Texting While Driving PSA

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Have you seen this video yet? It’s the newest PSA to show teenagers (and adults too for that matter) what can happen when you aren’t paying attention when you are driving. I personally think it’s a great video (though it did make me cry — especially when the little girl is crying out “why aren’t mommy and daddy waking up”). I just hope people get the point. This can and does happen every day. People are saying that it’s too graphic. I think it’s the only way to get through sometimes.

The video is a tad long, but I’d love to hear what you all think.

The surgery went . . .

As well as could be expected, I guess.  If you don’t know what I am talking about, read this and this and it’ll catch you up.

Everybody back?  Well, they found nothing.  Absolutely nothing wrong with me.  All my bloodwork comes back fine.  Sigh.  So that leaves me with not a lot of choices.  I either have to stick with the birth control that doesn’t seem to be working or keep flipping them out every 3 – 6 months when they quit controlling my period.  This is the option Bill wants me to do.  I’m not feeling it.  I’ve been dealing with for 2 years now, and really, I am sick and tired of it.  I’m not real keen on this.

My other choice is an endometrial ablation.  Basically, they burn the lining out of your uterus.  Since I am so young, these tend not to work well.  I would still have a period, and I would still need to be on birth control.

I am not sure why a partial hysterectomy was not listed, because honestly that sounds like my best bet.  I have a follow up appt in 2 weeks, and we’ll go over in detail what we do next.  Needless to say, I don’t know what the right answer is here.

If you have had this done, I’d love to hear from you!
