You guys.
It's been a few weeks since th...Wow. You guys. <br />It's been a few weeks since this post and to be totally honest, I have been in a mode of trying not to think of this..but I do anyway. but I push it aside everyday for the sake of my sanity and for my husband and kids. <br />Now, though the fact that it's been 3 weeks almost since the diagnosis is pushing me to really get things going..get this surgery over and done with and move on. I'm really scared of it becoming an emergency hysterectomy. <br />You all are so wonderful. <br />I read your comments every few days and I've wanted to reply since the moment I saw them here. I gave it some time in case anything new with this popped up, and it hasn't. I even thought that maybe getting a second opinion would change things. But it doesn't. <br />I'm just now starting to look at this as a way to push myself into focusing on not only my health, but my future: enjoying my two cute kids, focusing on my marriage, Natalie's extra attention for her heart, and taking time to actually make plans about my future as a college student. I have to use this as a opportunity rather than something horrible. <br />I have to. <br />I'm only strong because of the people I've surrounded myself with (so fortunate): you guys, my family, other friends. It takes one strong woman to know others and each of you have been through so much in your lives, as well. I'm so lucky to even get these comments from fellow moms who are so wonderful. I truly appreciate it. Each and every one of you...Dawn @ Bent, not brokenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01686743698444719038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17164571.post-80277374693767309642010-04-11T14:02:28.317-06:002010-04-11T14:02:28.317-06:00Dawn,
I am so sorry I'm only reading this now...Dawn,<br /><br />I am so sorry I'm only reading this now. I've been in oxycotton land thanks to a horribly painful root canal since Thursday :( <br /><br />I am so sorry to hear this. I know what you mean and I know it hurts so badly to hear it. I wish you guys nothing but the best and wish there was something I could do for you or give you some kind of 'in person' support. Just know if you ever need to talk, I'm always here, and just remember - you have two gorgeous kids, and they always make the days brighter!!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08419596594421910566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17164571.post-35881485585845904262010-04-09T12:43:20.845-06:002010-04-09T12:43:20.845-06:00((((HUGS)))))))((((HUGS)))))))Two Lines On a Stickhttp://www.twolinesonastick.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17164571.post-49690782220169052962010-04-09T08:01:29.360-06:002010-04-09T08:01:29.360-06:00You'll be ok, Dawn. And yes, I understand tha...You'll be ok, Dawn. And yes, I understand that it must be hard to have a decision like that made for you. Both my mother and my sister-in-law ended up having an emergency hysterectomy during childbirth. Imagine waking up and discovering your uterus was taken from you while you were sleeping! I know it doesn't make it much easier, but at least you get to decide the "when," even if the "if" was chosen for you. Hang in there. I'll be saying an extra prayer for you.<br /><br />PS - I LOVE the fact that you were willing to be a surrogate! That takes such a special person. I honestly don't know if I could ever do something like that. You truly are one of the most amazing people I know!!! And you will be okay. You will. xoxoxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16580503068121838329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17164571.post-29670422159379404272010-04-09T07:56:57.662-06:002010-04-09T07:56:57.662-06:00That is heavy stuff to find out.

You have time to decide and as long as you are feeling OK...don't rush. I am praying for you.Wodzisz Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03402962907991995167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17164571.post-58122983979001715722010-04-09T07:56:50.149-06:002010-04-09T07:56:50.149-06:00Oh my dear Dawn.

I've ha one of my ovaries and fylopian tube taken out a couple of months ago....and I will end up with another surgery in the couple of month to take everything else out, because i have another huge cyst that is killing my only ovary left. I know how your feeling. Knowing that you cannot have anymore children. Makes you angry inside. Angry as you can see soo many people having so many kids and not being able to take care of them. And here women like you and I get to have one or two children and boom no more! It makes you sad, cause that is a part of you. To me I keep on thinking " Gosh am I still going to be a women?" Losing those parts makes you sad, as they are who you are. Oh man i just want to cry with you. I just want to give you a huge hug. I feel for you there. I know how your getting so many mix emotions right now. And how confused you are about the whole situation. We will never know why us. Thats just something that is not possible to know. I hope all will go good for you! I really do!...Always remember that you are a strong women and you will over come struggle. I'm so sorry this had to happen to you after everything you guys have been through. love ya! hugsssss!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03317346543893820006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17164571.post-6353905126699969412010-04-09T07:48:56.078-06:002010-04-09T07:48:56.078-06:00You are a strong woman!
