Considerations.

Hi all!
I do hope the best for everyone and I still continue to express my gratitude for the out pouring messages and also how fantastic it is to read of the freedom felt when you finally get the reversal. My heart crushes still for the women out there who know they are victimised by PTLS yet have no funds to make a reversal possible..
I am so very sorry that I have not been blogging or been on here to answer questions and offer support. I am no longer on Facebook.

So I have been with my current GP now for about 4ish years. He is absolutely a God send! Extremely amazing in the sense that he will only prescribe medication if he truly feels necessary. Eg; many Drs will prescribe antibiotics at the slightest hint of a sniffle, he will not. He is very logical and understanding. He cares for the patients opinion and well being.

A while back I actually showed him images of before my tubal reversal and he was taken back. I also gave him this blog address and he read my blog. He was open minded and suggested that I should go back to the original specialists (who denied PTLS being possible) and follow up with them.

That would be interesting as I declined when they wanted me to after the reversal due to the way I was treated during the process.

Also, I have a YouTube channel (which I swear a lot on!) but I am considering doing a YouTube video about PTLS. It is definitely something on the cards I think.

I just need to figure how I am going to go about it. Such as, what I am going to cover in the video. What I will outline.. I guess it is all in the thought process at this stage. If there are any points you would like me to discuss in the video, by all means, add a comment to let me know.

As far as life for me, it is just as crazy as if I never had PTLS. I have come a long way. But PTLS is like a fading memory..
in fact, I was extremely moved when our youngest daughter seen pictures (body and all) on our laptop months ago of me from just before the reversal surgery (I rarely ever look at them at all).

She literally asked me "Who is that mum?" .... I looked at her like she was joking as I have explained all about PTLS and what I went through to my kids, I am extremely open and honest with them about any issue.. When I had my reversal, one daughter was 8 and youngest daughter was 5. Our son was 4. (We also have 3 children in Heaven)
So when she didn't laugh and still looked confused staring at this woman on the laptop screen, I said "It's me!" .. She looked at me dazzled and smirked as if to say "yeah right!"
I said "look" and pointed to marks and scars, which were basically the only things that helped me recognise myself when I had PTLS. I then explained "that's mama just before her reversal when she had PTLS"

My little girl, 11 years old, burst out into tears. She was sobbing uncontrollably! I asked what was wrong and she said it's scary to see you like that, you look so sad and so sick and in pain. She was sweating from crying. God bless her. It was such an emotional moment. She never wants to see them again she decalared.

We are loving life on our farm, husband and I have been together almost 14 years and married for 5 years in November 😍
Our cow is about to give birth any day now! We have livestock and a lovely patch of paradise. It is nice. I don't know what to say in regards to my recovery of PTLS as, like I said, it's just like a fading memory ... of a scary nightmare..

Keep faith and remember the importance of sharing information to everyone about PTLS! We need to save women. Or at least give them awareness of the extremely high possibility of what happens by having a tubal ligation.
