After 3 year of treatment, including esmya my gynecologist had decided I need a hysterectomy. My fibroid has grown to 18.5x16.5x 14 I look about 7 months pregnant and its beginning to effect my breathing. I am really scared. Not a good idea to look at images on web sites. Anyway, this may seem like a daft question, but what is the best thing to wear in hospital. I am going to have a vertical incision and not sure how pj's will effect my wound. I never wear skirts or dresses and practically live in jeans and leggings. Would this be ok post op. This may seem like really stupid questions, but I have no one to ask about such practicalities. Would love to hear about your experiences. Thankyou

Hi Lesley
the hysterectomy was the best thing for me, I am now my old self again , everything has healed and I am completely pain free !
I can relate to our fear , there are always risks with surgery, but I truly believe our mind set plays a bit part in the recovery , yes , there were times when I thought Oh I'll just carry the dinner tray through to the kitchen, and at the time my stomach wouldn't hurt, but when I laid down at night , I felt as though I had done too much ! So you really have to follow the advice on what you can do when and accept your body needs to heal and once I got that in my head I recovered quicker.
A final thought , I'm moving house in a couple of weeks and am now lifting and carrying boxes etc just as I would have done years ago !
Hope my words help
All the best
Maria
