Hey everyone. I know I just posted a blog not that long ago but I felt that this should be put up also. I know that this might come as a shock to most people seeing that I am only going to be 25 years old this year but I am getting ready to have a hysterectomy three days after my birthday. Life could not get any worse right now. I just had my tubes tied in May of this year and now this. I know it needs to be done because I am in a lot of pain almost constantly. My cycles are becoming unbearable but now I am just thinking that it is only a few more weeks away. If anyone has any advice on what to expect please let me know. I am going to be in the hospital for a few days but I am not too worried about that. I am more worried about my husband. He is a disabled veteran of the USAF and has a hard time taking care of our two oldest. Add in taking care of the youngest that is only going on six months old he is going to kill over. He is going to be doing almost everything around the house for awhile because I am not going to be able to lift more than 20 lbs. Hopefully everything will be alright. Keep us in your prayers.

Hi Pam I also had a hysterectomy early. I was 29. I wish I was more prepared and researched more but I didn't have time and it had to be done. It was a long hard healing process. I think I have a high pain tolerance. Take the pain med they offer you and don't let the pain get ahead of you. I didn't take that advice because I wanted to be tough and I had a hard 48 hours. Until the pain med finally caught up. You will need alot of help just caring for yourself for about 5 days? I am trying to remember. It does help to be active as much as possible I found that it hurt but I got better and stronger the more I did. I felt a loss too afterwards. I wasn't ready to be done having babies (obviously!!) so it was hard for me to accept and I was sad about it. The plus is no heavy bleeding which was affecting my life terribly. I am not anemic anymore. I don't have the pain anymore YEAH!! I will be thinking about you and wishing there was something I could do to make it better for you. If you have any questions contact me!
I am praying that all went well as you haven't updated your blog. How did your husband fair? Keep us updated when you can.
