What a difference

[kandr73]

Well other than the few 5 mg vicodin I took yesterday, given by er, I havent taken any vikes for 12 days. I have taken ultram, but in very low doses. I havent taken any since about 7 pm last night. I feel no withdrawels at all. I had to go the the er for severe pelvic and back pain, which is why they are doing a hysterectomy on the 17th(was the 10th). But I feel so much better than I have. The only thing that sucks is my hubby and I have been bickering a whole lot more, and we never fight. Its all stupid stuff. Pretty much him being as ***. Ive had it latley, Im trying my hardest to change for all of our sakes and Ive felt really alone. I dont understand why he is being this was, it could just be me I guess, I dont know. Anywas just thought Id check in.

Hi Kandr...

A hysterectomy is a big deal for a women!!!

I am pretty young and I know some younger than I that have had to go through this hysterectomy thing.

We as women have such sensitivity especially while going through something of this magnitude.

I had mine on December the 15th 2005. I found this really cool we site that helped me a bucnch.
A friend told me about it and it is similar to this forum but you can actually send some one a private message.

I feel for you girl!!! I am 37 years old and can't have kids. I have never been married and I get sad sometimes thinking I will never get to experience being a "real" women again. That is crap I am a real women...and i can be a wife and a MOM. HEHEHEHEHE!!!!
I can tell you that I went throough all these things as a sober women in recovery and I did not feel the need to take a drink or a drug during any of it.

I was even in a relationship when I found out I needed the hysterectomy and then later found out the guy was being totally dishonest with me and had to tell him to take a hike. Not to mention I had just over a year in clean and sober and was dealing with my first semester of school a few months of no smoking a break-up and all the injury and surgery/wrokers comp issues.

I felt a huge weight upon me. I did not want to talk to anyone or see anyone. I would go to school and meetings and I did not even want to sit in a recovery meeting but i did it anyway because that is all I could do.

I had to wait 3 months for my hysterectomy in terrrible pain from that and my arm injuries.
I want you to hear a message of hope from me because all this stuff will pass and things will get better. You don't have to have opiate pain killers to make it through all this. I know it sounds hard but what ever choice you make for your pain just don't forget where you come from.

If you need any help with the hysterectomy thing...I know that this health board has a section for that and I will gladly join you there if you would like to know more about my story and experience....if so let me know and we will go there together ok........Love and hugs Chrissy
