Mother's day - not sure how I feel about it; 3rd day of recovery and in more pain
Greetings to this new day~
So, this is my 1st uterus free Mother's Day and I'm not sure how I feel about it. I was TOTALLY done having kids 17 years ago (husband got fixed) but I'm a bit sad today. I know that not having a uterus doesn't makes me any less a mom or woman but its stopped me in my tracks today.
Also 3rd day of recovery and I'm in more pain now because I have lessoned my dose of Percoset.

Re: Feeling weird on Mother's day
Dearest Sister, you aren't be the first to have this hit you, and you won't be the last. About 16 years ago, a Hostess posted some thoughts about Mother's Day as Sisters and Daughters, where we find ourselves, and maybe offer a new perspective on who we are:
A Sisters and Daughters Celebration
We're all with you.

Re: Feeling weird on Mother's day
Thank you! Reading the passage has helped. Still a little misty eyed but gaining strength.

Re: Feeling weird on Mother's day
I'm right there with you. I never got to have kids, this is my first knowing I really never will... it shouldn't be an issue but it is. I've been feeling pretty low this weekend, navigating it and my complex relationship with my stepdaughters. Sending you lots of goodness for today and your recovery.

Re: Feeling weird on Mother's day
Happy Mother's day to you!!
Remember that you are important in your stepdaughters lives. (Even if it doesn't feel like it now) My stepmom means the world to me now just took some growing up on my part. They'll see what an awesome person you are and appreciate your love.
Pamper yourself today, Sister. We'll continue to heal inside and out as each new day dawns.

Re: Mother's day - not sure how I feel about it; 3rd day of recovery and in more pain
I had my LAVH on 5/11. I have 2 kids. 3 and 1 year old. I am still very broken up about the finality of my surgery. On top of the physical pain, I have the emotional as well. I have had people tell me well isn't this surgery your decision? ... Well yes it was my decision. I had painful fibroids and hellacious periods. I was not the best mom to be around during that time of the month and I was balled up on the couch half the time. I did this for the quality of life that I could have with my kids.
But just thinking about now not even having an option it is a hard pill to swallow.
