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.
Women who have to endure an open hysterectomy procedure usually take at least six weeks to heal. If there are any complications, their surgeon may suggest an additional two to four weeks of recovery. The majority of abdominal hysterectomy patients are almost fully healed by eight weeks after the surgery. It's important to note that abdominal hysterectomy patients should not lift anything heavy (10 pounds or more) for about six weeks following surgery, or until cleared by the doctor.
