Hysterectomy.

I had a total hysterectomy twenty years ago because fibroids were making my life a misery. You will feel very very tired afterwards but because the problem has been dealt with you will soon feel well although it takes quite a while for your strength to return. You won't be able to do any lifting and even small tasks like washing your hair will leave you exhausted so make sure you have help with everyday tasks.

As soon as I could I began walking to get fit. After about six weeks you realise it's all behind you and you are feeling much better than before.

Don't be scared. It will be the beginning of your new life!!
