Hi! My name is Deb. I was born in Alabama in March of 1963. I was swept off my feet and married my college sweetheart in 1985, who grew into a brave and handsome active duty soldier. We were blessed with a beautiful daughter in 1987.

Being married to a soldier means moving quite often. We have lived in Georgia, Germany, Virginia, Missouri, Kansas, Alabama, Korea and Kentucky. A motto that has true and special meaning for our family is 'Home is Where the Army Sends You'.

In my spare time, I enjoy volunteer and community work. I have been fortunate to serve as a Parliamentarian and President of the Officers' Wives' Club, Program Manager for Army Family Team Building, Family Readiness Group leader as well as volunteering for our local Historical Society and my daughter's schools.

Army life has been an awesome experience! My husband has served his country for over 20 years including the Gulf War, Somalia and Iraq. He plans to retire in 2005 and we will put down roots in Tennessee.

My gynecological history is not exciting and I was fortunate that I never had any major problems. I never really had a regular period as I would only bleed every 6 - 8 weeks. When I was 21 years old, it was discovered that I had a retroverted uterus.

In 1999, my periods became very regular and I suffered from cramps, heavy bleeding and clots. Since I never had an abnormal pap, I just learned to live with it.

By January 2004, I began bleeding continuously. After having numerous blood tests, ultrasounds and an endometrial biopsy, which turned out benign, my doctor suggested a vaginal hysterectomy keeping my ovaries if they were healthy. He strongly suspected fibroids and possible adenomyosis as possible causes for my dysfunctional uterine bleeding.

My TVH was in April 2004 and I was able to retain my healthy ovaries. My doctor's suspicions were confirmed. I did have fibroids and adenomyosis. I had a pretty good hospital experience with many helpful and supportive nurses. I discovered that walking as soon as I was able was very important in my healing process.

I discovered HysterSisters shortly after my surgery. What a blessing this site has been! The more I read, the more I became hooked! HysterSisters is such a wonderful site and I have found so much valuable information and made so many friends! It is truly an honor to be a hostess in the Pre-Op and Prayer Forums and be able to give back to this site that means so much to me! I hope you enjoy the information and support as much as I do!
