Was hysterectomy at 43 the right choice? Feeling scared and isolated

12 hours agoVery frustrating when you don’t know what time a huge surgery is.. I am recovering from a full hysterectomy at the age of 43 for prevention of cancer since mine is hormonal I wanted to eliminate the main source my overies I prayed about this, talked to doctors got second opinions, talked with women who have had one and made the decision yet recovery is a lot I’ve been off work and I thrive on routine just feeling thrown off my square right now..Over thinking 🤔 was this the right decision?? Scared, alone feeling isolated
