What They Don't Tell You- Life After a Hysterectomy
Before I had my Hysterectomy, Everyone said how great I would feel afterward. "It was the Best thing I ever did" was the most commonly heard phrase. I think people just want you to join the Secret Hysterectomy Sisterhood.
Well I have now found out the secrets. My new sisters suck!
Everyone know about the hot flashes. For me, they were not as bad as I expected. I did however decide to take hormones. I might change my opinion when I decide to stop take them.
The worst surprise, weight gain. A lot of weight gain. Four months later there was not a piece of clothing in my closet that came close to fitting anymore.
Next is my hair. Before the surgery, my hair was straight. Now, it is curly. Not a pretty curly, a frizzy, course mess. My new style is a frizzy ponytail. Very attractive!
And finally the worst. I went in to surgery feeling young still. I came out an old women. Seriously, I feel like I have aged 30 years. I have aches and pains all over. I am constantly tired. I am ready for bed before the sun goes down.
I am now a fat, old, frizzy ponytail wearing, member of Secret Hysterectomy Sisterhood. Yeah!
"Join us, it will be fun", they said.
I hate them
