Lucy Maude Montgomery (same author as Anne of Green Gables), and you can find it for 99 cents on Kindle. You can buy Kindle books even if you don't have a Kindle, and just read them on your computer. Thank you. I just ordered it in paperback form.

So it's 4 days to my holiday and I'm sick  I'm finding it hard to get excited because I feel so terrible. My DS has thankfully already been sick so he's all better now. So I have 4 days to dose myself up on vitamins and get better!! I think also combined with me feeling very down and depressed about WH is not helping. I've been getting lots of sleep and resting. I think I'm coming to that stage of acceptance that WH isn't likely to be coming back and it sucks big time. I don't know. My feelings are all over the place right now. I think I am at my lowest right now. Wondering when all the hurt will go away. Plan B'ers please don't break your Plan B. It is too painful and is a major setback when you've been doing so well. I'm coming up to week 1 of New Plan B.

Books! They are nurses when you are ill.
I think you need laughter, so try some bill Bryson.

Be encouraged that reading your experience will deter one or more Plan B'ers from making C. And it will encourage someone who messed up to pick themselves back up and keep going. You may never know it, since some of the people who benefit most from this site only lurk, but it will happen.

Do NOT take humor books to the hospital to read while you're recovering from an abdominal hysterectomy. Why do I say that? I don't know--just a random thought, I guess.

Do NOT take walks to other parts of the hospital the day after your abdominal hysterectomy. When you faint, the nurses in the other ward will have no idea who you are or where you belong. Just another random thought, I guess.

She had her hyster at the same hospital where I'd worked for decades as an L&D nurse. I was her nurse for all 4 deliveries, including the baby that died. My kids had been to the department numerous times over the years. They knew many of the nurses well. The nurse who got to her first had even read both of Neak's books and had been the nursery nurse for her last live birth; she knew her well. And she still didn't recognize that pasty-white, unconscious body lying peacefully in front of the elevators. At least she knew not to get humor books to read...and her daughter will know not to do either, when her time comes.  Wisdom--a generational accumulation! tl

In theory, of course she knew you, just like you knew her. In practice, you were unrecognizable. I would have recognized you. I'm pretty sure of that.

tl I'm sure you would have too! I wonder if the nurse thought later 'ah I thought I knew her from somewhere'...
