This post has information that may contain TMI - that's "too much information" for the layman. If you'd rather not hear about cramps, periods, girl parts etc. I suggest you skip this one.
Why is that major things happen at the most inconvenient times? My girl parts the last few months have taken a turn for the worst since May. I started having gnarly periods that lasted anywhere from several weeks to an entire month giving me a small window of a break and then starting back up again. I finally went to the doctor, had an ultrasound and found out I have fibroids taking over my uterus. There are 2 alternatives that I know of right now: do nothing and live with it until I hit menopause OR get a hysterectomy. Hmmmm.......is there no door #3, no magic pill that will dissolve these alien growths taking my belly fat along with them?
Now, I don't know if it's because I now know what's happening with my body but the cramps are getting way worse and are lasting a lot longer. I've gained some weight and am bloated to the point that I look like I'm 7 months pregnant. I truly can't imagine that my summer eating habits have contributed to that appearance and weight gain at all.
The inconvenient timeing to all of this is the fact that our family vacation is right around the corner so I have opted to put off surgery until we get back. So now I get to hobble around Disneyworld getting funny looks from cast members as they load up a seemly very pregnant woman onto Space Mountain. Boy, I bet you can't wait to see the pictures of that!
