I had the surgery on Thursday afternoon. It was a 2 hour procedure. I’m now minus one large uterus. My doctor said a healthy uterus is the size of a small lime. My unhealthy uterus was the size of a large grapefruit. Ick! I’m thankful to be rid of [...]
I’m still tired, but the stresses are gradually being marked off my list.
I bought a car today.
3 days down & only one more to go this week with the 9 hour days.
Less than 36 hours until I get to hug DD11 again.
All that’s left is the hysterectomy - and that’s not going to be done [...]
Have you ever seen ear candling?
I saw it for the first time today. I saw someone standing beside someone sitting in a chair holding a big wax funnel type thing that was on fire at one end. It looked like a huge cigar that was on fire. They did not use a protective [...]

Youngest daughter’s music program was tonight. She had a solo and did really well. [...]

I went to a new doctor yesterday. I don’t like going to the doctor so much…. but since I’ve been feeling icky/blah lately, I decided to go.
I’m picking up one of these saliva tests tomorrow to send off for testing “free hormones” and will be having blood work done in 2 weeks to test total [...]
I need to lose 75 lbs still… have lost 10 in the past 3 months… to reach my goal. My goal weight is about 5 pounds over my ideal weight. However, I’d be happy if I was within 15 - 20 pounds of my goal weight. I’d be so much closer than I am now!
