Yesterday finally came. I had been battling with the insurance company until Tuesday morning about my surgery. They didn't think it was medically necessary. I told them that bleeding for 45 days is not medically necessary. They relented. Yesterday I had my hysterectomy. The surgery went better then I expected, I have two little incisions on my side and one through my belly button. What I wasn't prepared for was the CO2 gas that they pumped into my stomach to isolate the uterus. It traveled and got lodged in my diaphragm and then went up my nerves to my shoulders. This afternoon I really my dad said something funny and I started laughing and then all of a sudden I couldn't breathe. I have never had an asthma attack, but I bet it feels similar. I put a heat pack on and took an antacid hoping either would work. One or the other helped a lot. I still have pain, but not nearly as much.
I cried with my mom today about never having kids again. It was a sad moment. I love my family and my four children, but I always thought there was one more. Who knows, one more just might come in an unexpected way :)
Thanks for all the love and support!

Love you!
I glad you had an uneventful surgery and that everything is well.
You guys are awesome people and I'm sure Heavenly Father will bless you in the best possible way, because you deserve it.

Ditto to the last 2 posts. =) I shed a tear for you, too, not being able to have more when you wanted more. I know how that feels. Happy recovery. =)
