Survived Phase 1
9 years ago
The minor part of the 2-step plan to remove my uterus went fine yesterday. 
took me in and brought me home afterward. I spent most of the rest of the day woozy and a little sore, but nothing worse than what I'm used to dealing with. Still sore today, but it's not horrible.
They did a D&C (dilation and cuterage) where they sent me to sleep, and then went in and scraped out all the built up gunk in the uterus to try and get the bleeding to stop. It also gives them tissue to send to the pathologist to make sure there isn't something cancerous going on, or maybe figure out why my body doesn't respond to treatment. It just gets us a more clear picture of the overall situation.
I see my doctor for post-op follow up in about a week to discuss the results and plan the hysterectomy. If all goes well, I go back in 3-4 weeks and the whole damn thing comes out!

Hopefully the second one will be done as well as this one, if not even better
All the best from my side =)
But with any luck, the hysterectomy will be the last time I need to do something like this.
Was also reminded that I haven't seen you (and Nius) in person in eons. I really need to get out to MFF again. The date change really screwed things up. :(
