How Dare You! How Dare You?

It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you, without a ..... [Homage to Rakim & Eric B.]

At any rate, it's been a long time.  Between a hectic Fall into Winter  work schedule and graduate school, it's been real.  I'm not complaining because for sure there are boat loads of folks that have much more going on, but this is me.

I was talking with a good friend several months ago who was telling me about a friend of hers who was bleeding out.  I mean to say bleeding profusely during her periods and was told she would need to have a hysterectomy.  Sis has fibroids.  If you've read various postings on this site then you know how I feel about the H.

But wait, Sis was an avid woman of movement (fit) and ate healthfully, and is married with children.  I don't think too many women are eagerly raising their hands saying "Oh me! Please pick me!  Let me have the hysterectomy!"

My girlfriend went on to tell me about her friend and I had a "Well @#!" moment.  I can get on this blog and type out all day long to eat well (Eat), incorporate movement into your day (Move) and rid yourself of those negative and otherwise unproductive thoughts (Think), but in the end we all do what we believe must be done.  I don't want to get a hysterectomy, but that doesn't mean that one day I won't does it?  Who am I to tell you what...?

Let me tell you, though, that I am not trying to leave any stone unturned and I solicit help from my family, friends, doctors, Internet, whatever.

I'm saying all of this to say - I hope I haven't sounded preachy (and hope I haven't contradicted myself), but the H just doesn't seem right to me.  I just want us all to be well and have the best quality of life we can whatever that means for you.  I dare you!

On my next post, I'll tell you what's been up with me healthwise, Chinese herbs and all...  BeWell....
