{WeLL, iT iS AbOUt TiMe!}

It is ... about time to update on the goings on for the past 9 1/2 months. It is ... about time, or lack of time, or I just choose to spend my time doing things other than updating the blog.
{We'll take a look back in another post}
It is ... about time
to stop coping and start living!

{what this post is about}

It is documented that my first visit to my ob for abnormal hemorrhagia was in June of 07. That was after I had suffered from it for a few months. It proceeded to get worse and, at times, embarrassing. {Thanks K Hughes for being there when I desperately needed help.} I've been housebound, bed bound, hormone taking, vitamins and minerals taking, on 3 types of birth control {sometimes at the same time} and tried not to participate in too many social events. :( Bottom line...MISERABLE! Miserable I will be no more!! Thanks to my doctor and the ablation procedure I had yesterday. Thermachoice III) I have a fear of anesthesia and was mostly concerned about that. I'd rather have a spinal so I can know what's going on, ask some questions along the way, maybe even watch a little. They must have something written in my chart from past c-sections because after a wonderful 35 minute nap, the surgery was complete. Although I have some nausea,cramping, minor pain, light bleeding and a sore throat from intubation, this recuperation is but a small price to pay for a hopeful outcome. Thank you for your support, thoughts & prayers and food. I am now going back to bed to sleep off some pain with the assistance of darvocet. The future looks bright! ;)

Well I'm sad I'm not able to be there to do something for you! So I guess all I get to do is pray for you. But I'm SO glad that prodecure worked for you! That's awesome! Hopefully you continue to mend well! Love you!

I don't know what to be happier about, the fact that you updated your blog, or that things went so well with your surgery. Here's to a speedy recovery. So, I guess in a few weeks we can expect you at our morning workouts?? The boys are having a blast--eating pizza, playing Star Wars, and watching Max and Ruby! Get feeling better!!
