Update after surgery......katlillie

Well I'm spending my 5th day on the couch, with trips to the bathroom and to walk laps around the dining room table periodically. I had to have quite a bit more surgery done than was originally planned, so I have an abdominal incision that is really the only thing causing any discomfort now. I'm much better than I was, still not myself yet and I am so stir-crazy. I am a week behind now at work and at home, I am looking at a messy house and can't do anything about it. My hubby is great about bringing me snacks and drinks and helping me get up and down, but he's not likely to grab the vacuum cleaner anytime soon. What is really bothering me is this: my Doc says it's time for me to get busy having kids, because the fibroids will continue to grow and we will just have to keep doing this until I finally have the hysterectomy that is inevitable. Well, I'm 34 and thought I had more time to decide, now I feel rushed and uncomfortable about it like I have to make a decision today. I feel broken and yucky. Also scared about the eventual hysterectomy because this hurts and that's going to be 10 times worse. I know, small potatoes compared to what many people go thru, but they are my potatoes. I keep making jokes about having the "fibroid mum" on my hospital door while all the other rooms have pink and blue decorated doors, and about having my hysterectomy "one piece at a time" like the Johnny Cash song, but I will tell you all (and no one else) that it's not funny right now.
