A more personal journey...

A week ago I was in surgery.  It seems like so long ago already.  I don't always post about such personal things, but I feel like i need to write about this.  Just once.  For a woman, a hysterectomy is one of those life events that splits time into "before" and "after."   Like puberty, a wedding or giving birth.  A feminine milestone that almost 20% of women will experience.  If you're a man and you haven't already clicked away, you may not want to read further.  Or maybe you will.  It's estimated that 1 in 10 women suffer from endometriosis, 2 in 10 from fibroids and 10 in 10 deal with various "female" and hormonal issues. I think it would be much better for everyone if we all talked about it a bit more openly.
