Because I am having a hysterectomy on Tuesday, I am taking a few weeks off. I’ve been pursuing alternatives for a year, and now, for me, this is the best decision.
I also debated endlessly (with myself) about how much I wanted to share and when I wanted to share it. Should I just say I am taking time off for personal reasons? Or what about calling it a surgery, and leaving it at that? But there it is. I blurted it out. Sorry if this is “too much information.” I certainly did not want to make anyone feel uncomfortable. Sigh.
Because I am working ahead, I expect that you will continue to receive regular newsletters from me … and that in two or three weeks I’ll be back in my computer chair, and feeling much better.

I know what you must have been through .
Thank you for your precious information and support.
Take care of yourself.
Best wishes
Do what the doctor says! I know someone who got lots of help and support from http://www.hystersisters.com.
Friends do let their friends know what’s happening in their lives – so it seems very appropriate to tell your web friends of your hysterectomy. I wish you a speedy recovery. Relax, read a lot and enjoy some needed attention! I enjoy your site and will be happy to have you return in good health with lots of new energy!
I hope you are recovering quickly and managing to use your recovery time to treat yourself.
It is good when ever anyone is open about medical issues that in the past people have felt wern’t ‘nice’ to talk about – there would be no issue if it were, for example, knee surgery. Yet the old embaressments have led to people delaying or even not getting help which could have eased suffering or even saved lives. So – good on you for being open. Just think it might help someone to get help they have previously felt too awkward to mention.
