I am 43 and I had a da vinci hysterectomy
march 10 with ovaries left in place (a
choice on my part, because of inherited
breast cancer risks from my mother's
side-hormone therapy will 'feed' breast
cancer). Due to endometriosis, my bladder
was connected to my uterine wall and had
to be cut away. I went back to work full
time on march 20. On march 27 I was on
the softball field coaching our 10 and
under girls. By april 7, normal vaginal
sexual activity resumed. I had no outward
stitches, only steri-strips on four
one-inch incisions-one inside my navel,
virtually unseen.
