Question for those who have had both laparoscopy for endo and a hysterectomy

I had a laparoscopy surgery a couple months ago for endo. Turns out I also have adenomyosis and they are recommending hysterectomy which I am 90% sure I'm going to do.

To those of you who have had the surgery for endometriosis, how does the recovery compare to that of a hysterectomy?

I didnt have surgery for Endo as I had a hysterectomy but wanted to say the recovery was far better than I anticipated, and actually better than after the exploratory laparoscopy I had to diagnose the Endo.
Home day 3 (they wouldn’t let me leave earlier due to too low BP, I’d have happily gone home after one night!) Stopped hospital painkillers and stuck to paracetamol once home. Walked a little every day, increasing time/distance each week, started doing PFE as soon as I was back on the ward, did my physio several times a day. I could probably have gone back to work within a couple of weeks tbh as I felt so physically well.
I hope, whatever you decide, it all goes smoothly.
