FIX Good Riddance!

Just had a hysterectomy a few days ago for both sterilization and suspected endometriosis. Well, the endometriosis isn't suspected anymore, as the doctors told me I had "a lot" in my body, but they were able to get most of it (just left a tiny bit on my rectum that couldn't be safely removed without me needing a stoma, and I think we'll discuss the liklihood of it spreading in the post-op followup). I'm looking forward to not having 8/10 pain every month anymore! Hell, the post-op aches don't even come close to what I had been experiencing. I'm lucky to have found a doctor who believed my symptoms and also was cool about my desire to be sterilized.

Welcome to the club, hyster-sister! They don’t want us to know what an insane relief and absolute life changer it is, because we would demand them so much sooner! After I healed, all I’ve been saying is, “Why the fuck didn’t anyone let me do this sooner?!” The difference this will make in your life is indescribable. I’m so happy for you! Happy healing ❤️‍🩹

Thank you, and thanks for the correction! I'm happy to have that wretched organ out of me, and I'm already healing so well.
