Time for an update

Well here it is the end of August and it is hard to believe how fast this summer has gone by. It has been a great summer for me and my kids. The kids both went on a month long vacation ( I stayed home and worked). We made a few trips to the lake. Me and my daughter attended Rock the Desert. Many family movie nights. We spent a lot of time just reconnecting as a family, which was much needed after everything we had been through.
I have been dealing with some health issues. I was diagnosed with cystic ovarian disease and a word I am not even going to attempt that means that my uterus was hemorrhaging. My doctor tried hormones to try and control it but it has just gotten worse so yesterday I was told my only option is a hysterectomy. Bad news is that my uterus is tilted at an odd angle so it has to be done through the abdomen. I am actually very OK with this. I do have a few concerns First is the financial co pays, hospital stay for 3-5 days, time missed at work. After finding out about the surgery I came to the office to let my boss know what was happening and all I got was " this is going to be a real inconvenience for the office" and " Just how long to you plan on being gone". I was very hurt and now feel this overwhelming need to come back to work just as soon as I can. Which I was already feeling a little knowing I have no sick time or vacation time to use during all this.
Mom has agreed to help with the kids. and to stay at the hospital with me. She is so awesome.
So remember me on September 16Th ( that is surgery day)
Love you All

The song for my life
