Wanted to give everyone an update. I had my follow up appointment with Dr. McBee today. He said that the pathology showed low-grade squamous cells on the surrounding tissues. So I’ll need to come back in November for more testing to check out the current tissues I still have. 😭 Not when I was hoping for today. So if you can keep me in your thoughts. ❤️

Hey everyone! I figured this was going to be the easiest way instead of just doing a week by week . Somethings have gotten better and some things just haven’t gotten any better☹️ I’ve decided to take a little time off just so I can start feeling like myself again. I wanted everyone to know so they can make arrangements to try to go somewhere else for their appointments. The plan as of right now I will be taking the month of August off and hoping September will be better 🤞🏼Thank you guys so much for the understanding and all the support❤️❤️❤️

My weekly update… I just want to start off by apologizing to all of my loyal customers who have been nothing but great to me and kind words throughout this whole process. I did not plan for the surgery like I should have. But I had the doctor look me in the face and tell me that I would be good to go back to work in one week. I expressed to him. I am very busy and this is not a good time to take off for a surgery. James and I have been through a lot this year and I was very hesitant on having this hysterectomy so soon with planning one week off.
I have cried more in the last couple weeks I think I have my entire life. He gave me false hopes this is more than just a one week off. I had a full hysterectomy with my bladder sewn up to stay in place. On top of that I ended up getting that bacterial sinus infection four days after surgery. In this last week after finishing the anabiotic’s, it has gotten so much better. My head feels better to the point where I noticed the medication I was put on for anxiety was giving me that total disconnect feeling. I felt like for weeks that I was completely disconnected. Is the only way I know how to describe that. I truly felt so bad that I didn’t even know the medication was causing that feeling. I’ve had so many emotions with this surgery because I have felt so bad for the last couple of weeks that I couldn’t pinpoint a single thought. This surgery is more than just a surgery. This is mental. ..maybe this will help someone who has this surgery in the future that a doctor will tell you anything to put you on a schedule. You need to take the time off to deal with not only the pain, but the unexpected emotions that come with it.

I know I have talked to several people about their appointments next week, but I’m going to take one more week off to just give me time to get back on my feet. I truly am sorry for the continuous cancellations . 

I want to let everyone know the latest progress. From my last post… I was having brain fog, dizziness and a crazy feeling in my head. Come to find out after it got to the worse of all of it. My care provider said it was a sinus infection. I wasn’t aware that you could get a sinus infection without a head cold🤷🏼‍♀️. But she said that it could’ve been the tube of gas they put down my throat that irritated my sinuses. Then I let it go on for a week so it got to the worst point it could possibly get. It’s been absolutely miserable. So once again, I have been on medication to take care of that.
My head is just now starting to feel better in the last day. My body does not feel like it is capable of doing a work week. I just have no energy. I’m hoping finishing up this medication tomorrow and allowing my body to heal off of that would make a world a difference for me to come back to work. I’m sorry to everyone I never dreamed this would be like this. So I wont be at work this 😭😭

I’ve thought about this and I’m just not ready to go back to work. I don’t think that I can sit in one position all day. I definitely don’t think I can do a pedicure. When he did the hysterectomy he also had to sew my bladder back up in place and this recovery has been more than I expected. I’m sorry. I’ll get a hold of everyone this week!

I wanted to share that Dr. Mcbee called me yesterday and said that the pathology came back good! No active cancer🙌🏼🙌🏼
This has been mentally draining surgery. I’m ready to be on the other side of it soon and can’t wait to see everyone back at work! ❤️

** Let me add this … if I didn’t watch someone we cared about suffer tremendously and pass away with what started out with female cancer, I would have not taken this seriously. I wouldn’t have got checked and even then my anxiety wouldn’t have let me do the surgery. There was still low grade squamous cells on the cervix that he took out with the hysterectomy. It was just a matter of time before it was full-blown cervical cancer. With no symptoms… This whole thing has sucked so bad and my anxiety has been even worse than any physical pain. Take your visits seriously. Go get checked! 

Hey everone! I wanted to let everyone know I’m doing really good! I didn’t get into surgery yesterday till after 3 o’clock. They had a couple of emergencies so it was an all day event at the hospital. But the surgery went perfect. He said had no issues at all. The ride home was a little rough. But overall, I feel very good today. Thank you guys so much for all the text and all the prayers that you sent me. I really really needed it.❤️
