Getting back to normal....

Many of you know that I have been down awhile! If you looked at my blog lately, you would notice that I have not logged on in a long time. Well, the months of Sept and Oct have been a blur for me! I had to have a complete hysterectomy Sept. 19th. Here it is the beginning of November and I am still trying to get some sense of normalcy! The Surgery was really not the problem! It was what happened as a result. I had to have this surgery because the drs were not able to "calm" down my female organs. After much research and tests they found polyps, cysts and endometriosis. Not only were my female organs damaged, but the endometriosis decided to fuse my organs to my bowels!

So after the surgery we had no idea that my bowels didn't like surgery! They decided to shut down. I ended up in the hospital a week later severely dehydrated and had lost 10lbs in less than 2 weeks. More was to follow. After the tests the drs decided that, as one dr put it, "I am fragile". Surgery, medication and food did not agree with my bowels! Here it is nearly 7 weeks later and I am still trying to get everything straighten out! But, as the test show, I am severely twisted on the inside! They had never seen bowels so twisted and red before and show no signs of a disease! WONDERFUL!

I will say, that life is getting better even with these ups and downs. I have one more dr visit this week to the neurologist to find out more. We will see!

I must say I could never had gone through this if it wasn't for my WONDERFUL husband! He is the best Dad and hubby in the whole world! I thank God for him and will be sad if anything happens to him! He has been my rock, ears, dr, cook, housekeeper, and the MOM, when I was not doing well! I LOVE HIM TO DEATH!!!

Thanks for letting me share!
