Today marks five years since I parted company with
my uterus, cervix and fallopian tubes. Five years on I can still say
hand on heart that it was the best decision I ever made. It gave me my
quality of life back in many ways, and I enjoyed
four years of pretty good health until this whole Crohn’s business
started last year.
In previous years, I’ve marked it with
celebrations. On my first “hysterversary”, I hosted a big dinner for
some friends who supported me through it. I had plans to mark this
year’s milestone, but that got thrown down the kibosh by a variety
of things; including not knowing how I would be feeling far enough in
advance to go travelling anywhere, post-Humira injection yucks, a
phantom period and a set of other circumstances which are out of my
control. That last one has kind of knocked me back down the
rabbit hole I had almost climbed out of.

All I managed to do to mark the occasion was make
some dairy and egg free chocolate cake. So I’m going to eat it in my own
little one woman celebration.
