So this picture has really nothing to do with this post but I thought it was nice...lol. I am preparing to go to the hospital on Monday and it so different than my situation in August. This time, I have all this time to get ready. I have babysitters lined up for a week for my boys, menu planned out, and my overnight bag packed. Yesterday I went to the hospital for a prescreen and filled out a million paperwork (well not really a million but it seemed like it) and they poked me and took some blood and urine sample. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow to make sure I am healthy enough for the surgery and also Friday the hospital will call and tell what time my surgery is Monday. It is coming too fast. It used to be this far off date and now it is here. I am having a hysterectomy and even though I know I need to have this surgery, a part of me is sad. I know that I have five kids and I feel incredibly blessed and Scott and I have felt the closure that our family is complete but I still am working through it. Anyway, I am glad to get this done and over with Monday and then I can start the business of recovering and getting back to normal. I guess I feel a little resentful about this surgery...I just want to say "I can't do this I have too many things to do! I have a household to run! I don't have time for this. It cost money that we don't have and it is going to lay me up for a few weeks." Grrrr! But, I know that I need to take care of myself and in the long run, in taking care of myself, I can take care of my family better. Anyway, I will be relieved to get this done and hopefully my recovery won't be long. Wish me luck.

Kari, your feelings are so natural. Sorry you have to worry about all this right in the middle of your busy life. You have already amazingly been through 5 c-sections, this will be a breeze for you. Okay, not really....you'll need lots of pampering and chocolate. Hey! There is a bight side. :) Good luck, Kari. I'll be thinking about you.
Good luck! I'll be thinking of you too. I hate it when you have to go through something you don't want to go through, and then to top it all off you have to pay money for it. It's not fair.
Kari,
I completely understand how you are feeling. I had to have a hysterectomy after my 3rd baby and I was only 29. I always dreamed of having 7 kids. It is a loss but you will be amazed at how much better you will feel. Good luck, I hope you have a speedy recover!
thank you for your kind comments...it makes it easier to go through something like this when i know that I have friends that understand and support me. Love you
I hope all goes well for you on Monday, Kari! Soon it will all be benind you :)
I will be praying for you!
You have been through the ringer with your helth lately. I am so sorry. You are really handling this so well. I really look up to your courage and will power. I wish I lived closer so I could take your kids, make you dinner, or just sit and visit. We will continue to keep you in your prayers. GOOD LUCK!!!
