   2-Week Update! — Recovery Day 15

   “I can't show you adenomyosis. That's the interesting thing. She's like, ‘Even though it doesn't show up on the camera, that doesn't mean you didn't have it. It showed up on at least a few of these scans it looked like, so we're never going to rule that out.’ I'm still an adenomyosis warrior.” — Emily, 15 Days Since Uterus Eviction Day >>> SUPPORT THE SHOW https://ko-fi.com/thatshystericalpodcast emily@epodcastproductions.com) As I write these show notes now, I’m realizing this is the beginning of my letting go of worrying too much about what the scale says and focusing more on how I feel and how my clothes fit. I’ve been leaning into Intuitive Eating (with some Intermittent Fasting, as well) ever since. The little bit of blood I saw was perfectly normal and most likely just my stitches, as it turns out. I got to see actual pictures of my endometriosis and a cyst. Adenomyosis was camera-shy, apparently, but my doctor said that doesn’t mean it wasn’t there. But for now, I’m celebrating! I haven’t needed the heating pad as much since my hysterectomy two weeks ago. As I write these show notes and get ready to publish this episode a few months later, I an still say this surgery gave me my life back!

   Celebrating 2 Weeks of Recovery with the Introvert's Dream of an Empty House! - Recovery Day 14

   “I cannot emphasize how good it feels to, first of all, have some great circulation, AND not need a heating pad on my uterus all the time, which apparently just sucked in heat. I cannot imagine putting a heating pad on myself right now and turning it on medium high just so I could feel something. How bad does that. How Johnny Cash is that?” — Emily, 14 Days Since Uterus Eviction Day >>> SUPPORT THE SHOW https://ko-fi.com/thatshystericalpodcast 99% Invisible deals with complaints of women’s voices. It’s officially the two-week Hysterectomy-aversary! I’m loving my walking pad. And I have to also remember to rest. On top of my walking pad, I’m also finding ways to move like getting my kids ready for school and the usual morning routine. AH! I can’t believe I’m writing about my comfort show, Project Runway, and it’s coming back (as of the time of this episode’s release, summer 2025)! Speaking of fashion, sweatpants and comfy shirts were my favorite outfit for recovery, as well as the abdominal binder. It’s also wild not to have my heating pad on all the time, and I’m surprised how high I had to turn it up. I certainly don’t require that much warmth now. Johnny Cash never had a hysterectomy, but if he did, I know what he might sing! I’m going to have to talk to my doctor at tomorrow’s appointment to see if I should still track my cycles. I still have my ovaries, so I’m assuming the hormones are still doing their thing. Want to activate your throat chakra? I can’t remember what new age influencer I follow who told me about the little trick I talk about in this episode, but it sure is fun! I talk a little about the cost for the procedure. ($4,000 USD, with insurance) Take this as your gentle nudge to find out how your insurance and HSA (Health Savings Accounts) can help with medical costs. I didn’t grow up with that knowledge and my husband did, and I’m glad one of us is able to make sense of it. (I can now, but in my 20s and early 30s, this was not something I was familiar with enough to use my own benefits.) I can tell my husband (although he’s the best!) is starting to feel the strain of being the one to do everything around the house and for the kids, so I’m looking forward to next week’s episode where I get to tell you about the 2-week follow-up appointment!

   Planning My Week Without Having to Plan for Adenomyosis Disruptions! — Recovery Day 13

   “I love making my business as efficient as possible. It feels so good. I've had to because I've had to basically build my life around Adenomyosis.” — Emily, 13 Days Since Uterus Eviction Day >>> SUPPORT THE SHOW https://ko-fi.com/thatshystericalpodcast theceocollective.com for the weekly meeting to go over what needs to get done for my business and my family for the week ahead. This is one of the first time I DON’T have to plan for my period or ovulation or PMS! This blows my mind! I do still have to take into account that I’m in Recovery Mode and I can’t jump into whatever I want, though. But I am excited about all the things I can do soon enough! For now, I’m doing a lot of creative work from the couch, which keeps me from being on my feet for too long while I’m recovering. One of the struggles of ADHD is having a wonky memory, and calendar dates are notorious for going in one ear and going out the other, which is why having a weekly check-in with myself and my calendar is so necessary for me. Having the schedule my life around Adenomyosis has added to that chaos. Additional Links and Resources: Links not working in your podcast player app?
