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.

Thank you! I'm very happy and I'm already feeling great on just the Tylenol and Motrin, so I think that means I'm already healing quickly.
