On Thursday, I will get the surgery that I've wanted since I was a teenager. Yes, I am completely serious. How many 16-year-olds want a hysterectomy?
I did.
And I've wanted one ever since.
Finally, FINALLY, I got the doctor's approval. In this country, when you're approved for surgery and you want to choose where you have it, the doctor gives you a reference, which you then take to the hospital of your choice.
And, as I found out, the hospital of your choice examines you (and I always hate that kind of exam), asks for your medical history, and gives you an appointment much earlier than you thought possible. After all this time, after all this pain, after all those jobs I didn't apply for because my cycle was so horrible that I didn't know how often I'd be able to work, the fucker is finally coming OUT.
Also, in this country, they keep you in the hospital for five days after surgery. I'm bringing books. And my phone, so I can connect to the Internet.
What should I expect, as concerns the surgery and aftermath?
