I had a hysterectomy!

[eilenej1]

I've been having problems for years, but getting worse over the last few monhts.  I have no diagnosis for what was wrong yet, but it was likely adenomyosis.  That is a condition similar to endometriosis, but the growth is inside the uterine wall instead of outside the uterus.  I'd been having general abdominal pain for a long time and much discomfort / pain during sex.  When the ultrasound and laparoscopic surgery did not show anything, I requested a hysterectomy.  The doctor said it was a mess and definitely not a normal uterus.

Anyay, that was Tuesday.  I'm on the mend now.  I move a bit easier each day.  Today was the first BM and wasn't too bad.  Was nervous about that, but I was taking stool softeners and extra magnesium.  It helped a lot.

This is awesome!  I had my hysterectomy 5 years ago and still say it's the best thing I ever did for myself.  You enjoy!
