Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 First, I am glad to find a group of women coping with the same issues as I am. I am almost 37 years old, never married, no children. I am in a relationship and would like to keep my childbearing options open. In the meantime, I have two fibroids, one causing pain, heavy flow, and irregular bleeding. I have decided they both must go and plan to have a myo in March or April. My most pressing problem related to that decision (besides having to spend time in the hospital) is that I do not have enough sick/vacation/comp. time to take many weeks off to recover. I spoke with my doctor about having the surgery on a Wed. and going back to work 12 days later. I can arrange to be sedentary at work. I've only spoken with 2 people since then (none of whom have had myo) about my plan and they both say I should take more time off. My next step is to fully research my options and try to figure out a way to take more time off. But I'd like to hear from those who have had this procedure. Am I being unrealistic about taking the minimum time off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
