Yes. A hysterectomy.

A fibroid here, a fibroid there, whose counting?

Also, something about a prolapsed uterus. After having kids, my uterus pretty much said "Alrighty then, I've done my job, so I'm fixin to sit back on this here tailbone, lean against that there bladder, and invite a few fibroids over" and all that, put me in some pain. I have tailbone and lower back pain all.the.time., and I am always in the potty. I've been asked to replace my office chair with a toilet on more than one occasion. And I've thought about it.

So, I'm thinking............. Uterus............... bad shape................ I had all them kids..............pressure against tailbone............. is it official? Are my kids medically a pain in my ass? I'll have to ask my doc. I believe he would agree though. I mean really, how many g-y-n offices have Jimi Hendrix playing in the background as opposed to xm elevator music? I am so not kidding. Flower children? Yep, has pictures of them too. Pink Floyd? Pictures of swirls in primary colors? Yep, He's got it all. I really like him. Lets just hope his laparoscopy hand is as great as his "bedside" manner.

So,
I read many blogs. Not so many that I cant keep up, but I do read about 16 blogs with regularity. (Remember,. not everyone posts everyday) That means they're in my favorites. That includes the new one I just put in. I do that . I will bump one and stop reading for awhile, and somehow find a new one to replace it. Especially if they only post once a month. Sometimes I just grow bored. It's a fact. But I always keep around 16, its like I have blog quota or something I have to meet. I don't do it intentionally, its more like cleaning out the car at the gas station, I know it needs to be done on occasion, I need to really spruce up that passenger side floorboard, (aka my favorites folder) so I buckle down, get in there and do it.

One of the blogs I read is about a divorce'. She makes me roll my eyes at the court system in her state, and remember the asshole I was married to years ago. Although, she's no longer blogging as much about her (hopefully) soon to be ex husband and the courts and tremendous amounts spent in attorney fees. Needless to say, she keeps me interested. Today she wrote about an experience she had as a child. I asked her if I could link to her. Because I'm new at this and don't know the proper protocol for linking to other bloggers, I thought I should ask permission. So if you will, go on over, take a look at the story and come on back and lemme know if it hit you like it hit me. (ok- granted I am new at this- but dammit, i know how to insert a freakin' link! Blogger says it is experiencing problems so maybe that has to do with it. Whatever the reason, i'm having a helleva time posting a link so how about clickin' on it over at the sidebar? Please? - oh and its called the Upbeat Divorce')

Maybe I have just seen too many "lifetime for women" movies, or maybe this whole hysterectomy thing has me in a wallow-ee (Yes that's a word) state, but I was just like............. "man-o-man" and I admit, I was tearin' up. Again, this may all be because I am teetering on insanity with kids, husband, work, my best friend moving to Orlando (I know its been a year, I haven't gotten over it!) life, lack of bacardi limone in the house tonight, lack of something I am able to mix it with (because of WW rules), or whatever, but by the end of the story, I just had alot of respect for her mom and a feeling of awe, an aura if you will. And I thought it was worth mentioning. It's also important to note, this is not a shameless plug. Not enough people read me to actually plug anything. lol

Also, I wanted to say a little something about the WW/Weight loss challenge i'm going to taking! Lets just say it has to do with the blog world and once i get Heathers (Another Heather's) "ok", then i will post some details and send you on over to her site. But because i am following protocol again......... im going to ask permission first. And really, waiting for permission is so hard for me. I've always gone with the notion its better to ask forgiveness than it is permission.

(Also, I am in process of adding the blogs I read, thinking that all the cool kids do it and i want to , too (like you care - sure you do!) on the sidebar, but my oldest is bitchin' at me right now so i gotta go!)
