These were all fears of mine, spoken or unspoken, beforehand. I am very thankful.

"and His mercy endures forever"
