Today, the 8th of November, is my 13th anniversary for the surgical removal of my internal reproductive organs. I had myoma and I was operated on with TAHBSO. I had the operation in the hospital where I was the head nurse for 7 years.
This day is also the birthday of my childhood friend who died on June of 2004. She was a year older than me. She is 13 years gone now. Her husband is the owner of the noodle house where us 3 siblings ate our brunch.
November indeed is a remarkable month for me.

We are still in the 7th, in Michigan. Your country is ahead of us, time-wise. I'm glad you are doing well, after that serious illness and surgery afterwards. Have a great day:)

@kobesbuddy my friend, TAHBSO, is total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. it is the total removal of all my reproductive organs because my uterus had benign myoma. my ovaries, fallopian tubes, cervix, and whole uterus are already surgically removed. that is why i always joke that i am already a man.

i expected the surgery so it is not my second life. i would consider my attack last 2010 as my 2nd life, and last year as my 3rd life. the myoma was surgically managed and i felt okay, but not this time because i have heart ailment.
