Bleeding
I guess I'm getting back to my real life.
My recovery was overshadowed this weekend with a bit of a startling health problem with my husband. He came back from his most recent trip with what we thought was a stomach flu. Well, it wouldn't go away so he went to the doctor and they suspected appendicitis.
Some blood tests still didn't rule it out so he went back the next day and they decided it was diverticulitis. So he's on massive doses of antibiotics. He was running a fever for the whole week and horrible night sweats.
But he's a trooper and insisted on going on his latest business trip.
That's not something I would do.
Other than that, I'm feeling good. The belly is still big at the end of the day. I'm pre-menstrual (sorry, post-ovulatory), so my breasts are a little sore and my chin, neck and chest are breaking out.
I need to start working out more and of course eat a little better. It'll be easier when my husband gets back from his trip.

About Me: I'm in my late thirties and suffered with large fibroids until August '04 when I had a supracervical hysterectomy. Keep reading as I'll cover topics on long-term recovery from hysterectomy.

Hi Elizabeth :)My name is Judy and I contribute here under chronic pain, fybromyalgia....."My life with Fibromyalgia"I was perusing the site and came across your journal.Wow, what a n incredicbly detailed and well written account. I was being tested over the last 6-9 mos for causes of extra/untimely bleeding and an 'oversized uterus'........I read up on fibroids.....finally it turned out my uterus isn't that oversized and no fibroids on the scan.Your story is one of courage and determination and a sharing of a very personal battle.I just wanted to write and commend you on it and let you know that you have educated and inspired me. I wish you the best, always, and will check back in.BTW After my mom's hysterectomy they said any bleeding would be a sign that she was overdoing it. She was no where near as active as you, but maybe 4 miles is a bit much this soon. Just take care of you!
