Perspective Happens

So...

had big plans for March.  I really should know better by now.

On March 17th, for the second time in my life I found myself in a hospital emergency room wearing very little and feeling very scared.

How did they put it now, let's see if I can remember it correctly, severe vaginal hemorrhaging.   Yes, it's is even more uncomfortable to experience than it is to read about so you can stop cringing now.

I appear to be better now, I have test results upcoming and it would seem as if I am going to survive this relatively intact.  It seems as if removing a woman's uterus is considered unfashionable right now.  Although as I told the nurses in the emergency department, "I don't need anything it has to give me anymore, anyhow.  So if it has to go, out it goes!"

Seems like my hormones need some tweaking.

Anyhow, I missed out on needing a blood transfusion by a few points.  I can't give blood right now, "they" think I should hold onto what I have got until I know for sure I am not going to spring a leak again.

So for now I am going to be thankful for the fact that 911 works, that the blood was there if I needed it, and that my messy house still has me in it.

If you can donate blood, please do so.  I would have gone out and done so again (I have before) and will hope to soon.

April is about remembering to keep everything in perspective.
