My answer was to help. To help. If your voice, if your brain, if your story, especially, can help somebody else, If you can make people laugh, if you can give somebody knowledge that they didn't have before, if you can keep someone company in the loneliest moments of their lives, which was how I found podcasts, if you're an introvert and you want to try playing an extrovert's game for a while in order to help yourself, if you're helping an organization you care very much about, if you're helping spread awareness, if you're helping on some level, that is when you should start a podcast.\u201d \u2014 Emily, 8 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: We\u2019re talking about the \u201cchaotic neutral\u201d to \u201clawful evil\u201d aspects of hysterectomy recovery, including hormonal changes (is that moi I smell??). The incision pain is there, but it barely registers compared to before. I can tell exactly when the Tylenol or ibuprofen wears off and it\u2019s time for another dose. One nice thing is I can finally feel the adult-use fun effects of weed, which I used before this really more for pain and anxiety from endometriosis and adenomyosis. Laundry is actually, dare I say it, fun? It\u2019s been fun trying out a new podcast and trying out podcasting techniques I might be a little rusty at (I say this as I was recording the episodes, but now that it\u2019s more than a year later, hoo, did I talk and talk! I can already tell how much this podcast and sharing my story has helped others. Thank you to everyone who\u2019s written in! If you\u2019ve submitted the form to come on the podcast, I hope to get to reach out soon (but life is lifing, at the moment! Sorry!) Imagine if I had started doing needlepoint and embroidery instead of podcasting during this experience? I wonder if I\u2019d still be at it. Maybe another time. I miss picking up my cat! I\u2019m surprised I haven\u2019t, to be honest. But somehow I forgot about my lifting restriction when it came to a laundry basket. Ooops! (I\u2019m fine.) My incisions so far look like little slits with a smidge of bruising around them. They\u2019re itchy as the glue comes off, and I\u2019m hoping the scars (if any) will blend in with my existing stretch marks, lol. The last anomaly I\u2019ll mention is needed to cut slits in my oversized underwear for more comfort, specifically in the hip\/upper thigh area. Note from Future-Emily: The scars blend in and are barely noticeable now! I\u2019ve never been a big bikini fan for myself, but if I were, I wouldn\u2019t have any hold ups about hysterectomy scars ;) Additional Links and Resources: Links not working in your podcast player app?
