On blog leave for a while...and a goodbye letter :)
Right in the middle of all the blog candy fun with TCP this week, I am taking some blog leave. I'm actually having a hysterectomy done tomorrow morning (Tuesday), and will be in the hospital for a couple of days. I'm pretty nervous but am hoping that the relief after the lengthy recovery process will be well worth it. And, in the spirit of blogging/journaling, I wrote a goodbye letter to my uterus :)
Dear Ute,
I know you've been with me for 36 years now, but it's time to say goodbye. Our relationship has had many problems in the past few years, and I need to end it. So, on Tuesday we will be heading to the hospital where you will be surgically removed while I catch some zzzzz's in the OR.
On a positive note, you were the place where my kiddos grew from little grains of rice to 7- and 9-pound babies, and for that I will be eternally grateful. They are happy, healthy kids, and I couldn't have done it without you (or my hubby!). But then...those fibroids got in there and started giving me problems - and I can't deal with another 15 or 20 years of that - so it's time for you to leave.
Thank you for everything you've done for me. You did a great job! I will think of you when Aunt Flo no longer comes to visit every month - WAHOO!!!
Toni

Wishing you a speedy recovery! I too have fibroids, and so far they don't bother me too much. I'm hoping they stay that way!

I'm so glad you are keeping your sense of humor amid your health issues:) Laughter really IS the best medicine. All the best to you in your surgery & recovery...I have said a prayer for you. Thanks for sharing the cute letter...you added a smile to my day.
Good luck with your surgery. May you recover quickly and comfortably. Love the letter:)
Good luck Toni! Your letter is so cute...my mom has had a radical hysterectomy, a gall bladder removal and a hernia repair all in the past four or five years so I am sure she'll appreciate the link I'll send her!
Very cute! I wish you an easy surgery and quick recovery!! Looking forward to all you create once you are ready!
Not to worry...I had a hysterectomy & went home the next morning. It was also a very quick recovery. I couldn't play it for all its worth!! I hope recovery goes even better. Just make sure you have someone to give you a back rub afterward!
Good luck, and best wished for a speedy and safe recovery! I LOVE the letter! Scrap it!

You are so funny, Toni! Now, I don't think I would have ever thought of this. Good luck to you and goodbye to Ute!! hee hee
At my daughter's work, they had a going away party for one gal's uterus, complete with a cake. (She works at a pharmacy.) I thought the cake looked a little creepy...but the cupcakes shape like ovaries were pretty popular. Anyway, goodbye Toni's uterus!
Hope all goes well and you'll get relief!
Take care of yourself and follow dr's orders!
LOL at your letter, but sorry you have to have surgery. That's never fun. I hope you have a speedy recovery! (((HUGS)))
