I have no uterus!
I have no ovaries!
I have no boobs!
What happened to me? :)
Watch out Cancer! You're next!
Ok, the latest:
on Monday I had a hysterectomy. They couldn't use the port for the IV or the Anesthetic, so they had to find a vein in my foot. Now that was a joy...let me tell you! Being VERY ticklish was not helpful. They called in a doctor to put the IV in my foot. He was very nice and very laid back. (Polynesian dude). He couldn't find a good vein, so he went and got a really cool machine called: The Vein Viewer. COOL! It shinned a green light on my foot and anywhere that there was a vein it stayed black. CRAZY! So he found a vein and the nurse held down my leg so I didn't kick him when he touched my foot. (TICKLISH) Then he poked it. OUCH! it wouldn't thread. He tried and tried. Meanwhile Jenni is getting all pale watching him and has to look away so she doesn't pass out. He decides to try the other foot. I looked up and there are 8 medical personal all around me. WOW! How many medical personal does it take to put in and IV? apparently 8. :) He got it to work this time. It was on the inside of my foot/ankle. So after all that... they realized they forgot to have me pee in a cup to make sure I'm not pregnant. TRUST ME PEOPLE I'M NOT PREGNANT! So with this needle in my foot, I have to walk to the bathroom walking on the outside of my foot so I don't mess up the needle. I was right! I'm not Pregnant! and that's a good thing! (I understand they have to test everyone)
Surgery went well. I wasn't as funny coming out this time. In fact, I was kind of crabby. The surgery took about 3 hours. There was a lot of scar tissue because of my intopic surgery back in the 80's so they couldn't do it laperscopically. So they went to plan B and I had a vaginal hysterectomy. Which is good. No incisions.
I was very nauseous last night, but feeling much better today. Hopefully I'll be able to go home soon. I'm waiting for the doc to come check on me and I have to go to the bathroom before they'll let me leave. So Jenni and I are now watching Loony Toons and Janell's on her way. And Terry's at work.... but he was here at 6am this morning checking on me. :)

Just because there is less of you doesn't mean we love you any less. You will be ALL of you again someday just right now parts were "offending thee" so you needed to "cut them off". 100% female spirit still in check so you are good to go. Love you and hope to come see you this week before my vacation.

So the phrase 'run through the wringer' fits you to a 't'. Or tee, which ever is correct. And what does that mean anyway? Ok, back to the wringer. Have you ever seen a wet towel go through a wringer? Its all squishy and wrinkly. Well no matter how squishy and wrinkly you end up (kidding!) you will always be beautiful. Hang in there cuz! I love you!
