Well thanks for listening to me.

Hi hon just wanted to send you a hug. I know about missing out on things. I almost missed my daughters kindergarten graduation due to doctors appt the other day. I did miss a BBQ today that my little one had with her soccer team. Sometimes we just have to take it easy and remember it will all be over soon. I keep telling myself that lately! I can make you smile I think though. My husband went over to the store today for last minute things for the hospital, well he got everything I asked for but the funny thing that gets me is what was the lady thinking when he brought all this stuff up to the register lol. He got me the granny panties, BIG box of Gas X, Chocolate and snacks for the hospital room. Not funny things but could you hear the lady as he is walking out. YUP that boy is not getting anything tonight ha ha

((HUGS))

Oh Yes, I definitely remember that whole roller coaster!
When my surgeon suggested the Hyst. in Jan I asked, "what are you doing tomorrow?!?" and drove home singing, "Ding, Dong the __itch is dead...!" So happy. February I was immersed in chick flicks and tissues crying my eyeballs out (until my cycle hit again!) March was no problem. Easter was impossible - I was the biggest Easter Grinch you could've seen! and so on and so on... up until two nights before the surgery I was crying on my pillow thinking I was completely nuts for doing this. Fortunately the next day brought a really great Pre-op appt with my surgeon and I was rarin' to go again! I am now coming out on the other side and am soooo glad I did it! I am looking forward to having EVERY week of the month available to me rather than being only a percentage of what I know I am capable of for at least 2 of those weeks. I am looking forward to being able to live life to its fullest without having to try to explain to others that no, I'm not playing the PMS card, it really is *that* awful. I am looking forward to not being woken up in the middle of the night in excruciating pain and puking my guts out. I am looking forward to not having to worry about the awkward conversations with management about my repeated absences. I'm looking forward to enjoying my marriage! (and yes, I am relatively young...30...so REALLY didn't want to have to wait until mother nature brought me through menopause to finally get to that point!)
I KNOW this is a really tough decision....but for me and my heart...it has been such a joyful path of hope.

best to you!!!

ps...when you do get those supplies a "scratcher" is also a must! It has kept me sane and also doubled as a "reacher" for things that were just too far for me to twist/bend to reach. DH bought it for me in the hospital gift shop for $1.29....best gift EVER!

I am going through the same thing. I just found this site today and have found so much interesting stuff! I have mine the same day you do and I find myself having the same emotions and I too am so ready to have my life back!! Good luck!!
