Location: Red Raiderland | Hi my BB's! I gotta get this off my mind a bit so I am going to type to y'all.
I gotta go in for kinda major surgery on Monday and I gotta be honest, I'm getting nervous. I have been having a few health issues since Jan and they just never got better. I'm so bummed and its possible I'll have to have a full hysterectomy. It won't be a straight forward hysto because of some preexisting junk going so i won't even know if i have full hysterectomy or just left ovary removal until I wake from surgery.  Any advice from y'all on what it is like to be an avid barrel racer and go through this surgery?
I have awesome BB friends on here that helped me through my Jan. issue and I LOVE them for that{{{{hugs}}}} !!
Any and all advice and just support would be so appreciated.

| Prayers for you! Boy, I can imagine how anxious I would be going into surgery not knowing what the outcome will be till I wake up, I like to mentally be prepared. I have a few friends who have had full hysterectomies and they are doing great, life for them is better now that their health issues have been treated. Hugs and keep us updated! |

You do. If you fit and healthy you will do well. Hugs and get well soon. |

Location: Riding Crackhead. | I had a full hyst in October. There were complications but only because I'd had a C section 19 yrs prior and was full of scar tissue that had to be cleaned up and in the process my bladder ripped. My little 1 1/2 hour surgery took 8 hours and 4 days in the hospital. Recovery from the hyst was easy. The bladder recovery was a gross ordeal that took some time. |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | I had a complete hysterectomy back in 1980 and what I remember the most is I felt so much better and instead of being sick I had minimal pain from my incision. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
Hugs and prayers! |

CYA, I am so sorry that you had the bladder ripped as I do hear there is a chance things like this can happen. I sure hope that after all these months you are doing much better. I, too, have the added complications of an abscess that I suffered back in January and the doc told me it might look like a bomb went off in there and they really won't know exactly what they are dealing with until I am opened up......I am freaking nervous! I have never had major surgery so I'm kind of feeling a little lost about what to expect. |

Location: Kansas | I had a hysterectomy quite a long time ago. Recovering wasn't that big a deal and I felt a million times better afterward. Don't let anybody scare you. The big plus given that I was only 36...no more periods YAY.
