These things are *needs* for a hysterectomy

I am not a dr. I am just someone who recently evicted her baby bucket.

Healing from a womb removal takes time, and technically, you do not need "things."

You will get through it.

It takes way to damn long.

Support groups are great, but remember that people tend to post when things go wrong. There are more uneventful surgeries for every horror story.

Chores like vaccuuming and dishes are on the no list fyi

Avoid bending.

If you start having wild mood swings, get your hormones tested even if you keep the ovaries.

Most of all, be kind to yourself and remember why you agreed to it.

They don't hand out hysterectomy surgeries like candy, you may have complications, but you know you would regret not trying to help your body if you didn't try.

It is okay not to be okay and normal to feel regret,anger, and sadness. It is also normal to feel relieved, and even some people regain libido. Some loose libido.

You are valid no matter what. You have got this.
