Random thoughts

This is probably my last period. Ya know what? I'm not one bit upset about that. I'm more upset about not being able to go skydiving, which I was going to do for the newspaper's special summer section.

Until the surgery, I want to wear a T-shirt that says "I'm not fat. I have fibroids."

I'll never again have to worry about what kind of birth control to use and, more important, did it work.

When people find out I'm in the hopsital I can say "See? I told you I didn't feel well."

I'm wondering if not being able to bear children will be more attractive to guys in the age group I'd like to date.

I hope I don't have a reaction to the anesthetic (sp?) or any of the drugs.

I hope they give me good pain medication ... and lots of it.

How long will I have to be away from my computer? I wish I had a laptop.

The two women I've talked to about this, who have had hysterectomies told me the recovery process took a fairly long time but, six months later, they felt better than they've ever felt in their lives. I hope the same holds true for me.

A woman at work is 3 months pregnant. Despite my desire not to have children, that's going to be hard for me.

There's a commercial for some menopause drug. Part of it says "If you have a uterus ..." Yeah. Rub it in.

If I even feel like eating in the hospital, will they have low-carb-friendly stuff?

And, yeah, I'm still thinking about the cost. But what are they going to do? Not treat me?
