How soon after a TAH can I start to do normal things, like hoovering, hanging washing, gardening

hi love, i had a total abdominal hysterectomy 2 yrs ago, well firstly u cannot do anything for 6 weeks, no hoovering no making beds no washing ironing etc, the most u can do is make yourself a cup of tea, take this time out to rest & get yourself feeling better,, the wound should be well healed in 6 weeks, thats the one on the outside of ur body,, the internal scars take longer,, beware.. if u do over do it ur 6 weeks rest will turn in to 12 weeks rest,, delegate,, ask whoever calls to visit if they would mind puttin the hoover round for you, or putting a load of washing in,, it wont hurt them, & they always ask if u need anything anyway,, as u know its a major operation, treat it as so & u will be as good as new in no time at all. as for the shopping,, leave the heavy bags for as long as u can.. take someone with u u choose what shopping u want & let them carry the bags,, good luck love,, life begins after hysterectomy.xx

If by a TAH you mean a hysterectomy - it is about six weeks until you should start chores like hoovering, gardening a carrying heavy shopping, you could hang a bit of washing out as long as you feel like it -
