I tried to post this in the PB but it wouldn't let me for some reason.

After much discussion with my obgyn I have decided to have a partial hysterectomy. They will be scheduling my surgery next week and I'm guessing it'll be done within a month or two. It's a laparascopic hysterectomy so just three tiny incisions and I'll be in the hospital overnight and recovery is about 1-2 weeks. I have exhausted all other options and my endo has gotten out of control and I'm in constant pain and the heavy bleeding horrible wacky periods was driving me absolutely crazy. I also have two fibroids on top of it all. I was tired all the time and even sex is starting to be painful. I can't take a hormone pill due to my migraines so this was a good option for me. I want my life and my health back!

Having said that I am a little nervous about the surgery. I will be knocked completely out and my doc will remove the upper part of my uterus, leaving my ovary and my cervix. She will also clear out all the endo I have in there which is what I really want. When she told me she recommended the operation I wanted to jump up and down and hug her. I know what the side effects might be and I know what the risks are (possibly going into menopause much earlier) but you know what? I don't care. I am READY to be over with this chapter in my life!


thanks for reading
