The Year Of Medical, part next

[gement]

Heyyy, so I've put this off and can no longer put this off: I'm having major but non-terrible abdominal surgery a week from today! After much travail, I'm getting a uterus-b-gone, and I am SO HAPPY ABOUT THAT

Woo hoo uterus-b-gon! I hope it goes smoothly and quickly.

Best of luck for smooth sailing! I'll be back in town tomorrow, so I'll keep an eye out for the spreadsheet, heh.

I'm glad it's being dealt with, but I'm sorry you have more major medical-foo to handle this year.

Honestly the uterus b-gone surgery was one of the best things that ever happened to me. Here's hoping it is great for you!

Seconded on all counts.

omg I have to know all gory details. Fibroids are making my life miserable one week a month, and the rest of the month I'm barely dragging myself out of bed. I need to research ferritin. like, a lot.

There are options. So many options. Get thee to an obgyn. They will recommend trying to shrink them, which frankly has extremely variable success rates but can also ease symptoms and make surgery a smaller deal, and also offer the option of taking off/out just the fibroids, or getting the whole uterus gone
