@susan1715 You definitely will not be riding a bike after the hysterectomy. 😆

It'll take you for weeks to heal, so be sure to have a lot of bone broth and other nutritional soft foods to eat too make going to the bathroom easier because the pain pills are necessary to take a prescribed and will make you constipation, unfortunately. A tip someone gave me was to walk back and forth across your room s couple of times when you get up to go to the bathroom. Light walking, as many steps as you can tolerate, given the pain, is good until the the second week of recovery passes. You will feel much better by the fourth week. However, remember not to lift anything over 10 pounds. Start strong with good nutrition. Soups and cereals like oatmeal are great. God bless you!
