On December 13, 2011, I had surgery to fix a vaginal floor prolapse and to have a hysterectomy. I was excited for the fixes because they are ultimately supposed to help relieve a lot of my pain.
My doctor did tell me from the start that my pain may increase for a short while after the surgery, so we decided we would deal with that on a day to day basis. My recovery wasn't awful, and the pain was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. I was laid up for a good 6 weeks with the help of Dave and the girls. And Skyrim.
I knew these were the best options for me considering the condition I was in. I didn't plan on having any more children, so I asked that they perform a hysterectomy as well. While I STILL feel that it was the right decision for me as part of my care and pain management, I do find that I get a little nostalgic and a wee bit regretful when I see everyone around me having babies. I'm happy for them, no question there. It just causes a sort of "internal mourning" I suppose.
Maybe I can articulate this at an earlier hour sometime. Or, maybe not. We will just have to see what comes up.
