"I distinctively remember the day cause it was Cinco De Mayo. I'm a teacher, I was dressed up for Cinco De Mayo, and I was in the classroom and I started bleeding, hemorrhaging, and I called the office here and it was early morning. They said come on down. Even before I left they got the lab results because they wanted, it was a STAT, they wanted to know what my iron was and the next day I was having the embolization.
I did experience some pain after the first 24, the first 24 hours was just like nothing happened. There was, I mean, I was walking around and I almost kind of had to remind myself that hey, I just had surgery that morning so take it easy. Whenever I've had any contact here at the office it's top notch, first, you know, you're first sort of thing and that's what I had experienced that day.
Oh, it's night and day. My menstrual cycles went back to normal and now that I am pregnant, I'm in my 8th month, I've had no fibroids come up I'm free of fibroids you can say. The family's ecstatic. When we told the family, my Mom thought we were talking about a new puppy because we talked we'd get a new dog. Then my daughter, we let my daughter do the honors of saying that we were pregnant and she looked at Grandma and said, 'No, we're having a new baby!' And, my, so everybody is ecstatic in the family cause they didn't think that we were going to have a second one."
