Same as Fharraige only a year later. Mine was laparoscopic but they did cut the cervix out and removed everything intact through that hole.

I did need help at first and stayed with my mom for a while. My recovery was a bit slower but that was partly related to being extremely limited in what I could take for pain so that I was on vicodin longer than typical.

Hystersisters is very helpful

One of the things that I remember being told that helped a lot was to buy Vasserrette support underwear at walmart. they are very cheap there and were more comfortable with the extra support in the early days.

I hope you get some good rest and feel less overwhelmed.
