My uterus is having its last party.
I am VERY excited about it being the last one.
Last night was spent on the heating pad again with legs up on the wall.
More than anything I hate how painful this has become. If you're a women and have experienced the worst; you know not many pain killers touch the cramping.
So I am going to have a total hysterectomy on Wednesday morning. Wish me luck.
The only thing that is working for the pain is knowing that this is the very last one I will ever have.
The thought of not having to go through this again is

any ideas?
I had this op done just before I was 40. Thats ages ago. Hoping it goes smoothly. You need to take it easy for a few months afterwards though. No heavy lifting etc.

Good Luck with everything.
