13 months
Life at just a little over 13 months post TAH is nothing like I imagined it would be. As I celebrated my one year hysterversary I was reminded of just how great life is. I had my yearly check-up with Dr. C last month.
I tried to schedule it around the anniversary of the hysterectomy so that I would remember every year to get checked. I was nervous to go to the doctor, yet anxious to see what it would feel like to have a pelvic exam. When I got in there I was pretty happy. He did the exam and I felt no pain (this in itself made me want to scream pure joy). He said that everything healed beautifully and there is minimal scar tissue deep inside. The pelvic floor therapy and patience to heal really paid off. We discussed minor kinks that need to be worked out and I was given a clean bill of health. This is still something I am in awe of to this day, a month later.
The days have been so busy and filled with working too much and beginning all the festivities that come with starting the summer up. When May 27 hit I honestly didn’t remember that it was 13 months. There really isn’t a need to keep celebrating in a huge way, but I always try to take a minute to thank God and remember my amazing physician who gave me my life back.
Sometimes as I am driving and just pondering various things I have to remind myself that I am still not just an ordinary woman. I am a girl who has gone through extraordinary happenings and that is what makes me the woman that I have become at this present time in my life.
I used to wonder what life would be like if I hadn’t ever had endometriosis. Where would I be now? Mostly this occurs when my life is down and nothing seems to fall into place.
Currently, there are so many positives in my life. I am beyond grateful for what I have… I am truly blessed. I have my health, an amazing job, a blossoming relationship with a special guy, and support from all my friends. What more would a girl want?
I am excited to see what the next 11 months brings in not only my health but every aspect of my life. As I finish up my education degree and prepare to be in the real world full time, it is my hope that my endometriosis remains in the remission stage and I can begin life how it should have always been.
I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day holiday! Stay safe!
