Hi everyone,

I just want to let every one know that I will be having a hysterectomy on thursday morning at 7 a.m.  I have to be at the hospital at 5:20 a.m.  It seems so early for me!  But I should be home by evening. 

I won't be able to use my computer for 2 weeks because it is in the basement.  The doctor told me that I can't use the stairs for 2 weeks.  I will go crazy without my computer.  My daughter will be checking my emails just incase someone needs to reach me.

I'm planning on taking all my bear supplies upstairs so that I can create to my hearts content!!  I hope that I can finish a few bears while I'm recovering.

I'll talk to you as soon as I can,
bear hugs,
Sheila

That's a big surgery but it sounds like you're already prepared with lots of attention and TLC awaiting your return home.  I hope it's a quick recovery and that you're back in your basement in no time!

Hi Sheila,
     Best wishes for a really fast recovery.  I hope you will be able to take it easy and don't overdo it making bears.   There will be lots of time to do that when you are on your feet.  Take care and I'll be thinking about you!

                                        Hugs,

                                        Brenda

I wish you all the best for your surgery, then your recovery.  Take it easy, take lots of time to play bears.  We'll all miss you but of course we will be here when you return!

Take good care of yourself.

Best wishes to you Shelia.  :hug:  You say you will only staying one day...Wow! I was in the hospital for ten days when I had my hysterectomy done. From what you say I'm guessing your operation will be performed using keyhole surgery...am I right? There was no way I could have stayed just one day with having had open surgery!
Good luck with it all Sheila, take care and don't fret too much, we will still be here awaiting your return and waiting to see all the bears that you've managed to make. May I suggest that you get them all cut out and bagged up ready to be sewn, leaning forwards over a cutting table may be a bit sore.

Hugs Jane.  bear_flower

Very best wishes for a speedy recovery  bear_flower   bear_flower   bear_flower  I had the operation this past Feb on a Tuesday and got out on Friday. We moved the computer upstairs and I had bears cut out ahead of time that I could sew laying down when I was sore. The hardest part was waiting for the reports to come back bear_sad  Listen to your body and don't overdue it. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions or just want to chat  :hug:   :hug:

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery.



I say that because you must be having problems and like so many of us this is the only fix.

It was the best surgery I ever had and I love my OB/GYN.  I would say the surgery added a good 10 years to my life, and I didn't have any of the odd little problems that some ladies complain of afterwards.

There is a web site

:    http://www.hystersisters.com/


It is very helpful-answers tons of questions-and lets you know you are NOT alone.

Is there no way to have the computer moved upstairs too?  Just a thought.  You may find you miss us too much!

We shall be thinking of you-and adding our prayers for your speedy recovery!

 

Don't stay gone too long


Think about moving the computer......

Hi Shari,

Did you have the adominal incision?  Is that why you had to stay in the hospital 3 days?  I will be having a laproscopic hysterectomy.  They will be making 3 incision on my tummy and then removing my uterus through my birth canal (I didn't want to say the 'V' word).   :crackup:

hugs,
Sheila

Dilu,

It's comforting to hear that your surgery help you.  This is what I'm hoping for!  I hope this surgery will help me feel better.
