Misterhystersisters.com is an information website for families of the Hysterectomy patient.
Mister Hyster Sisters website is not intended to take the place of a physician.
Hyster Sisters receives a lot of email from men. The email is usually
short and to the point: What can I do to help my wife?
The Hyster Sisters website was created for "women to women" online
support for hysterectomy decisions and support providing articles for
pre-op, post-op and hormone therapy along with live discussions within
the forums of the site.
But we know that the men, the husbands of the Hyster Sisters, lurk
online, reading the website, trying to gather information to help them
understand what is happening to their wives and girlfriends. They are
frightened. They are confused. They want to help.
"Hello. My girlfriend had a hysterectomy today. She has had
endometriosis since she was 12. I know that this is probably for the
best but I am having a very difficult time trying to understand all the
implications and I am scared to death of not being able to support her
to the very best of my abilities. Any advice on what I can do to make
her recovery more pleasant?"
"My wife has been a rock through this whole thing and I am the one who
has been walking around like a train wreck. Other than the obvious, what
can I do?"
"My wife is going to have a partial hysterectomy. I would like to know
how best to care for her. What should she eat? Will she have chills?
What do I need to prepare for emotionally? Anything that would help me
care for her better? I would like to hear from all of you, because
everyone has different needs. The more feedback I get, the better I can
care for my wife. Thank you all for your help!"
And so, this website is for you: the men of the Hyster
Sisters. It is our goal that this website will help
you to take care of your Hyster Sister.
My wife is facing this surgery. Would it be helpful for me to attend her doctor appointments with her?
Yes if possible and if she agrees it would be very helpful. Two sets of ears are always better as there are things the doctor may say that she may forget. Perhaps even take a little notepad and pen to jot down importants points.
By attending these appointments it will also help you understand better what this surgery is all about and what you can expect and what you can do to help her through this.
Probably the most heard complaint from the Hyster Sisters about their husbands is that they don't understand the seriousness of this surgery and the many changes a body goes through during recovery. Going to the doctor appointments will demonstrate to your wife that you are interested in her needs.
The Hyster Sisters put this ebook (electronic book) together for the misters
