had mine in nov

I just had a total vaginal hysterectomy in Nov. I stayed in the hospital from Friday to Sunday. The pain was controllable with meds and when I went home all I took was Tylenol. Take what they give you the first 24 hours though. I didnt at first and regretted it when the pain hit.
I have two kids I stay home with and needed help the first week but after that I was fine. My kids are 6 and 3.
Sex is the same afterwards but you must wait 6 weeks. Make sure you take it easy during those 6 weeks or you could cause problems with the healing.
Please ask anything you'd like. I was terrified but it is WONDERFUL not having any of the "girly" problems anymore and no more PERIODS!!
The bleeding lasts about 4 weeks but it's light. Mine was light enough after the first day or two to only use a liner.
