The Plan For My Uterus
For those who have been following along, I’ve got an update and a plan we will be following from here on out (if you haven’t been following, read here. The post has the links to the older posts too).
My post op appointment went well. My uterus looked good and they pretty much don’t know why I’m having the problems I am. However, we did set up a game plan for when this happens again. I am currently on the same birth control as before, and we are keeping our fingers crossed. If this quits working again, I am to quit taking it. We then are going to see if my body fixes itself. If that doesn’t work (which I personally am 99% sure it won’t), I’ll be having an ablation done. Everything I read on the internet wasn’t right, and it really is the next step, because my only other choice after this is a partial hysterectomy which is major surgery. This is a plan that me, the doctor, and Bill have all signed off on.
So we are in wait and see mode which sucks, but what else can I do?

Making Change – The Barefoot Challenge
Did you know that April 19 – 25 is National Volunteer Week? I try to give my time as much as I can, and I hope you all do too. I couldn’t imagine a world without people helping one another. With that being said, you definitely have to meet Bilaal Rajan. He has started his own campaign during this time. He will live his life for that week without shoes, and he’s calling it the Barefoot Challenge. You’ve often heard the saying, “You never really know someone until you walk a mile in their shoes,”. Bilaal has take that a step further (pun intended): he is going barefoot!
To date, Bilaal has raised over $5 million for various causes and is the youngest Ambassador ever for UNICEF, worldwide. Want to know what the amazing thing is? He’s 12. If this 12 year old can do this, we can too. Now, I can’t go all week without shoes (since it is against the law here to drive barefoot), but I will definitely try to spare at least some time each day to this cause. People in Australia, Afghanistan, Switzerland, Malawi, Kenya, Tanzania and Thailand, are stepping up for this campaign. Will you join them?
