I haven't been on the message board for many days and I have to say that I actually stopped thinking about my situation for a few of them...amazing as I am not even three weeks post cone/tubal/ablatiion/dc...so needless to say my body is far from completely healed and still reminding me daily of all of those procedures. I had a melt down last Saturday night...got it out of my system and vowed that until I am given something more to worry about I am going to just live my life as I always have and not think about this...

Which is why I decided to come on and post tonight.

There are too many of you sitting out there "crying off and on all day" and thinking that the worst is going to happen. Well, you can create our own destiny and I firmly believe that the worst thing we can do for ourselves is worry, worry, worry. We have no control over what is going on with our bodies but total control over how we react to it. So, no more doom and gloom, ladies. We are all going to be all right. I just wanted to drop a line and encourage everyone to think positively. Go through the emotions (but do it quickly:) ... get angry, get scared and then get over it!! What if this was your last day??

Good attitiude Sharon and I'm glad to see that you are still living your life happily! And you are right, bad thing happen in everyone's life. It is our choice how we react to it!

I remember watching one of those shows where they follow people in real ER's and there was one guy that got in a car accident, broke his legs, ribs and numberous other parts, was in a considerable amount of pain, but was still joking around and laughing with the nurse in between grimacing in pain. It made me realize that we really can choose how we react to a situation.

its natural for humans to be shoked/angry/sad/pissed off when something goes wrong in our lives, but the sooner we accept and start to smile, the sooner we can get back to living and enjoying.

Happy thoughts are with you all :D

Thanks for your post Sharon! People need to hear that. Its so hard when you first find out what is wrong its impossible not to fret and worry for days until you can finally see your doctor and get answers that may or may not reassure you. The best thing to do is get as much knowledge about your condition as you can, arm your self with this and ask your doctor questions until you feel satisfied that he has answered you the best he can.

Then you will know the worst case of everthing then you can set that aside worrying after you have had time to mulll this over. Because eventually you will run out of things to worry about, and there is truly nothing more to do but have hope!! I'm wishing hope springs eternal for all of you - if that fails try Xanax. God bless you all!:angel:

I have been dealing with all of this (symptoms, treatments, etc.) for about a year now. I won't lie--there have been days where I couldn't get out of bed I was so sick but for the most part I have tried to keep my spirits up. I feel there are so many people worse off than I am. I still have problems and I want to get back to normal but I am so thankful for how well I am doing. I have lots of other personal problems in my life, but I feel God only gives you what you can handle. I figure he must think I can handle an awful lot.:D

I am glad that I may have helped someone change their perspective...because any one of us could go out and get in a car accident tomorrow (or the ever so popular...get hit by a bus) and I hate to think that anyone's last days would be spent obsessing over something they have no control over. I have that mindset- and it was work to get there- instead of "there is always tomorrow" , I am a do it now type of person. When I don't want to sit down and watch that episode of spongebob with my son for the 100th time or take that walk to the park or I think I might postpone that girl's day out with my daughter...l stop myself from saying "we will do it tomorrow". I can't guarantee that. All I know for sure is that I have right now. It would be a sin to waste it....

God bless all of you...I am so glad I found this site. I have learned so much!!

:D
