Training post-hysterectomy?
I'm interested in personal perspectives from women aikidoka who have had hysterectomy -- specifically, about how your recovery went. I had a laparoscopic hysterectomy in mid-November, which went very well, as did my recovery. I was cleared to take ukemi again at four weeks, and things went fine for a while, but lately I'm getting a lot more aches -- very similar to what I had before surgery, when the ginormous fibroids were making everything pretty painful. I'm not sure what to think or what to expect -- I can contact my surgeon, but aikido is sufficiently different from normal activities that I don't think she'll be able to get much guidance. If you've been there, what was your healing like? What sort of timeline are we looking at? And (the question I really want to ask), it does get better eventually...right?
