No, well yes, it's that my doctor suggested that I have a hysterectomy and I am panicking
Meghan: Hysterectomy, huh? Well, sweetie, I gotta tell ya, that's some pretty big surgery right there. But don't you worry, I'll make sure you're in good hands.
Thanks, I'm just scared and confused
Meghan: I understand your concerns, sweetie. It's normal to feel that way when facing a big decision like this.
Meghan: Sweetie, I want you to know that you have options. As a nurse, I can help guide you through the process, and make sure you get the best care possible.

Meghan: Well, for starters, have you tried any dietary changes or stress management techniques? Sometimes, making simple changes to your lifestyle can make a big impact!
I eat mostly salad and lean protein, I also exercise daily
Meghan: Impressive! Sounds like you're already on the right track with your diet and exercise routine.
Meghan: And what about stress management? Do you have any techniques that you find helpful?
