11 Weeks Post Hysterectomy – Karen ’ s Story
Hi my name is Karen. I am 39 years old and had an abdominal hysterectomy on 6th September due to large fibroids and very low iron.
All seemed well when I woke up.

I went back to the hospital and was told I had an infection in my scar. I was given antibiotics and bloods taken and sent home.
At 10 pm that evening I had a phone call from the doctor to inform me my bloods had dropped again f...

Health maintenance in women.
Abstract
The health maintenance examination is an opportunity to focus on disease prevention and health promotion.

High-risk sexually active women should be counseled on reducing the risk of sexually transmitted infections, and screened for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. All women should be screened for huma...

When angels catch us – Madeline ’ s hysterectomy story
How do we know there are angels? Do we have our own special guardian angels watching over us? How many times have we almost entered into danger only to change our minds at the last minute?
Is this simply being lucky or has there been an unconscious inner voice warning us? I have truly believed for a long time that there are God’s angels watching over us and over the years there have been occasions when I have had warnings of some impending doom and thankfully avoided tragedy. Sometimes I’ve just had feelings or a “sixth sense” and the negative event still happened but somehow I had felt that premonition. Wa...

How to build up your fitness after hysterectomy – Karen ’ s story
Before my operation, apart from having some large fibroids and anemia, I was pretty fit and had good core stability. I believe that having good core stability is the key to success as you can work all the other parts of your body whilst your abdomen stays still.
The day after my operation I started doing the basic Pilates warm up exercises in my bed, even with the catheter in, just to keep all my joints mobilised.
Days 1 – 14 I increased the amount of Pilates exercises I was doing and was outside walking for at least 20 minutes twice a day. I never took any painkillers before I exercised so that I would know if I was...

Playing by the Rules
“Are you sure?” Most tennis players will tell you that this is amongst the most common query that was thrown at them during their career, more often while playing unsupervised club-level matches. A generous mind might infer questionable eyesight of an opponent while the nasty one would cast aspersions on their integrity. The rules of tennis are well documented and lines clearly marked. Yet, this question pops up persistently. Why so?
How many times have we seen professional players shoot the question at linesmen, chair umpires and even tournament referees? They challenge calls and sometimes cross the line (reme...

Good Karma
A really dear Aussie friend sent this to me and I think it’s words are very apt:
This is a nice reading but short. Enjoy! This is what The Dalai Lama has to say for 2006 about good karma. All it takes is a few seconds to read and think over.
I N S T R U C T I O N S F O R L I FE
Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
Follow the three R ’s:
Respect for self,
Respect for others and
Responsibility for all your actions.
Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
Learn the rules so yo know how t...
