It's sinking in

My surgery date has been confirmed for April Fools' Day, and that means March 2014 is the last month I will ever spend, ever, in the constant company of my own uterus.

Weird.

Just yesterday I had a proper meltdown about all of it — and I do mean ALLLLLLLLLL of it.

Of course on the one hand, I want the organ gone. But its shenanigans have been integral to my very identity for such a long time. A lifetime, really. So it will be interesting to learn what all comes up (and out?) along with it.

Have as many good cries as you want. Feel free to be totally ok with what's coming one day, and terribly sad about it the next. I've been there. I had a hysterectomy in June 2013 at the age of 29. I Came across your blog from a listing on another, so I don't know every detail of your story or what has led you here. Of course our experiences won't be exactly the same. I can tell you though, that I felt better immediately. Of course there was pain from the surgery, but I immediately could tell that a source of so much constant chronic pain was just gone. I felt lighter. I felt freer. The pain had been so pervasive for so long that I didn't even realize how much it was affecting my daily life. I can do so much more now. There have been moments of sadness, and there still are. They have become rarer and fewer as I find my joys in other things. I don't need to be pregnant to be a parent. I don't need a uterus to be a wife and partner to my husband. I don't need to be in pain every day just to prove that I am strong.
There's life on the other side of hysterectomy, and it's a good life. I wish you nothing but the best this month, in your procedure, and in your healing afterward. Good luck.

Thank you for sharing your experience with me, Rachel. Your comment "I don't need to be in pain every day just to prove that I am strong" hits home. I really am looking forward to life after the surgery!

fix your broken relationship with love spells that work fast‎!
My boyfriend of a 4yr just broke up with me and am 30 weeks pregnant.I have cried my self to sleep most of the nights and don’t seem to concentrate during lectures sometimes I stay awake almost all night thinking about him and start to cry all over again.Because of this I end up not having energy for my next day’s classes ,my attendance has dropped and am always in uni and on time.Generally he is a very nice guy ,he ended it because he said we were arguing a lot and not getting along.He is right we’ve been arguing during the pregnancy a lot .After the break up I kept ringing him and telling him I will change.I am in love with this guy and he is the best guy I have ever been with.I’m still hurt and in disbelief when he said he didn’t have any romantic feelings towards me anymore that hurt me faster than a lethal syringe.He texts me now and then mainly to check up on how am doing with the pregnancy,he is supportive with it but it’s not fair on me, him texting me as I just want to grieve the pain and not have any stress due to the pregnancy.i was really upset and i needed help, so i searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr Unity can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it then he did a spell for me. 28 hours later, my bf came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I and my bf are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Unity. If you have any problem contact Dr.Unity now and i guarantee you that he will help you.Email him at: Unityspelltemple@gmail.com ,you can also call him or add him on whats-app: +2348071622464.
