Her Uterus Is Hystery

Nemy lost her uterus this morning. The days of heavy bleeding and stabbing cramp pains are over. Thankfully, they were able to do it laproscopically, so she didn't end up with the big ol' abdominal incision. And she got to keep her ovaries so she won't be pushed into early menopause. She also lost three fibroid tumors the size of oranges (1) and lemons (2). Along with the ability to have children.

I saw her tonight. She looked good. She looked tired. We took a 25 foot walk during which she had to sit down and take a break. She mentioned her desire to adopt one day and we talked about her upcoming wedding. She was positive. At the end of visiting hours (8:30 PM), she looked ready to crash.

I loaned her "A HeartBreaking Work of Staggering Genius" (no, she hadn't read it yet - imagine!) and brought her some bright purple tulips in a square blue glass vase. Kissed her on the top of the head and headed home.

XOXO Sisee. Get well soon.
