Ready, Set, Purge!

I'm starting this blog more as a way for me to talk about what's been going on for at least the past two years but probably more like three years now. It has affected my life more than most people know. I thought that by writing it down it would help me purge and maybe just maybe help someone else along the way. I have invited a few of you along for the ride and if you know of someone that may benefit from this then feel free to pass it along to them too.

DISCLAIMER: I am not going to leave much out. It will be graphic at times and brutally honest.

This blog will tell the story of my struggle over the past few years with my emotional, physical and mental health due to the physical and hormonal troubles surrounding my lovely lady parts. Menstrual cycle, prolapse, PMS, hormonal roller coaster rides, etc. I will break it up into easier to read parts so you aren't reading a 40 page single blog post but am not sure how I am going to tackle it exactly. I'll figure it out along the way. I hope to cover a lot of what I am dealing with, my doctor appointments, my pending surgery and then my recovery.

I did a post on my family blog asking my readers what their new years resolutions were. I never did post mine but it's simple, get this taken care of, feel healthy again and get back to being me. I have not felt like myself for a long time now hence the name of my blog...

Lovely lady parts, I love it! Thanks for sharing. I'm sure it will help more people than you know.

I am here to help and support you anyway that I can! I am glad you are doing this so that I have an idea of what is going on in your life, not just the family stuff but with you! I love you!

Although my lovely lady parts are not giving me grief as of yet, the word Prolapse is well known to the women in my family. You can contact me directly if you want to know more.

Purge away... I for one, am a pretty good listener, and I'm glad you've included me in your journey.

PURGE ON SISTER!! We've all got on our big girl panties...so be as graphic & honest as you will! If you can't talk about this with us...who can you!!?
I had my hysterectomy in July...best money we've ever spent! Well, except for those adorable shoes I bought once...

Wow, Tiff! I had no idea you were going through all this!! I know I had my hysterectomy when Joel & Su were little- maybe 9 & 10?? Best thing I ever did! I felt better immediately (well, after I quit throwing up from the anesthesia, anyway...)
