Home of the Hot Lil Brunet

Well I am now 7 months into year forty and its just been a hoot.  Started the year with a mammogram, well that was a real treat (not), but at least it was normal and non-eventful.  Now a much overdue check-up for the bottom half reveals that I have Adenomyosis.  So now I have a follow-up mid-July and most likely surgery in August.  I have no desire to have any more children as I still have little ones at home.  It seems though that maybe a cultural or philosophical (or religious?) mindset is making this seem like a harder decision than it should be.  Females in my direct hereditary line have all gone through this after having far worse diagnosis (cancer).  At this point for me it should be a no brainer to prevent even the idea of that kind of horror story.  Anyway I did find a good support group to take me through the next few months at Hyster Sisters.  I will say that I have learned more about my own anatomy in the last few days than I ever wanted to know.  I guess this is the next phase, eh?  Except, I didn’t think I was really done with the phase I was in… but in the interest of being here for my now 4-year old twins I guess a few days of discomfort and some mind-changing is in order.  Here’s hoping that July brings more sunshine than rain…
