I'm really glad to hear you are feeling good.

I had a hysterectomy 17 years ago. I had all the horror stories before I had the op but it was absolutely fine. I had 6 days in the local BUPA hospital, which was like being on holiday in a 5* hotel, then came home. I had "off days" for a week or two but went from strength to strength and was back at work 8 weeks later. They were good to me and let me work part-time, on full pay, for 6 weeks and then I was completely back to normal. I've never looked back since then.

Take every day as it comes. Don't try to rush things and, if you feel tired, lie down and go to sleep. Accept every offer of help that comes along as well as every bunch of flowers, get-well card, box of chocolates and bottle of wine. If the offers don't come - drop hints, loudly.

Best wishes and good luck.
