Beadboard is a row of narrow wood planks lined up vertically. In between each wood plank is a little indentation or ridge--also known as a bead. These days most 'beadboard' comes in long, monolithic sheets that are easy to install and imitate the look of narrow vertical planks.
Vaginal discharge. After a hysterectomy, you'll experience some vaginal bleeding and discharge. This will be less discharge than during a period, but it may last up to six weeks. Visit your GP if you experience heavy vaginal bleeding, start passing blood clots, or have a strong-smelling discharge.
You may stay in hospital for any time up to 4 days for post-operative recovery. If you have had an abdominal hysterectomy, it may take anywhere from 1 to 2 months to recover. A vaginal or laparoscopic hysterectomy means a faster recovery period of about 1 to 2 weeks.
