Brutalizing my body + God

It may be a long road to hoe but once its done never to be repeated. I'm glad you didn't take offense to my post. My mom and sister both had this procedure done. Mom vaginally and sister abdominally. Mom had a few complications with the urine side of life. Sister had an abdominal. She has a very low pain tolerance like next to none. If she could make it through definately manageable.

Well I can't see it that way. I'm sorry you are having this issue. It's hard enough to have the physical dilemma and then to have a moral one on top of it seems almost unfair. But for me, I had cancer so I wasn't really given a choice to volunteer. I guess the way I look at is God caused the hemorrhaging that day that sent me to the hosp that sent me to the new gyn who knew to test for this and was able to get me an appt with the best gyn/onc 3weeks before he went on a one month vacation and to have surgery on the last day of one of the best hospitals for women in this area to save my life. I guess sometime we have to see when God nudges us in the right direction. I don't believe my Lord creates anything imperfect he justs makes us different then gives us the knowledge to make the best decisions. Hugggsss to you. I hope you find some inner peace about this
