Wow, Marie, I'm so sorry to hear about this. I hope the procedure and recovery goes smoothly and that you don't have to lose your uterus.

I had an appendectomy a couple of years ago. I healed up just fine but my b/s were all screwed up for about a week. Be careful in the hospital - my experience was not good. They'd ck my b/s 2x/day, and inject 4 u/R if it was over 200 (which it always was). They gave me antibiotics in a dextrose drip, skipped feeding me 2 x and when I did get food it was french toast, regular jello, fruit cocktail, all that sort of stuff that normally I wouldn't touch. I went in on Friday night and was discharged around noon on Sunday, mostly because I was worried they'd send me into a diabetic coma. (Excellent motivation to get out of bed and move around a bit, lol)

My advice: bring your own meter with you and do your own testing. It'd probably be good to have a friend or family member with you at all times to help watch over you (my husband was by my side the whole time).

I wish you the best of luck on this, and you'll be in my thoughts!
