Do you know that once you have a hysterectomy it is still advised to have a regular annual with your doctor? That’s right; it is still advised to have an annual check up after having a hysterectomy. I find that I hear mixed answers when this comes up. It sounds like some doctors don’t think…
I recently had an acquaintance share that she was having a hysterectomy in the coming weeks. I figured this would be the perfect time to share a list of the top things that helped me with my hysterectomy recovery. It is what I like to call my hysterectomy recovery kit. I was blessed to have…
I am so excited! It looks and feels like fall has officially shown up:) Well, at least where I live. I love watching the leaves start to turn and change color before they fall, the beautiful sunsets, and cooler days and nights. I will admit though that I am not a fan of the shorter…

Do you ever go to grab something to find you don’t have it? Don’t you hate it when that happens? I just did this the other day when looking for a small pinboard for my notes. I had taped some notes up above my desk to have them just keep falling down. Guess tape isn’t…
Boy, what turning 40 and being post hysterectomy does to your body. Since turning 40 (five years ago), I have noticed a ton of body changes. One of the most frustrating has been the change in my weight and how my body just is. At first it was just a little extra cushion around the…
