Thought I'd share this health tip that I just found out about myself: if you have suddenly become overweight and have a heavy feeling it's possible you're retaining fluid somewhere in your body which medically is called "Edema" read up on it and check with your dr. if you believe this is going on. Remedy: A prescribed diuretic.

2: no heavy lifting until your surgeon clears you which should be around four weeks from date of surgery

4: rest as much as possible(limit to much exertion for about a week or two

After care and Healing after a hysterectomy
I read a post today on twitter where a woman had a hysterectomy and felt no compassion for what she had just encountered.
I say how unfortunate because I had great compassion after my hysterectomy back in 2006 however, who is anyone to not show one compassion when they've just gone through a life changing event. Remember, they can no longer have children if they one day wished to, they now have to take hormone replacements and so forth. I say show compassion for one day you may walk in our shoes and you'll want compassion.
Keep your heads, spirits, faith up my fellow friends who walk this road. Know that you're not alone in this battle.
Endo is a beast but we can't let it win at whatever costs that may be.
FYI: my condition has changed meaning the Endo has began to travel but my faith, hope and perseverance will get me through it.
Let no doctor tell you that this disease isn't serious for it is. Continue your research so you'll become more educated about your desease and know that I'm here if you have any questions.
