At Least I Know ...

What separates us from men -- the ability to bear children (among other things, I suppose).  And it's those parts of our body that create life, bring us our miracles, that betray us. 

After a couple of months of poking and prodding and worrying and inventing, I have my answer; I have to have a hysterectomy.  After the initial visit with a new gynocologist and after his adamant response to my visit, he said my pain is "not gynocological."  His words.  So four doctors later and every procedure done, I return to another new gynocologist who, after hearing my history, says, "You should have a hysterectomy."   

But I thought it wasn't gynocological? (insert searing sarcasm here). 

For what it's worth, I knew it was, but who will listen to me?  It's just MY body, right?

So is that why I had a moment of wanting to break down in the office ... why my blood pressure was too high to leave?

Am I more scared of surgery or the idea of what it all means?

Still thinking about that one ... but it could be so much worse, and I know that. 

To be continued ...
