OT- Very sad tonight.

I had to go to the hospital recently and after some prodding and some scare tactics on his behalf, I agreed to go see a dr. this week. He said I may be a candidate for a hysterectomy. I was stunned because I want more than anything to have a baby. I mean, I adore my kids, but I still want more, and I have wanted to get pregnant since I was married the first time, and since Rob and I have been together I have wanted it, too.

The thought of not being able to have children makes me so sad. I talked to my exhusband about it some last night and he was really supportive and sympathetic. Then, I was talking to him and his girlfriend today and she asked me if I would consider being their baby's godmother. Kevin hadn't told me she was pregnant because he thought the timing was bad. I am very happy for them, but at the same time I am so incredibly sad for myself. I know that's selfish, but I can't help it. I sat here crying for the longest time. I am not jealous that he will have a baby, I am just sad that I won't. well, that I may not. I can't kid myself forever. I probably won't and the thought of that just kills me.

So between the ick and yuck and pain going on here I may not be around much, but I am thinking of you and cheering for you all, Ladies. Lots of love

Mel, I am so sorry to hear this. I know it must be devastating. It is so hard to be positive at a time like this, but try and focus on your kids and improving your health. Look into options besides hysterectomy, also. Be proactive about your health. I learned through a bad experience w/my son that doctors don't know all. But, look into everything thoroughly.

My prayers and thoughts are w/you. Good luck!

Oh, Mel, I'm so sorry to hear about this! I really hope that it doesn't come to this. Have you gotten a second opinion? I can't imagine how difficult this must be. You will be in my prayers.
