Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better! Wow, you went through a traumatic thing with your body, and you're lucky to have family to help you get over this.
I am facing major abdominal sugery soon myself for a very large fibroid, and I wish I could have laparascopic surgery, but I'm not so lucky. I will have a very large scar right up the middle.

I'm going in for a second opinion next week, but the surgery is inevitable. I'm hoping to be able to keep the organs God gave me, but we shall see. This has all been so heavy on my mind. These kind of things just don't happen to me.
So, thanks for sharing your experience with us!
From the message boards I have been reading lately ...
They say it helps to walk a lot (go shopping or just walk down the road) and that helps to get things moving along.
And most everyone says they feel so much better once they have healed up, and you will so appreciate (and NOT miss one bit) your painful, heavy monthlies!!!
I'm wishing for a fast and uneventful recovery for you. Stay strong!
