Adenomyosis

This Friday will be a big day for me.  I am scheduled for a full hysterectomy which includes removal of uterus, tubes, and cervix.  I have a long history of endometriosis, and now have developed what is called Adenomyosis.  Many people have asked what exactly this is so I thought I'd share so those asking would have a better understanding.  Unfortunately it is extremely painful and truly runs your life.  Just over the past 6-9 months I've gone from pain 1 to 2 weeks out of the month to pain occuring daily.  Even tasks as simple as just running a few errands causes a great deal of pain.  While I am very sad with the idea that there will be no more biological babies in my future, I am very much ready to have my life back and be pain free.   The link below should help give some understanding.

These made me laugh!  Funny yet very true!  Have to keep a sense of humor these days!
