I knew that I wanted to do this LO, but I wasn't sure if I was going to post it in the gallery. It's so very personal and I wasn't sure if it was appropriate. Then I saw that someone had scrapped about their miscarriage and I thought, "why not! This is what scrapbooking is all about, right?" The journaling reads:

8-6-10: This was the last day I had to take birth control pills (hooray)! Because on 8-7-10 I had a laproscopic supra-cervical hysterectomy or LSH. It turms out, I had a rare type of fibroid that grew into my uterine cavity and caused severe bleeding, cramping, and anemia. I was so tired and exhausted from anemia, I could hardly function (not to mention the horrible, heavy periods).

This new LSH procedure was done out-patient with only a 2-4 week recovery time and 4 small abdominal incisions (that's me with my Coo' Bear the day after surgery at my friend Michelle's house). I feel like I'm supposed to be sad because I no longer have a uterus and can never have children, but I'm not. I'm one of those rare women who never had a desire to have my own children (despite having been married for 13 years). All I can think about is how happy I am because I'll NEVER have to take the pill again, I'll never have another period, and never have to worry about accidently getting pregnant--and I'm SO happy about that!

Now, I just need to lose some weight and I'll be estatic!

TFL! :D
