It can be about literally anything idgaf I just need something to focus on other than my aching pelvic muscles.
Edit: thank y’all for all the replies! I’m gonna get back to as many as I can over time! I’ve been napping a lot the past day and have been ignoring a lot of phone notifications lol
I have a friend going that just had hysterectomy. What can friends do to help during recovery?
Honestly, the biggest help from my friends is them listening to me bitch about it all. There’s some bits that I only bitch about to the women (specifically the vaginal pain stuff) because my male friends would undoubtedly get uncomfy by it.
I’m a person who complains a LOT to process pain and emotions and stuff so I’m just spam texting in moments of intense pain and it helps and my friends are super understanding.
My mom helped out with my dogs the first two days post-op, which was great. She also delivered gas-x which is a must have medication. The gas pain alone made me think I was gonna die.
If you know what kind of food she likes, bring her that. Having meals ready to go saves a lot of hassle (and painful movement) right after surgery.
