newbie here

Hi,
I was so excited when I came upon this site!
I went to the doctors last week and finally all the years of pain have taken their toll on me, and I said kidding to the doctor(but I actually meant it) I think its time to rip everything out, he said o.k. are you ready to and I said yes. I have a surgery date of Feb.24th I am really excited, but as I have seen from other postings, I am having the same feelings: cleaning the house like there is no tomorrow, eating more junk food then ever, crying for no reason, and thoughts of "oh should I be doing this". I think the hardest part is the waiting, if I could go tommorow I would be fine. I just had to say, this site is awesome; what a wonderful service to us woman. I am also sorry for not knowing all of the abbreviations yet.

Lilkath,

I was also relieved to find this site when I discovered I needed to have a hyst. There is so much information here and many caring sisters who are willing to share their knowledge and experience.
