A SOLDIER'S PERSPECTIVE
THE WEB'S LEADING MILITARY BLOG SINCE 2004
I saw the doctor yesterday. I have what they call a prolapsed uterus. I does cause me a little pain when I am on my feet for very long or do any heavy lifting. I am trying to continue working, but not do any heavy lifting, that isn’t easy pulling a flatbed. I wanted to get this done as soon as possible so I can get on with my life, but the first date she had open in April 25th. So I am set for surgery on the 25th here in Lucedale, MS and will be in the hospital for a few days. I will then be off work for at least 4 weeks, maybe more. She told me that am to do no heavy lifting for a month after that. So depending on how I feel and what the doctor says, I could be out longer. She didn’t really understand what I do for a living. She got that I am a truck driver, but not what pulling a flatbed entails….till I told her. That is when she told me that I could be out of work longer.
The good news is that should be ready to ride my bike the 3200 miles round trip to Sturgis the last week of July. I should be released and able to do some short riding by Memorial Day. That was also good news since the Gulf Port Blow Out is that weekend and I don’t want to miss out on it. I am going to miss Thunder Beach in Panama City, but I can deal with that as long as I can make Sturgis.
Someone in my family will let ya’ll know how I came through that surgery and when I will be home and on the internet to answer any emails. But that is 3 weeks away. Till then, I will keep on truckin’!

Cindy, you’re in my prayers. Take it easy and be gentle with yourself for a bit. Let the healing do it’s job.

Best of luck Cindy. You’ll be in our prayers and I’m glad you’ll make it to Sturgis. I’ll be there . . . sort of. Well, really I’ll be at Fort Meade going through 8 weeks of OCS, but I’ll be there with you in heart.
Get off my backs guys, yes, OCS. I’ve spent 10.5 years enlisted and as an NCO. Thought I would try the officer side too.

Thank you everyone. I am not having a good time with this. I know my tubes have been tied for 20 years and I do NOT want any more kids. But there is something about losing a part of your body, part of what makes you physically what you are.
BUT, I am focusing on my trip to Sturgis. I came up with a crazy idea a few months back to see how many truck drivers that ride bike we could get to go to Sturgis for the rally this year. I even came up with a name, Road Dogs on Hogs. Right now it looks like we are going to have over 100 drivers there on their bikes and even more passing through in their big rigs.
Thing is, everyone says that with this being my idea and my being who I am, that I have to be there or it wont be the same. So I focus on that and try not to wonder if I will still be the same person after, as I am now.

I don’t know you, so I can’t say with any honesty that you will be the same person. I do know that when one part of your life closes, it is so another part begins.
Godspeed!
