A Practical Guidebook Lisa Wilford

Think of this book as the humorous girl-friend we all have, or wish we had. That friend that tells us the truth in a sweet, honest, sincere tone, always with a humorous spin. That quirky voice we hear in our minds even as we dread facing a life-changing surgery. Somehow we know we are going to be better than OK as we journey to the other side. For many women, one trip to their ob/gyn ends with dreadful news that they are getting a hysterectomy. Having experienced first-hand all the ups, downs, twists, and turns, I felt a practical guidebook with humorous illustrations will ease the minds of women facing a hysterectomy. Being a communications lecturer for ten years, living through a hysterectomy, and laughing my way through life, I threaded together what I wish I knew going into a hysterectomy. A Practical Guidebook, I Can't Even Spell Hysterectomy, But I'm Getting One begins with the day of the big news, questions to ask yourself before you get to preparing for surgery, moving onto preparation, pre-op, post-op and recovery. This guidebook is packed full of practical tips every woman should know as she begins this journey; coupled with humorous illustrations, and sprinkled with first-hand tips, advice, and guidance. The common theme throughout the book is the unwavering truth she is going to get well! Laughter and being informed will get her there much faster.
