On My Mind Post-Hysterectomy

Now that I'm approaching two weeks post-op, I have lots of questions. Actually, I'm having trouble even sleeping, there's so much on my mind! Here are just a few of the things I finding myself pondering at 2am:

1. Will I ever have a semi-normal looking belly again?
2. Will these hot flashes continue?
3. Will I need hormone therapy despite keeping my ovaries?
4. Am I still a "real" woman?
5. Will I still desire sex?
6. Will orgasms feel the same?
7. What will sex without pain be like?
8. Will be husband desire me now that I'm "incomplete"?
9. Since I still have my ovaries and will, in theory, still ovulate, will I have PMS?
