Contrary to popular opinion, I am still alive...again. When I started this blog, I said that I would use it as a way to get me writing again, and that I would keep at it, no matter what. I haven't done that, and it aggravates me. I have let a busy summer, among other things, get in the way, and that needs to stop. So here goes...
This past Tuesday, I had a radical hysterectomy. By radical, I mean that everything is gone. Some hysterectomies involve taking everything except the ovaries, but my ovaries were covered in cysts and fybroids, so they're gone, too. I feel liberated. For anyone reading this who is not a woman, I'll spare you the gory details, but about three weeks of every months were very difficult for me and those around me. I had many physical and emotional symptoms that made life somewhat difficult. It's going to be so strange for me in about four weeks when I'm not a miserable wreck. It'll be a happy time for my husband and son. No crazy woman in the household. Well, I'm still crazy, but it won't be from something physical. My personality is what it is.
My Mom flew in the day before my surgery to help me, and she's been wonderful. It's awfully hard having her so far away (in St. Louis). As time passes and I see her beginning to deteriorate in health, I so wish I could get my folks to move closer so that I can not only help take care of them, as they have for me some 41 years, but so that I can soak in as much of my parents as I can before they're gone. We don't always see eye-to-eye on everything, but both of my parents are very special people, and this world will be so much worse off without them in it.
Okay, enough for now. The residual anesthesia in my system is making my eyelids feel heavy. I WILL write more later! God bless!
Good you are back, now keep it up. Schedule a time every day (probably nap time) and DIN,DIN do it now, do it now.
