Let’s turn it around.
Any suggestions?
T-minus 2 days and counting… I’m starting to get nervous. There I said it. I wonder if that makes any of you feel better, because it doesn’t make me feel better - I can’t control any of it. I can control my attitude about it - it’s going to be great - no matter what happens, everything is going to be fine.
My co-workers (mostly women over 50, one gal who is 22, and me 30’s) have given me so much advice (none of them have had the surgery that I’m having, or c-sections.) that I feel as if I am an ‘expert’. I smile, thank them for their wonderful ideas, and change the subject. I’m sorry - but they have no clue. One co-worker said - well so and so had an ablation, you should do that instead of the hysterectomy. or the one that recommended that I see her “herbalist” (sp?), and another a chiropractor.
I thanked them for those options and changed the subject. But since I can vent here I will - what the HECK is a chiropractor going to do for me? I don’t have back pain, well I do, but it’s not because I’m out of alignment. He isn’t going to be able to make me stop flowing for 15 days. (yes, 15 and that is after the ablation.)
An Herbalist? Uhm, I don’t think so. There are somethings that I believe in homeopathic meds, but for this particular problem? Not gonna happen. AND I HAD ABLATION - did that when I took a long weekend in September - didn’t get the results I wanted, or my doctor wanted.
I know I’m moody, Mr. Incredible and the kids are paying for it. I know that my fuse is 2 cm long, and I know this, yet, I can’t seem to stop myself from snapping at them, saying “NO!” instead of explaining why we can’t do something. I just hope when I’m feeling better they will still want to be around me. Cause right now, even I don’t want to be around me. Yeah, I feel that good.
I’m tired, cranky, in pain and just want it to be August.

You are right, they are clueless!! Chiropractor??? Geezz. I hope you are able to get the rest you will need.
Anyone would be nervous!

take a deep breath
You’ll be right as rain after the surgery and it will be well worth the “hell” you’ve gone through.

Everything is going to be fine. This is what you need, and it’s all going to work out.
But I do have some assvice for ya! No, not vitamins or chiropractors… just make sure that you GET THAT REST that your doctor is yammering on about. You know this, so I will refrain from sharing the horror story that I know. You simply must recover properly. Hugs and loves.

I have another friend who is also still having trouble after an ablation and is considering a hyterectomy.
I’m sure that you will be just fine, and then I can use your success story as encouragement for her to do what needs done, also.
And I second Bon…be sure you take the time you need to rest and recover.

Normal to be nervous… and it’s a big emotional decision as well (even if you know you want it!) so let yourself feel the feelings and go with it. It will be over soon enough.
As for the chiropractor… oh my - they really do believe that they cure EVERYTHING though. They really do believe in what they do. One of ours in town is determined that it will cure EVERYTHING from Diabetes to Cancer.

I wish I had some advice for you. Unfortunately my hyster. happened the day Sydney was born so I had no advance notice and recovery was interesting because I had to care for a newborn so there was no real laying around.
But, in spite of it all, I SOOOOO love not having a visible cycle every month.
I will tell you that the strange thing for me is that because I still have my overaries, I still have a “cycle” and sometimes I’ll feel off and my back will hurt for no reason then a day or two later it stops and I realize that it was PMS.
I take it back, I do have advice. You need someone with you at the hospital who can be your pain med advocate. Nurses are busy and you will be in pain and so you need someone who can walk down the hall and make sure you are heard. I know they aren’t always doing it maliciously, but sometimes it’s just a little too easy to ignore the buzzer.

Mel – I just didn’t see how he was going to be able to help me – I mean when I have a kink in my neck I think they are gods, but fixing this problem? I don’t think so.
Sodapop – Good advice – I need to put it on the mirror!
Bon – I wish you were near me – I needed to hear that!
JoeInVegas – If it had been anyone but you – I’d have tossed a shoe at you!
Tug – Thank you!
Laura – Munchies? OH… now someone tells me – I should have taken the number….for medicinal purposes only.
Blogarita – I’ll let you know how it goes – oh, and I’ll be honest.
KC – thanks!
Meritt – you are right – it is emotional, and I’m an emotional person. (BIG NEWS FLASH THERE!)
Timestep – That is going to be my favorite part – not having a cycle, not having to worry if I leaked through and ruined yet another pair of pants, or worse yet, the chair I’m sitting on. Not having to have extra clothes in the vehicle, or stored at the office just in case. There are so many reasons why I’m okay with having the surgery, even almost looking forward to it. BUT (there is always a but), I’m nervous for the surgery. If that makes any sense at all.

It is perfectly reasonable for you to be moody right now.
