I can't believe I've let it go this long since I blogged!
A little catch up: That pain I was having, well, it's still there. I've had an abdominal CAT scan and an ultrasound now, and they have no idea what is going on. The muscle isn't ripped, the hematoma has healed completely. So I've been referred out to a general surgeon and put on Neurontin.. I guess we'll have to just wait and see!
In related news, I forgot to put my hormones on today. Should be interesting to see how this goes! So far I seem to be doing well; none of the usual symptoms. But we'll see if it lasts. Today my baby boy is 7, and wants to go to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. IF I can make it through the whole day, PLUS dinner without going beserk, I'd say I'm doing well.
My skin is breaking out again though. Grr. I was using Peter Thomas Roth anti-aging face wash (it has 1% glycolic acid and 1% salicylic acid) and my skin was AWESOME. Ran out (it was a month-long sample size) so went back to my stuff, and I break out! (I've been using my other stuff for over a month now.) Guess who is stopping at Sephora tonight?
I still haven't found anything to get the oil under control, either. It's so frustrating, my makeup ends up "slipping" off within an hour of application. Very annoying.
I'm also in the process of attempting to lose more weight. Nothing unreasonable, mind you. And I'm doing it the right way~diet and exercise. I've been eating some spicy foods, stuff with cinnamon, drinking COLD water (all help speed up metabolism), plus lean meats and cheeses. The hardest is giving up my sweets. Boo. Any other tips from anyone? I know it's the little stuff that helps.
Found a new site, by the way, for all you ladies that have recently had or are going to have a hysterectomy: www.hystersisters.com. They have discussion boards and forums, a shop, all sorts of stuff. They have info on alternatives to hysterectomies too. Worth a look at least!
I know it's not much, but I have presents to wrap before my baby boy gets home. I promise to be better about keeping up with this, even if it's only a paragraph a day!
