OP day tomorrow

Janet Pamela · 10-03-2004, 07:26 AM

I am having my OP tomorrow. Feel sick thinking about it, keeping myself busy so that I don't think about it too much. Have tried to keep thinking possitively, i.e. getting rid of what is making me feel so ill and heading towards a much better quality of life. Wasn't easy as I have never had children and losing my womb had a very bad effect on me, but, I have to be realistic, I cannot have children, there will always be an unfillable void because of that, but keeping what is making me so ill does not make sense. Am keeping my mind on the fact that I shall feel so much better once it is all over and I am well again.

Dreading tomorrow, but it is all for the best.

Bless your heart. I hope everything works out for you. I am sure it was a very hard to decide what to do. I know it was for me. But, there is light at the end of the tunnel. I had mine on 9-21-04. A TVH/BSO. And I feel so good right now. I hope you will too. Best wishes to you and lots of

s.

Hi sweetie,

I completely understand how you feel. The hardest thing for me is accepting that my dream of becoming a mother will never happen. It's like I'm going through a mourning process for children I will never give birth to. I know that I will feel better and get my health back after this surgery and knowing that helps but not completely. Please know that you are not alone and I wish I could reach out and give you a big hug. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers until I hear back about how your surgery went. Please take care!
