What Year is It?

I'm kind of ashamed that it has taken me six days into the new year to blog. The first couple of days of the new year were a little difficult for our family. January 2 was the one year anniversary of Mom's passing, so things were rather somber around the house. On the 4th, I had a procedure done at the hospital and I have been recovering from that since. *Disclaimer - the following paragraph is about female stuff. Do not continue on if it makes you uncomfortable.*

I'm not going to go into a lot of detail here. Some details are better left unsaid. If you are the curious type, let me direct you to Google. Anyway...I've had PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) for several years. Basically, it causes my periods to be very painful to the point that I can't function normally. My doctor recommended that I have the Novasure endometrial ablation procedure done. I was all for it. If there is anything I can do to stop the once-a-month agony, I am doing it!!! So I was at the hospital bright and early on Wednesday to have the lining of my uterus burned away. Sounds fun, right? It is actually a very easy procedure and an out-patient one at that. As soon as they gave me the anesthesia, I was out. It seemed like only minutes passed before they were waking me up. I'm told that it was actually 2 hours, but to me it was a very nice nap. I've had very little pain, just some minor discomfort. It's been a cake walk compared to my periods! The only downfall I've noticed is that I have been extremely tired since I've had it done. I am hoping that ends soon because I feel like I'm just one step away from being a zombie.

On to another topic. Joey signed both of us up for a membership at Anytime Fitness today. I really hope this is something I can stick with and start making a difference in my physical health. I am the type of person who likes instant results, so it is very easy for me to get discouraged. However, neither of us are prime physical specimen and I know that there is no better time than the present. I'm hoping that 2012 is the year that I can actually get healthy and stop feeling like I am twice my actual age. I may need some extra prayers and support in this area. Here's to hoping for miracles!!!
