six weeks post surgery

Today is my six week post surgery date. Though I do not see the doctor until tomorrow, I anticipate him taking away all of my restrictions at my appointment. Though there have been moments , like when I was cooking potatoes to mash and Cindy left and Mike and Michael were looking at something on Michael's car, and the potatoes finished cooking and needed drained before water logging and I was all alone considering if I should just pick up the pan or not, it seemed like forever until I got to this six week mark . Now that it is here, however, it seems like it were such a short time. On my last visit ( four weeks ago) the Doctor asked if I was ( so far) glad that I had the procedure and honestly, though I can not say for sure until I see how normal daily life goes, I really do think that I am happy. Since Mike and I were very adamant about only having the uterus, which had attached itself to my abdominal wall, removed and even though it caused more work for the doctor, keeping everything else, I do not expect any day to day changes. If my expectations are true, I will be very happy with this decision. That being said,I just wanted to encourage my friends who find themselves putting off procedures, be it the same or different, to just go for it. I spent years avoiding this procedure and it only got worse. I remember laying in the hospital post op and thinking.... If only I had listened years ago. Oh well that is all under the bridge now. Come tomorrow I will move on and boy am I ready !
