Here are some cool maple leaf shots I took while walking one morning in early summer.
I'll be taking a blog break for at least a couple of weeks as I'm having an elective hysterectomy due to a large fibroid I've had for years. It's major surgery, but very common with about a 6 week recovery period. It's a bit scary, but I haven't been thinking about it much, well, until the past few days as it looms closer.
I decided to go ahead with the procedure sooner rather than later, while I'm in good health. I also have a good rapport with this gynecologist and feel confident she'll do a good job.
It's a busy weekend ahead. We're spending a day at a friend's cottage then I have to prepare to spend 2 or 3 days in hospital next week.

Good luck with your OP, and take care of yourself! Hugs, Valerie
Oh gosh, Christine, my heart goes out to you and hope all goes well. Thinking of you and your family during this time. Wishing you all the best.
Take care, hope to see you back soon!
I had a hysterectomy in 2002. My doctor didn't allow me to have a straw, ice or soda after my surgery. When I asked the nurse for some ice in my water, she said the doctor doesn't allow his patients to have those things due to gas. Amazingly I didn't have any gas at all. I had my surgery on Thursday afternoon and was home by Saturday evening. I was cut across the bottom of my stomach, so I figured I would be in the hospital longer. When the dr came in Saturday morning I told him I could rest as well at home as I could the hospital. Good luck to you. You'll be fine.
Oh wow! Christine... I'll be thinking about you and sending healing thoughts. I know you'll come out of this with flying, happy colors. Sending you lots of aloha...
my friend just had one and she described to me that it was like a C-section. I have done gone through a C-sect and maybe I can give you some comfort that it was not so bad:)
on the blog front, i shall selfishly say, i will miss you. but looking forward to see you again soon. (blogging shall be one of the therapies because after the operation, you should not move much. and remember to eat good food).
thanks for your kind comments everyone.
I had one in 1995-ish. I was driving my daughter to CGIT a few days later. I was jogging 6 weeks later.
You may just be fine.
That said, take care, and listen to your body, if you want water...
The joys of womanhood!!!!
Thanks for visiting my tattoos post. Now you'll have a miniscule one. :-)
Hope all goes well Christine.
I'll be sending my angels to be by your side.
Lots of love and light coming your way.

Hi Christine,

Ocean Girl, thanks for your concern. I had the surgery almost a week ago and it went well except I needed 4 units of blood due to blood loss. So working at getting my iron back up and have good periods during the day but still tired. Miss everyone, and hope to be blogging again soon!
Barbara, nice to hear from you and thanks.
