Hi there,
I just wanted to say that I have not yet had a hysterectomy but I think
after 13 years that you have made the right choice for you. If the pain
has interfered with the quality of life and you living your life then it
is important to get back to living and this may be the only way.
Best of luck and my prayers are with you.
