Two and half weeks. After TAH leaving ovaries and 3 tiny cuts from keyhole ..can honestly. Say I've felt worse the last few days with a cough /throat headache than having a hysterectomy ..still have a tiny spotting of blood and slight. Not even period type pain ..only thing getting me down is hot flushes. At night ..although could be this lurgy I've got ..hope is the latter which. Is keeping me awake ..on the plus side so far I've felt brilliant. And don't regret. Having it yet ..i haven't. Driven yet or tested the " play pen " yet ..but after this speedy recovery. I've had I'm giving positive. Vibes to you all ..at first I was under the impression. I was going to have the bikini cut ..only that I spoke to my surgeon. To see if the keyhole. Was an option ..thankfully it was ..i do believe. That having the keyhole. Definitely. Put me in a good place ..ive been cooking out with my dog ..not holding. Him ..strong staffy I have so hubby holds him ..out shopping and cleared out my bedroom ..i was the worst jelly legged patient having it done ..now I'm so glad I did atm ..i didn't. Take a walk in wardrobe. With me just the essential s ..you don't need loads ....can say although. Having another 3 half weeks of work is a bit boring I'm actually. Enjoying. Some me time ..dont be scared like me ..just go with it xx

    Thanks for the positive vibes Denise, I am T minus 41 hours for my TAH rolleyes and I think I am at least as jelly legged as you were, I'll try to focus on how much life will improve afterwards. Hope your hot flushes are just the lurgy and that you get better very soon xx

    Hi Denise...

    So sorry to hear you are a bit "under the weather" sad

    Bad enough dealing the the POST OP...

    Again.. .can only make us women STRONGER ehhhhhhh????

    Glad the OP went well..... enjoy that ME TIME... I don't think any of us really get it.. sad that it takes THIS to get us to STOP  a bit and RELAX..

    I am not 10 weeks POST OP.. or is it 11, lol.. gosh, loosing track of time now..

    I am not 100% yet... pushed myself TOOOOO much with our snow here.. I shoveled sad

    I am sore right now, just sitting sad

    But.... I have the sense to SLOOOOOOOOOOOW down when I do something stupid!

    Please be safe!  So much was done internally... we just don't see it!

    Your friend in the USA.. Mary smile
