Be real with me, hysterectomy as a widow
I had this hysterectomy scheduled since earlier this year and I’ve been looking forward to it yet, nervous because I’ve had bad surgery experiences. Having my husband by my side and there for support gave me comfort. Then he passed unexpectedly a month ago. I’m almost positive I will have to be opened up and possibly a hospital stay due to bowel involvement. It was scary for me to think about when he was alive and now I’m on the verge of tears just writing this. I’m now terrified. How will I manage my 4 (of our 5) kids who will be in school? How do I do this if I’m in the hospital? Idk, I want to do it because I’m so hopeful for relief but it is now something I’m afraid of doing alone…god. I don’t want to do it alone…
