So, tomorrow morning I go in for surgery to remove an organ that has caused me a lifetime of nothing but pain and grief. Years of labor-pain-like monthly cramps, years of fertility treatment that was unsuccessful...finally the fibroids and endometriosis are symptomatic enough to medically justify a hysterectomy. Those who know me well, know that my catch phrase for my predicament has been "why do I keep having to change the oil every month when the engine isn't running!". Tomorrow, the engine is getting removed and I have no regrets.
It's a laparoscopic procedure so it should be fairly simple, barring any complications. I'm not looking forward to the overnight hospital stay and hope to get released on Wednesday in time to go to Jamie's end of the school year ice cream social. I hope to feel well enough to go to the Sky Sox game in Colorado Springs on Saturday. My mom is here to help with Jamie and I have great friends who are pitching in as well. This is a busy time of year for Bill but, of course, he will also be available. I'm hoping that recovery will be quick and easy.
Farewell uterus...good riddance!
