Today I went to my post-operation appointment and everything is healing fine. I probably won't see this gynecologist again, even though she's really nice, because she's kind of far and I don't think a gynecologist can help me right now. I had the tests done and I don't have endometriosis and have only one fibroid, so I'm not going to try the medication Lupron. Thank goodness birth control pills control my cramps. My blood pressure was 88/56. I used to have low blood pressure but more recently my blood pressure had moved up to around 100/70, though the last time or two I was tested my blood pressure was fairly low again.

"First is the preparation stage, when you identify what brings you joy, satisfaction, and engagement, and also what brings you guilt, anger, boredom, and remorse." From: http://www.happiness-project.com/happiness_project/start-.html
I am going to try to start my own "Happiness Project," but my resolutions will basically be the same as the 101 Things to Do in 1,001 Days. I might make a shorter list for this project or I may just make different, related lists.
I'm putting this under a cut because it's so long:
( What Makes Me Happy )
( What Makes Me Unhappy )
