..and i feel fine..
well,i'm starting to anyway.
was off the last 4 weeks..had a hysterectomy..so if you're wondering why i haven't been around,that's why.
by the time they got me in there,i had 35 pounds of fibroids in my gut.i felt like i'd been sucker punched by an elephant when i woke up.
no more periods,YAY!
i swore i'd dance about it..but yea,that ain't happening yet.
i'm a lot calmer tho..stuff pushing your organs around where they shouldn't be tend to make you b*tchy.

Having had an ovarian cyst the size of a watermellon removed when I was 17, I know how you feel... empty! It was a summer of leisure, my mom wouldn't let me do anything, not even the dishes.
Rest up, take it easy, and come by when you feel up to it.

@scarlet_woman Especially when you lie on your back and look where your belly used to be and all you see is a crater.

i know that song! hahaha!
another member had something similar. she was told it was like she was carrying twins. here's her discussion.
Found out yesterday the tumors were all benign, but they were necrotic. Early stages of that, but they had out grown their blood supplies and would start dying....

When they went for my fibroids, the found I had endometriosis as well. Good to have it over with. Good for you to have it over with, as well.
