Today marks my two year "hysterversary" Or in other words, two years ago I had my hysterectomy at age 24. I think I have come a long way from the time the doctor told me that the only way I was going to be better was to have a hysterectomy till now. There were times, before and after the surgery that I would be curled up in the fetal position bawling. Now, I am able to make uterus jokes. Do I miss it? Yes and know. I don't think many women would miss bleeding and cramps. I sure don't. But I do miss being able to be pregnant. I miss that connection with the baby and Heavenly Father. I really wish that I could have a baby right now,but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt I did the right thing. It took my six weeks to finally say yes. I wouldn't turn back. I love that I am no long sick from an unhealthy uterus.
I don't know how many of you have every lost and organ, (tonsils don't count). It is a strange feeling. You can tell something is missing. You have a pain INSIDE of you that you can't touch. It gets really hard when you start the itching/healing feeling, because there is nothing you can do. Is is bearable, for the most part. I don't feel like I am hollow or anything now. I like that I don't have to plan to bring pads or tampons. But on the other hand I have quite a few guest stay at my house and have a little emergency and I have nothing to offer them. I have even run over to my neighbors house to ask to borrow some supplies. You should have seen her face. It was priceless! Okay, enough of this subject, I just wanted to wish myself
HAPPY TWO YEAR HYSTERVERSARY!
