"If this podcast isn't for you and this isn't the podcast that's helping you through your hysterectomy, your adenomyosis, your recovery period, it's okay. I get it. But for those who are still with me, hey, I thank you." — Emily, 10 Days Since Uterus Eviction Day

In This Episode:

• I start off apologizing for abruptly cutting off the last episode, but I'm pretty sure I edited out the ending where I was interrupted, so if you're listening in order, you may not even know what I'm referring to.

• But that toxic friendship interaction makes me think of my own friendship breakups in the past, as well as making me wish I had one of my past best friends around to talk to about all this.

• But some friendships and relationships may be too toxic to continue, so, like my uterus, it's best to say goodbye and hope for a brighter future!

• I've missed driving! And I took a little drive around the neighborhood for a few minutes to get the joy again :) I can't wait for the 2-week mark to hopefully get the full OK to drive again for longer periods of time.

• As much as I love the attention from the family as I recover, it's nice to be alone for a few minutes!

• It's wild trying to juggle everything: running a small business, being a mom, a caretaker, a wife, plus dealing with Adenomyosis and my uterus running the show most weeks out of every month.

• Just because one friend (or organ) is causing us trouble, that's no reason why we can't take a moment to appreciate our other friends (and organs) that are doing a good job!

• If you're reading this, I invite you to take a moment to think about a body part you're grateful for :) even if that body part is hurting and sending you a message that you need to give it some extra care today.

• Being a good friend also includes being a good friend to yourself and watching the language you use to speak to yourself, whether consciously or subconsciously. It all matters, believe me.
