To address the snoring, I saw an ENT , who found a deviated septum from a childhood broken nose, but that was not a major issue. Since my family was complete with 2 children, he recommended a complete hysterectomy. I was thrilled and eagerly scheduled myself for a complete hysterectomy at the age of 32. Unfortunately, all the surgery did was throw me into menopause and the scale kept creeping up. Depression really set in now.
Life is Almost Unbearable . . .
A year or so later we moved to a small town in Florida. My children were now in grade school and I spent most of my day in bed. When I woke in the morning, my children had already fed themselves breakfast and waited outside for the school bus. They were accustomed to fending for themselves. I would normally waken between 9 and 10 in the morning feeling sleepy.
