I went in for a hysterectomy 3 years ago at age of 47. I’m a mom of 3 my kids, 11, 14 and 16. I had ovarian cancer at age 24. Lost an ovary then but even after going through chemo still was able to have 3 kids.

I had 3 c sections so I did have a lot of scar tissue at time of hysterectomy. They did mention they knocked my ureter but all was fine. Went home a few days later was worsening got a fever. Husband took me to ER I declined quickly. They took me into surgery to investigate. I suffered cardiac arrest on the table. I was resuscitated and taken to ICU. My kidneys and organs were shutting down. They put me in a coma and woke up after a few days. They told my husband I had 5% chance of surviving my kids needed to come say good bye. I slowly got better and was in the hospital a month. I was back to work after a few months. Today I am great I have some permanent kidney damage but feel so very lucky to be alive (Sepsis and Surgery)
