@mary64300. Your appointment with the gyn-oncologist was yesterday and surgery was scheduled for today. You may be prepping for surgery as I write this. I want you to know that I have been thinking of you. You are surrounded by the Mayo angels who will take good care of you. Will you come back here when you are ready and let us all know how you are feeling?

@pugpeople. Thank you for sharing this with everyone. May I ask the reason for your hysterectomy? Had you been diagnosed with uterine cancer like the other members here? Your post laid out what we need to know about hysterectomy recovery. My recovery was very much like yours and within a week I still had some fatigue but felt very much myself again. I did everything I was advised including no heavy lifting - the nurse told me nothing heavier than an average grocery bag. Of course she did know how I load up my canvas grocery bags but that's OK! I knew what she meant. Will you let me know what your doctor says when you return for your follow-up?
