All of my bills have been coming in lately. But one of them really drives home just how expensive surgery truly is and why for people without insurance, things like this are utterly impossible to obtain. And I wanted to share it to help illustrate why I support Health Care Reform. This is why I…

Still Sick, Medical Bills & Day Job Update
So I’m still dealing with the cold that I woke up with out of nowhere on Saturday. My poor lips are all cracked and split, my nose is red and scaly and now everything is turning to chest congestion so I’ve added coughing up nasty crap to my runny nose. Super fun and oh so…
Good Day Sunshine
I had my 6-week post-op appointment today. The doc came in the room and said, “Hello Sunshine!” 🙂 Had my exam and he said everything is perfect. No problems, everything is healing nicely. I am off restrictions and unless I have any problems, I don’t have to go back until next June for my regular…
6 Week Post Op Hysterectomy
Today is 6 weeks from surgery. Tomorrow I have my 6-week appointment with my doctor to see how I’m healing up. It’s a big stage in the healing since, if all is well, I get a lot more restrictions lifted and can get back to almost normal activities. Even though at 6 weeks you are…
Monday
Ok, so it’s Monday. And busy week ahead. First, the Honda. Love talked to a friend who gave a mechanic recommendation. Looked him up on Google and he’s got 10, 5-star reviews. Everyone says he’s honest and fair priced. Love’s friend has been going to him for years. So I’m waiting on AAA right now…
Five Weeks Post-Op

Next Thursday, I have my big 6 week appointment where they will let me know how things are healing internally. But, right now, all is pretty decent. The right incision is almost…
Post Hysterectomy Days 10 and 11
This weekend marked days 10 and 11 of my healing and recovery from my hysterectomy. Much remains the same. I’m still dealing with deep aches and pains around the incision sites (especially the one on the left which my doctor told me would be the one that hurt the most.) I’m begrudgingly still taking some…
A Week And A Day (Post Op Hysterectomy Day 8)
Today I go in at 1:45pm for my first post-op appointment with my doctor. I don’t know exactly what they do at the appointment to check on my progress (ultrasound? exam?) but it’s good to get some less medicated face-time with my doctor. LOL The last time I saw him was the morning I was…
Post Hysterectomy – Day Three
This is definitely going to be a longer, slower process than I realized. So many people reassured me that you feel so much better so quickly that I had let myself forget the severity of the surgery. This is MAJOR surgery. And there isn’t a part of my body unaffected by the process. Transitions are…
