24 Hours
In twenty-four hours my hysterectomy surgery will take place. I finally had a mini-meltdown about all the emotions that had been swirling around in my head. I have female cousins who have had this procedure done due to heavy menstrual bleeding, but this is my journey and truly I wished that I had not waited so long to get this done.
When you keep running from something eventually you end of running right back into the very thing that you feared the most. I did not want to be known as a broken woman who could not have children of my own. My plan and God's plan were not the same, but He knew what was best for his child and that was to do this procedure.
I keep trying to stress to women especially African-American women to keep up with their annual check-ups to avoid issues like this or things can be caught earlier enough so that preventative measures can be taken.
I am truly blessed with an amazing set of doctors in my corner and I also have an amazing support system. In twenty-four hours the hope is that I will begin to feel much better. I hope that my story will inspire other women of color to take better care of themselves.
