127: Hysterectomy | 4 Weeks Post Op Update
Episode 127
Thursday, 21 August, 2025
Reaching the four-week milestone in my hysterectomy recovery journey feels like crossing an important threshold.In this episode, I discuss the remarkable physical transformation that has occurred – pain has decreased significantly, mobility has improved dramatically, and my energy levels have surged. Simple movements that caused discomfort just two weeks ago, like rolling over in bed or tying shoelaces, now feel natural again.The four-week check-up with my surgeon brought validation and unexpected revelations. We also discussed guidelines for safely returning to exercise (stationary cycling is now approved!) and intimate relationsđŸ˜‰, conversations I deeply appreciated for their practicality and candour.For anyone facing similar recovery challenges, I've learned invaluable lessons: don't rush the healing process, avoid comparing your journey to others', and keep your mind engaged with projects when your body needs rest.This recovery experience has deepened my gratitude for my body's remarkable healing abilities and the excellent medical care I've received. If you're navigating your own healing journey or supporting someone through theirs, I hope sharing my experience offers insight and reassurance. Reach out via email or Instagram if you'd like to connect – I'd love to hear your story or answer any questions about this profoundly personal journey.Links:sonya@sonyalovell.comSonya on Instagram - @sonyalovellThank you for listening to my show!
