My Boy is Killing Me
Back at the end of March I had a hysterectomy. They left the one ovary I had so I wouldn’t go through menopause too early but it has been a challenge. (Go ahead and ask Husband about the mood swings, I dare you!)
It took a while but I did go through times where I realized I can no longer have a little brother or sister for the Robmonster. It is sad in some ways but such a blessing in others. I am thrilled not to have a monthly cycle per say since it was absolutely horrible. I still feel the pains when it is time but I don’t have the …well…you know….the icky part. I can live with the pain because alcohol is still legal. Lol I also know I have my baby to keep me company and change my diapers when I'm really old. Being an only child is not a bad thing. (Coming from someone with two siblings who did nothing but fight our whole childhood, lol.)
One thing they don’t tell you when you have an abdominal hysterectomy is that you may not be able to feel your belly for months to come. They have to cut through the muscle and nerves to get to the desired area. Any mom who had a c-section can relate I’m sure. I was lucky and unlucky to go vag with the Robmonster. (which means I had no prior knowledge of this type of thing) I have lost most bladder control but got to know what it was like to push the (then) little guy out. It is quite the experience. Would I want to do it again if possible? Yes. If I didn’t have to raise the little guy or gal. I can’t even handle the one I’ve got!
Anyway, I am finally starting to get some feeling back in the incision area. It’s tender. It is like having a bruise that won’t go away as the nerves try to regenerate on this old body. Which leads to the whole point of this entry.
My son is at a height that he head butts my belly whenever he comes at me. This means hugs and playing and chasing and whatever. Even when he wants to cuddle on the couch he somehow manages to kneemy incisions. My poor midsection can’t take much more! Husband has always complained when the boy accidentally ran into the family jewels and now I know why. It friggin HURTS!
