  2-Week Update! — Recovery Day 15 09.08.2025 6min

  "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 >>> SUPPORT THE SHOW https://ko-fi.com/thatshystericalpodcast >> SUPPORT THE SHOW https://ko-fi.com/thatshystericalpodcast

  "I cannot emphasize how good it feels to, first of all, have some great circulation, AND not need a heating pad on my uterus all the time, which apparently just sucked in heat. I cannot imagine putting a heating pad on myself right now and turning it on medium high just so I could feel something. How bad does that.

  Glimmers and Lovely Days — Recovery Day 9 28.06.2025 10min

  "Hey, hey, hey, hey, It's okay if we didn't hit our goals every single month. We're probably not going to hit it next month when we're not having a regular amount of income come in. And that's okay because we planned for it. We gave ourselves a cushion. We were able to create that space that we needed to heal our bodies, to be able to come back. I have every hope and intention of stronger, better, faster. I'm going into a song.

  All Aboard the Meandering Mind Train of Anxiety Adhd — Recovery Day 9 28.06.2025 18min

  "Now is not the time to freak out. You get shaken and shaken and shaken throughout the day. Unless you have some way of getting that energy out, your can is going to explode. Somebody is going to pull that tab thinking that they're just going to get a nice friendly soda version of you, but they get the explosion instead. A lot of times, it's the people we love. That's a big part of the neuro-spicy experience, especially if you're undiagnosed and you're not aware of it." — Emily, 9 Days Since Uterus Eviction Day >>> SUPPORT THE SHOW https://ko-fi.com/thatshystericalpodcast >> SUPPORT THE SHOW https://ko-fi.com/thatshystericalpodcast

  Post-Hysterectomy Anomalies — Recovery Day 8 21.06.2025 20min

  "The person hosting the event asked me, Why should somebody start a podcast? My answer was to help. To help. If your voice, if your brain, if your story, especially, can help somebody else, If you can make people laugh, if you can give somebody knowledge that they didn't have before, if you can keep someone company in the loneliest moments of their lives, which was how I found podcasts, if you're an introvert and you want to try playing an extrovert's game for a while in order to help yourself, if you're helping an organization you care very much about, if you're helping spread awareness, if you're helping on some level, that is when you should start a podcast." — Emily, 8 Days Since Uterus Eviction Day >>> SUPPORT THE SHOW https://ko-fi.com/thatshystericalpodcast >> SUPPORT THE SHOW https://ko-fi.com/thatshystericalpodcast

  An Angry Morning, Waking Up in Pain, and Thinking the Worst — Recovery Day 7 07.06.2025 13min

  "Four things I've noticed since my hysterectomy. One, I wake up with no more pain or the feeling of a 2-3 pound bowling ball between my hips anymore. Two, I go about my day with only minimal pain from my incisions, and that pain significantly decreases with every day. Three, I go to bed with no pain and without the feeling of a 15 pound bowling ball between my hips, the bowling ball got bigger and heavier as the day wore on. Four, this face more often. When I say this face, it's the emoji with the smile, with some tears on the bottom of its eyes. It's super cute." — Emily, 7 Days Since Uterus Eviction Day >>> SUPPORT THE SHOW https://ko-fi.com/thatshystericalpodcast >> SUPPORT THE SHOW https://ko-fi.com/thatshystericalpodcast

  Dancing with Hope - Recovery Day 5 24.05.2025 15min

  "They brought in a second doctor who apparently specializes in endo and 'loves removing endo.' That was a big part of all that pain. I'm just ... I don't know. I think I'm just ... I'm so grateful. When I told my husband about how I was feeling better last night and dancing around a little bit. He just had this look on his face like he was about to cry. He was like, 'You have no idea how happy this makes me!'" — Emily, 5 Days Since Uterus Eviction Day >>> SUPPORT THE SHOW https://ko-fi.com/thatshystericalpodcast
