I just visited my surgeon and He seems to think that sometime in September I will be having my surgery. I am excited and scared at the same time. One part of me feels that maybe it was God telling me NOT to have it, and that is why all these things came up, but at the same time I wonder if my mind in running amok due to not wanting to get my hopes up and have them come crashing down again. Well I have a few months to ponder it.<P>In any case I am elated and yet worried. Please pray for me as I walk this road so many of you have already walked. Love you all. God bless...........Love missy

Well all I had my abdominal hystorectomy one week ago yesterday. I am having some pain but not much. The procedure was supposed to only last 1-2 hours, but it took me 4.......of course......I can never do it the easy way. LOL..... I threw up right out of surgery, which was extreamly painful, but havnt since. I was allergic to the moraphine they gave me and broke out in hives all over and I felt like I wanted to itch my nose right off my face. They took care of that as well. My surgeon was wonderful and was sure to make sure the hospital was taking great care of me.<P>Just thought you might like a little update. Thanks for all your support....LOVE MELISSA BLAKE

Melissa, please don't worry about the after effects of your hysterectomy. I had a complete one when I was 39 years old. Did things change for me? You bet!! No more painful periods. No more dreadful PMS. My husband and family are very grateful for that one. Did it make me feel less a woman, pardon the french but hell no it didn't. I am free!!! Sex became better and I am definately a lot nicer. Good luck dear!

Melissa, I had a full Hyst. in Aug. of 1999 at 35 years old. I know EXACATLY how you feel. It does take time to come to terms with those feelings, but you will discover with time, that you will. I am still very much a woman.. just not having to deal with the "problems" of being one :) It is a long recovery. Not so much from the pain, that goes away realtively quick, but you will be TIRED.. for what will seem like forever. You will feel physically better before you get your energy level back. Be prepared for that. It is totally normal but gets very frustrating towards the 4-6th week of recovery. My intimate relations with my husband have not suffered at all (in fact got better in alot of ways)so don't have that fear, my husband was very accepting of the surgery, and never once has shown any different reactions to me since then ( I had alot of fear that he would even though he reassured me he wouldn't). Please feel free to e-mail me any time with questions or concerns. I would be happy to just listen or answer any questions you may have. You will be fine...it will take some time, but you will :) You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Peace be with you. Tammy

Hi Melissa,I will be praying for you on your hysterectomy. It is not that bad, but I understand your feelings about being less than a woman, I had one on May 16,1997. My blood count was also very low I am very anemic, but I had lots of liver with onions and I ate lots of beet and beens not soo good if you don't like it but within two weeks my count was up. I also ate lots of plaintins it is like a green banana, You boil it with the green skin in some salt water and when it becomes soft you mash it with butter, just like potato. Taste great and loaded with iron. Melissa,you will not feel any less of a woman, because of this hysterectomy. Your private life will not change, believe me, that will not change, if you get what I mean. I will pray for you to have, a speedy recovery, but you will be fine. All woman that is what you are and will always be. GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU SAFE, don't be affraid he is always with you.

Dear Melissa~~~~I have kept you in my prayers for a number of months now and I was glad to read you most recent post. It is good to know that you will be able to have both surgeries with special precautions taken. May God continue to watch over you Melissa. Be well, be happy, be blessed.

I am sorry to hear about your misfortune.I know this sucks,but there are options.Get a second opinion if you think it will help.You are in my thoughts and remember,not everyone understands how it feels to be heavy,but everyone here sure does!

Melissa, I know you are feeling really down right now, but don't give up, God does not close a door when He doesn't open a window. Find a good internal medicine doc, and get a referral to a heme/onc if needed, they are the people who specialize in blood disorders. It's not over until it's over, and it certainly doesn't appear to be over yet. Go out, walk with your friend, the fresh air will make you feel better. Keep us posted, and best of luck to you.
