Post-Hysterectomy Anomalies — Recovery Day 8
That's Hysterical! Now, Get Out! | My Adenomyosis, Hysterectomy and Recovery Journey
“The person hosting the event asked me, Why should somebody start a podcast? My answer was to help. To help. If your voice, if your brain, if your story, especially, can help somebody else, If you can make people laugh, if you can give somebody knowledge that they didn't have before, if you can keep someone company in the loneliest moments of their lives, which was how I found podcasts, if you're an introvert and you want to try playing an extrovert's game for a while in order to help yourself, if you're helping an organization you care very much about, if you're helping spread awareness, if...

In This Episode:
-
I got the official OK to drive again! Yay! This is the episode all about my two-week follow up appointment, including what was found on my scans from the hysterectomy.
-
It’s nice to be getting back into the swing of podcast editing for my clients again! (Lookling for a podcast editor? Reach out - [email protected])
-
As I write these show notes now, I’m realizing this is the beginning of my letting go of worrying too much about what the scale says and focusing more on how I feel and how my clothes fit. I’ve been leaning into Intuitive Eating (with some Intermittent Fasting, as well) ever since.
-
The little bit of blood I saw was perfectly normal and most likely just my stitches, as it turns out.
-
I got to see actual pictures of my endometriosis and a cyst. Adenomyosis was camera-shy, apparently, but my doctor said that doesn’t mean it wasn’t there.
-
But for now, I’m celebrating! I haven’t needed the heating pad as much since my hysterectomy two weeks ago. As I write these show notes and get ready to publish this episode a few months later, I an still say this surgery gave me my life back!
