That's Hysterical! Now, Get Out! | My Adenomyosis, Hysterectomy and Recovery Journey9 Aug 2025

2-Week Update! — Recovery Day 15

"I can't show you adenomyosis. That's the interesting thing. She's like, 'Even though it doesn't show up on the camera, that doesn't mean you didn't have it. It showed up on at least a few of these scans it looked like, so we're never going to rule that out.' I'm still an adenomyosis warrior." — Emily, 15 Days Since Uterus Eviction Day

In This Episode:

I got the official OK to drive again! Yay! This is the episode all about my two-week follow up appointment, including what was found on my scans from the hysterectomy.
It's nice to be getting back into the swing of podcast editing for my clients again! (Lookling for a podcast editor? Reach out - emily@epodcastproductions.com)
As I write these show notes now, I'm realizing this is the beginning of my letting go of worrying too much about what the scale says and focusing more on how I feel and how my clothes fit. I've been leaning into Intuitive Eating (with some Intermittent Fasting, as well) ever since.
The little bit of blood I saw was perfectly normal and most likely just my stitches, as it turns out.
I got to see actual pictures of my endometriosis and a cyst. Adenomyosis was camera-shy, apparently, but my doctor said that doesn't mean it wasn't there.
But for now, I'm celebrating! I haven't needed the heating pad as much since my hysterectomy two weeks ago. As I write these show notes and get ready to publish this episode a few months later, I an still say this surgery gave me my life back!
