Fibroids

Ugh! I usually keep my blips upbeat and positive but these Fibroids are more than an inconvenience.

In an attempt to document my true state of mind and body…. This is me. At 9:00 on Monday evening. Exhausted from a horrible nights sleep and a full day of work. It’s not so much the pain during the day, it’s the shortness of breath, the fatigue and waves of nausea. My clothes don’t fit due to my growing fibroids and midsection, I’m looking every bit of 4 months pregnant without the associated joy! Bending over and leaning against my belly leads to pain and nausea. Even walking the dog to the end of the road is exhausting. I have random headaches that no medication can resolve. I’m not hungry but recognize I need to eat.

I’m trying to keep my complaints to myself as it really doesn’t change anything. I muddle through my day counting down the hours before my surgery. All the while maintaining normalcy in my daily routines.

Although I am nervous and anxious about going under the knife and then recovery, I am ready. I want my body back, I want my energy back, I want to feel like myself again!

For now, I will continue to countdown the days…. and try for better sleep.
