Well, the moment I’ve been avoiding for a few months has come…and sooner than I have expected. I will be having my hysterectomy on Tuesday AT AGE 27!! I leave for D.C. on Monday and I will get back home on Thursday. The doctor will be using the most advance form of laparoscopic surgery out there (even more so than robotics). It’s called The Laparoscopic Retroperitoneal Approach to Hysterectomy. Here is a clip of the surgery and it’s benefits. My surgeon is the only one who performs this in the world!

I am not so much nervous about the surgery as I am about the emotional toll it may take on me that I will most definitely NEVER have children again. Some people are trying to cheer me up by saying that I may be able to adopt in the future but they just don’t understand…I would love to but it is not an option sadly but I would if I could in a few years. Anyways for now my focus remains on my Husaband and children and I will continue to watch everyone around me give birth while I am baren…I suppose my time is just up. I would be lying if this did not break my heart. But I will keep my eyes on the Lord and fixed on the goals in front of me. I remember where I was last year, it was not pretty…I wrote this blog post on July 20, 2010 entitled “For Those of You That Don’t Know, I’m NOT Okay!” and it threw me right back. I cannot believe how bad things were. I’ll be darned if I let things get that bad again…eye on the goal Lori!
On a brighter note, My Husband’s birthday is coming up and I have secured him opening day O’s ticket yet again!! It is his favorite thing, he hates parties but LOVES big crowds at the baseball fields! We will also be going to see his old buddies at the Tower Oaks Lodge in Rockville, MD – LOVE that place! I’m not sure what else there is to say…Hopefully We will have a good rest of the weekend and an easy recovery! If you read this, say a prayer for us 
. Many blessings from my family to yours!
