Screw the last TEN days LOL

So, the last ten days of my life have been absolute hell. Eleven has always been my favorite number and as it would turn out, day eleven is the first day I am feeling anything close to normal. Two Fridays ago I had a hysterectomy. I am only 25. For some reason I always thought hysterectomies were just for 'old' people. I was wrong. I have had surgery before, but this one was like none other. I had some internal bleeding afterwards (in the form of a hematoma) which meant I had to have to a blood transfusion, which is weird because you are keenly aware that someone else's blood is going into your body. It also hurts really bad. It is cold and thick and feels like you are being stung by a bee the entire time it is going in. Anyways, then after six days in the hospital I got to come home, only to find out that I had caught a stomach bug during my stay. Flash forward to today, the first day I am not having crazy issues. Did I also mention that it turns out I can not take codeine? It gives me a fever....... ok...... breathe..... I am now insistent that my life get back to normal. I would not have made it through this experience without my husband, who took off of work just takeover all of my duties at the house raising two kids..... not the easiest transition. Here is the good news though.... I will no longer ever have monthly visits I don't want and I also never have to worry about getting pregnant ( had the two amazing kids I wanted ), so I just keep repeating these two things over and over to myself as I sit here, still in pain, trying to pick up where I left off before the surgery. PS: I am still not quite healthy enough to start cooking again, so it still may be a week or so before another recipe gets put up. Until then we are stuck eating take out.....ugh.
