hysterectomy with LS

I do need to just have done what needs to be done and not worry about the aftermath. Things usually aren't as bad as you think they will be. Thank you for sharing.

What very sensible advice, thank you. Remember anticipation is usually far more acute than the reality....it works for most areas in life....good and bad. It is usually never as bad as one fears... Or as great as one hopes...

I like to think what is the worst that can happen?, then think of the probability of it doing so ...the two have never coincided to date, so worry is just a waste of time

take care

 best wishes Sue

Will find out tomorrow.

Groky, you got a lot on your plate.  Not easy, but you still sound upbeat in your writing, which I admire.  

I think you will indeed do better with Glob ointment.  Remember to put on thin layers.  

Wishing you WELL.

Thank you Hanny.

Hi groky will this be open surgery or is it being done vaginally. I have a prolapsed bowel and bladder (had hysterectomy 10 years ago) which is being repaired vaginaly in May. I have LS and LP and am concerned that the LP will be made very sore with all the interference, it's bad enough already.

Hi nannylin, this will be n open surgery for the hysterectomy.

Will cut through lower part of stomach above pubic hair line.

Then he said for the bowel prolapse, they will put my feet in the

stirrups and do that making a cut from just below the vagina to

the rectum and make the repair. I'm going to be one sore lady

for awhile. I hope my LS won't be a problem. Going to try to get healthier and mentally ready for the surgery. This site helps

tremendously and all you and the other ladies.

Sending you strength and wishing you WELL.

Jackie, like to add a small note to your writing.  It is my experience that all our body parts are linked.  After my hysterectomy my thyroid never wanted to be balanced again.  (Till there was the discovery that the adrenals didn't work as they should.  Thyroid and adrenals need to be in balance with each other.)  I would suggest Groky, to keep observing self carefully as to see what kind of changes will be happening in your body. (I had a total hysterectomy) Observe, for instance, the estrogen levels.  

I'll do that. As far as my thyroid, had it out years ago but thyroid levels good with levothyroxin.

hi hanny

i've got an underactive thyroid ...think its the autoimmune version...i'm looking at a number of issues that together might amount to the root cause...and i assume this LS is linked?

Of what I understand is that both LS and thyroid problems are auto immune diseases. Often more than one auto immune disease occurs in one person. 

thank you so much hanny. do you have more than one A I  disease? what about a methodology to stop further progression?

Working on it. (ha)  With all the various 'helps' like supplements, hormone replacement,  food choices etc.  

A small victory for the LP in my mouth - my dentist gave me a clean bill of health this week.  The gums looked very good.  Which means that I will keep my teeth.  All it took was:  avoiding spicy foods, brushing teeth with baking soda and do coconut rinses.  All this over a period of one year and of course continuing.  (and I'm sure that my food choices were helping as well)  They also commented on my skin, how it looks better than before.  

oh wow that is so brilliantly effervescently exciting and encouraging WELL DONE!! SO IS THAt one down and one to go? Got any other little blips??

That was enough result for the diligent work over a period of one year, don't you think.  Healing simply takes time.
