Hi all

[Guest guest]

Just wanted to thank you for all the support over the latest drama in my

life with my upcoming hysterectomy. Right now can't sleep and walking

around rubbing my belly. Right now it's the size of about a four month

pregnancy. I'm really uncomfortable and the emotions are running

high.Cannot believe how big and how fast it is growing. So disgusted

about that and my beloved tummy tuck. Hoping there will be no permanent

stretching and it will go back to being as flat as a board where I can

bounce a quarter off of it after the surgery. I know, with everything

else going on, this is what I'm worried about. It took me 40 years to

acquire some vanity and I'd rather think about that then all the other

crap associated with the surgery, like anesthesia that always makes me

sick, four days in a hospital, blechh and then the few weeks of

recuperating and telling my daughter to watch out when she comes near me

so she won't hurt mommy's belly. Tired of bleeding like a stuck pig and

was told today that my counts are so low that I may have to be

transfused before the surgery. Taking iron suppls and eating iron

enriched foods aren't helping with this much bleeding. I can't even

maintain what little I have right now. Will be having blood drawn next

week to check if counts have improved even slightly.

Ok, pity party over. Just tired emotionally and physically. Needed to

vent a bit and the hubby and kids are sleeping and the dog is having his

own crisis with the thunder storm we're having and the cat could really

give a hoot about my problems or anyone elses for that matter. Maybe

should go have a talk with the fish. At least he's a captive audience.

Thanks for listening.
