Hi, I just needed support and comments on having a partial hysterectomy. I have to have one done due to my uterus prolapsing and having a fibroid the size of a 12 wk pregnancy. I'm 38 and have a grown son, no other children were on the horizon of dreams. I know it has to be done and just going through RN school I know all the book knowledge about it.
I just wanted to have some input from other nurses who had this done and other nurses that specialize in this area, as to how personal life is afterward and how it will affect my job when I return back to work at the beginning. I know it takes 6wks to recover but those first few weeks how will I feel?
It is one thing to be the caregiver but now I'm going to see what it is going to be like on the other side of the bed.
Thanks for your info.
