Hi! I am a few weeks out from my hysterectomy and excision surgery (diffuse adeno, stage 2 endo, lots of adhesions). I’m generally feeling well. I get very tired but otherwise really doing well. I am finding it hard to accept that I will be well now. I am scared that everyone expects me to be “normal” now and that I will fail at it. It has been years and years of adjusting my life and activities just to get by. Sometimes finding the energy to “try again” and then have to stop/fail. I am looking for advice/stories of people who generally feel good again after surgery and how they got back to life after years of chronic illness.
For more info: I’m 50 yo, in perimenopause, and still have my ovaries. I will start HRT soon and pelvic floor therapy as well.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
