Well it's been awhile since I've updated my blog, mainly because I'm still going thru corrective surgeries! So far 3 and getting ready for a 4th on October 31st. Yes, Halloween, it should be a hoot!! Holla!!
Anyway, not happy with the results of being down for the last 3 years for a hysterectomy. The joys I've had during this time have been with my grandson who is now 4 years old. He's been through all my surgeries, seen Gramma Mary with catheters, knowing I've got booboos, and helping Gramma Mary as much as he can. I love him so much. He's so near and dear to my heart. There's a different love for your grandbabies, such a different love that I can't even explain it. We are so close and know when each other needs a hug. We bake cookies, cakes and all types of food together. We dance on the spur of a moment, we play outside when weather is good and he makes my heart fill over with laughter. If not for my grandson, these last 3 years would be so far left in my life that I can't express how I would be feeling.
I cry and laugh at the same time when I think of my grandson, that's how I make it through my days. Now even better, I've got a granddaughter and we absolutely have a connection just like my grandson. I whisper in her ear that Gramma Mary loves her and she gives me kisses and hugs. It makes my heart melt to know that kind of love. I wish we lived closer so I could see her every day. I think all families should all live in one large housing complex, maybe condos all hooked together so they can see after each other year after year, day after day and minute after minute because life is too short.
Time has really passed quickly these last 3 years mainly because of all the surgeries, the surgeries gone wrong.
I know I'm rattling on about random stuff, that's what happens when post menopause and anesthesia mix too often, lol. At least I've got my humor, without that and God I would fail miserably.
Back to post menopause, well there's been changes, not too many hot flashes anymore, my body finally adjusted, it was in shock at first with the hysterectomy, something they don't tell you along with a host of other things. Thank God for my husband who's more of a health food nut than I am and found an article on Black Cohosh 540mg that worked wonders for my hot flashes!!! It's a must, it regulates our hormones naturally and no drugs or synthetic hormones like, eg. premarin, estrogen, etc...
Ladies, keep a sense of humor, if you don't have one, find one, it will make your life easier and keep you smiling.
I was blessed to be able to see Sinbad live in November 2010, right after my surgery in August 2010 and God bless him, he talked about hospitals, nurses, doctors, and in general had me in stitches!!! I laughed so hard. Thanks to my wonderful, compassionate daughter, Sarah Louise Wilson, for purchasing the tickets for my birthday that year!! I love Sinbad's humor like I love Bill Cosby. Sitting hear smiling just thinking about their humor.
So ladies, what have you learned? Humor, laugh often. See your grandbabies and children and love them to pieces, you never know how long you'll be able to be around them. Give them lots of hugs, cookies, ice cream, bubbles, basically anything they want, lol. Face it, we're put here to spoil them.
Looking forward to this last surgery, miracles do happen, cuz I'm tired, too much getting up every night, all night, every 2 hours. Haven't had 3-4 hours of sleep at once in so long that my body is craving sleep. Soon enough, Halloween!!! Two catheters will allow me to sleep, whew, I won't know how to act................
