Yes, the new year is here. And I, for one, am going to be a whole new me! Okay, that's a bad joke for having a total hysterectomy. I'll blame it on the drugs I am taking since I just had surgery yesterday. I'm feeling good, now. I have never had a spinal block before and I'm not sure I ever want to again. Yes, having morphine in my system for 24 hours was nice, but coming out of surgery and not being able to move my legs, feet or toes is one of the scariest feelings I have ever had. I like being in control. I was not in control of my body for awhile yesterday. I don't like that and hope I never have to go through that again.
On the bright side, I have been given the best care imaginable. My doctor is awesome and the nurses have been wonderful. And, I plan on being more energetic than I have for months or possibly even years.
Last, but not least, I have the most wonderful friends anyone could ask for. Thank you to all of you who have encouraged me and prayed for me. You guys are the greatest!

- I work with children that come from homes with abuse/neglect as an adoption caseworker. Seeing the happiness of children and their new families at the adoption hearing has to be some of the best moments of my life. I have made many friends through online forums and they are the reason I started this blog. I hope to make many more. I also have the two sweetest granddaughters anyone could imagine. I am lucky to get to spend lots of time with them.

You are going to feel so much better! I had a total hys when I was 25 and haven't felt better....
I remember when they got me up right after the surgery and I totally relate to what you are saying.
Things will get better quickly! However, we're going to enjoy spending more time with you during your time of rest!!!
Sista, I'm so glad it is behind you now and you can concentrate on recovering. Take advantage of the time off to really take care of you.
