Please be careful in your recovering, especially when you think you are able to do some light housework - always check with your Doctor first - and it is going to be awhile. I had a total hyst. in 2007; all's well. Have you tried the website http://www.hystersisters.com/? I liked it, it helped with some concerns I had that I thought would be too small to talk to doctor about; and turned out other women had same question. Good well and if others can do things for you next few weeks, let them.
