It was something with the metriosis on the end of the word. Darn, I wish I could think of what it was called. That doctor said one of my ovaries looked like it had exploded, and the uterus was like mush! Anyway, I was so happy to get my plumbing took out!! I was so tired of the pain, and always having to wear a pad. I could wear, tampons, it made me hurt worse. Can you wear tampons, ramanth? Or do they make you hurt worse too?

It is sad the things we women have to go through, as soon as I did have the hystrectomy, it threw me right into menopause. I was taking hormone pills, but now I have changed to the shots again.

Back then, I always have a really hard time remembering what year I had my hysterectomy, I know it was right before my granddaughter was born, and she was born in 96, and it was a day after my birthday(great birthday present!) So it was December 29, 1995! Wow, I didn't realize it had been that long ago!

I had the easy kind of surgery, it was amazing! I didn't even realize I had the surgery. They took everything out vaginally, and that was so easy. No pain from the surgery except one little pain from the gas they pumped me full of! Now that is the way to have surgery. No pain! I felt so much better too.

Richard, I know you are just trying to find out more about this kind of thing, to me it just shows that you are very sympathtic to us women.
