An Ache That Can't Be Soothed
I'm considering taking lots of photos. My doctor promised me photos of the surgery and the fibroids and enlarged uterus.
I've never seen anyone's incision after surgery, and I was thinking of taking a photo of it every day as I heal.
Maybe it'll scare people or put them off.
I bruise easily. A lot.
I was reading online that redheads often have some sort of clotting problem. That sounds like me all over. I'm not a redhead like some women you see, not that orange hair and orange freckles and brown or green eyes.
I'm blue eyed, no real skin pigment (I can't tan, only burn then freckle) and my hair is a light brown that seems to turn coppery-red after it grows out a half an inch. I bruise. Oh man, do I bruise. And I get bloody noses.
These are all supposed to be some sort of thing that redheads are pre-disposed to.
I'm not sure why I bring this up. I'm a little worried about bleeding, but I'm set to give a unit of blood next Thursday.
Any questions or feedback? Feel free to email me.

Elizabeth, thanks for your comment on my site: Diana Oakley's Weblog. Feel free send me an email if you have any questions regarding surgery. My roommate and I had hysterectomies two and a half months apart for different reasons, so between the two of us there is bound to be an answer. We're determined to make good out of this.
