3 months and counting...

Well- its been a while since Ive posted on here, so I figured I should probably post an update. Things have been going fairly well. Im down in San Antonio finishing up some Army training before I head to Washington DC.
Today Was offically 3 months since surgery and things have been going pretty good. Although as things have gone along I still seem to have more and more small complications. After surgery they told me occasionally I may have contractions as my uterus heals- and boy were they right! Sitting in class the other day it happened and let me tell you, thats a hard thing to cover up! I just excused myself and went outside- but good lord- Not a fun thing to have happen out of the blue like that.
I had my surgical follow up- which was INTERESTING to say the least. The specalist I was supposed to see had to go out of town unexpectedly... so I got to see the OTHER doctor... Ya.
That didnt go over so well. Not only was the guy about 40 years past retirement, he was only "vaguely familiar" with my condition... but then felt the need to question the medications I was on... the nurse even told me that I should see another doctor. Lol. You know its bad when the nurses are tipping you off. So now Im trying to figure out how to get an appointment with the Doctor I was SUPPOSED to see. Getting a Doctors appointment in the Army is like pulling teeth.
I'm still doing well with my weight- and honestly its incredible to me how much better I feel after the surgery. Not to mention how FLAT my stomach is now!!! Probably the greatest part of the whole thing.
But alas I am continually reminded of the "might not be able to have kids" thing. At the Doctors appointment the guy flat out said, "So your gonna get pregnant any day now right!?" ~Sigh~ No. No pregnancy for me.
I know I want kids, but I just feel so unready for that right now. And there are so many things I want to do, I honestly just dont know how to do it all. The problem is I want my cake and I want to eat it too... and I really just dont know how to do that.  O'well- heres to living another day- as blessed as I am and trusting that God will make it all work out!
