Hi everybody. I just wanted to give everyone an update.

It’s been 4 or 5 months since I had the hysterectomy. It was a robotic assist procedure because of the size of my uterus. I was really worried about the anesthesia but when I woke up after the surgery my first thought was that my brain was fine and it wasn’t hurt by the anesthesia. Recovery was a little bit hard at the hospital and at home but it was basically normal. Now everything that was bothering me is gone.

I had my neurologist appointment a month ago and everything seemed to go well with that also. I think at the end of it all the doctors and nurses were happy with how well I was doing.

Last summer I tried to do a little light jogging like Will but almost killed myself. Now I am back to walking several times a week.

Laura,

That's great news! Our weather should start to improve and it will be more comfortable to walk outside. Keep on truckin'!

I am so glad to read that you are feeling better and that the anesthesia did not bother you! Some people have reported a slower recovery from it so it is good to know that everyone doesn't have that experience.
