I've given my enema and I'm ready! I go in at 9 and surgery at 11. Hopefully it will just be an overnight but if it is cancer, thet will change it to an abdominal incision and I stay in the hospital longer.

I had my "hyst" years ago for a big old grapefruit size tumor and had an abdominal incision. If I had it to do over I would have had the smiley face bikini incision since they heal faster. See if that is an option for you.
I was just thrilled to have the trouble making, expensive parts GONE and even more thrilled when I could walk past that aisle in the grocery store!! WOO HOO!!! Remember: No housework for 6 months or however long you can get away with it.

Please know that you'll be on my mind Doydie.
I've had one of those ops myself, so I know what you'll be going through. Mine was done vaginally so I don't even have a scar!

Hi Doydie,
Best wishes with that surgery tomorrow. I had an abdominal hysterectomy in January 2007 for uterine fibroids. Really glad to have that behind me. I was worried about MS flaring up, but didn't have any MS issues with the surgery. I hope all goes well with you!

I am sending out prayers for your surgery. my wife had her Hyst. 5 years ago and she used the "no housekeeping" recovery excuse until last month, was that too long? lol.
good luck and I wish you fast healing.

Hi Doydie,
I'll say a prayer for a good surgery and no cancer. I had one in Dec 2000. I had a big grapefruit fibroid too, and endometriosis in my ovaries and abdomen. I also had the long cut so I have a big scar. I also hope you'll get the little bikini cut (or even tiny incisions) and be up and around in no time.
