Thanks, I just spoke to another co-worker, this morning. She said she'd had the 'radical hyst', and no regrets. Told me to brace myself for some irritable moods.

Though my next appointment is a week and a half away, I am waiting on his call back. Realized, if anything, I would need to do this after the 17th of July, when my son's day camp ends, as I'll be driving him to and from the city.

If I must return to work, within this 8 week 'recovery' time, good thing, is that since I won't be requesting time off from work, technically won't need a doctors note to return.

This would be my 10th surgery in my lifetime. I recovered quickly from C-sections, and physically, there's something about the way I move, that won't tug that area. My gyn's wife is, I just found out from another co-worker(she and I share the same gyn, and he was also my mom's), a nutritionist. All talk says that to get through the early hyst, to take care of nutrition now, deal with AD's, too, to help with the moods and just pace myself, the best I can.

Of course, these women, are much like myself.....rocks and just go for it! Don't like life making us stand still. Guess that's why we all do the work that we do
