Re: Total Hysterectomy
First and probably embarrassing as well but were you given stool softeners or were they recommended ? If not that may be a problem,i had a tah 4 weeks ago and I remember the abdominal pain and was grateful for them.Vicodin will harden stool causing severe abdominal pain especially around the incision.Hope it helps,but if that is not your problem then I suggest you call your doctor.

Total Hyst
I am 41 years old, had cervix, uterus, ovaries and all removed. Have a very long history of cancer in the family from breast to ovarian/uteran; also already have fibrocystic disorder myself and am being monitored for breast cancer. The average age for all is 40 in my family. I don't have the will anymore, but they don't want me to take anything. My husband has had colon cancer and they did alot of extensive surgery and told us he might not be able to perform anymore, but his drive came back; mine has not just from this. I try but don't know what to do.

We have just gone through a tragic happening with one of our friend's child...This is a 12 year old child...Leukemia...It is bad...All the cancer treatments that this boy has had to go through and still fight has taught me a new lesson in life...He fights for every day just as you should...Each day is a new beginning...You could live for years...You could do some wonderful favor by talking with women about your struggles and help them...New hope is being found every day....Cherish every moment of your life...You are young and how do you know that improvements won't be made to help you...

I believe you are talking about your sex drive...Try doing what I do...Have a couple drinks first if you want to...I don't drink as I use medication for high blood pressure, but if this relaxes you than do it...Then in your mind go back to dating..Think of the time that your man invades your mind and body...Think of his fingering and all that went with it...Make your old dreams your now dreams...Honey, I go there all the time...

Be happy and live...You are one of the lucky ones...You are still alive...

I send you all my love and hopes for a wonderful long life...

Caroline
