On September 8th, 2008 I had a hysterectomy. I am 23 years old and by the graces of God had two beautiful girls with one ovary. They are the ages of 1 year and 2 months.

Okay, let’s just go ahead and say it….. I’m menopausal. Having a hysterectomy last year has forced “the change” upon me long before I was ready for the experience. Am I grateful that my doctor was able to perform this operation and end my agonizing physical pain? Absolutely. What I wasn’t prepared for, however, was the emotional drain that would follow. I’ve come to grips (literally) with the infamous menopausal mid-section…the already jiggly tummy now flapping about irreverently, mocking my every move. The occasional hot flashes are offset by chillness that has me reaching for a sweater when the thermostat reads 76 degrees. Lotions and potions help keep my crinkly skin somewhat softer and smoother. But why the heck am I so grouchy?!?!?

The average woman pays more attention to her children’s medical history or pet’s vet schedule than her own health. Though research has shown that the more involved and informed patients are in managing their own health, the better their outcome, many don’t recognize the importance of taking charge of their health until it’s too late.
