One, I wake up with no more pain or the feeling of a 2-3 pound bowling ball between my hips anymore. Two, I go about my day with only minimal pain from my incisions, and that pain significantly decreases with every day. Three, I go to bed with no pain and without the feeling of a 15 pound bowling ball between my hips, the bowling ball got bigger and heavier as the day wore on. Four, this face more often. When I say this face, it's the emoji with the smile, with some tears on the bottom of its eyes. It's super cute.\u201d \u2014 Emily, 7 Days Since Uterus Eviction Day >>> SUPPORT THE SHOW https:\/\/ko-fi.com\/thatshystericalpodcast <<< ** Stay in the loop with our latest episodes, upcoming topics, and exciting announcements \u2014 Sign Up for the Newsletter! ** In This Episode: I woke up this morning in pain from having a full bladder. On top of that, there was a family bathroom emergency with the one bathroom in the house, which meant I needed to clean the toilet\/bathroom before being able to urinate so I could relieve the pain. The Angry-Emily came out because of all of it, which unfortunately was not how I wanted to start my day. Luckily once I was able to use the bathroom, get some tea and enjoy the morning sunshine, I was feeling a bit better. I\u2019ve been using this podcast as a replacement for my morning journaling practice lately. There\u2019s such a fear of going back to waking up with pain every morning and this reminds me of those horror movies where the monster comes back from the dead, you know? But luckily, I think today was more because I needed to use the bathroom, not the pain returning. Phew! :)  I talk a bit about the One Touch ADHD Hack and why it helps me save time and mental energy. Shout-out to my wonderful husband! He\u2019s so good at taking care of me and helping me recover (Future-Emily also thanks him for being so caring and understanding), plus he celebrates with me! For my recovering friends, get your morning sunshine and hydration! If you\u2019re drinking your tea in the sun while listening to this, it\u2019s almost like we\u2019re hanging out virtually! I posted to Threads about 4 differences I\u2019ve already noticed since the hysterectomy.

YAY!!!!! Non-hysterectomy-related update: I went from typing my morning pages, to podcasting my morning pages, back to what I was doing for the first few years of morning pages: handwriting in journals again! I can\u2019t recommend this enough for anyone with the noisy brain murmurings every morning like I have. Additional Links and Resources: Links not working in your podcast player app?
