MY LAST PERIOD

Well it's been a while since I've been here. But I am having the last period of my life right now, and I don't know if to celebrate or cry. I have had so many awful periods over the last few years that I have explored all my options that wanted to or was capable of trying. Now it is time for the biggest option of them all. I am about a week and a half from my hysterectomy.
Yes, my hysterectomy. I have finally decided to go through with it. In July or was it June I had three periods in 30 days. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. It was too much for me to bear. I couldn't deal with it any longer. So I called the Oncology Gynecologist and made an appointment to come in to discuss a date for surgery.
So now the date is set for September 18, 2014. And I would have 8 weeks off from my jobs to recuperate. During that time I would be able to reflect on my life and the direction it should take after this milestone.
