OMEN?

In todays post Im going to tell you a story that was told to me back in 1979 by a 62 year old  woman...at that time I was 26 yrs old and was childless. I had my son when I was 28..

Her name was Margie...she was a widow and had raised 4 children 3 boys and one girl...they were all married and most of them had children.   She had her children in the very early years of her marriage, almost one right behind the other...She told me she spent the most of 7 years Pregnant and breast feeding children.   When she was in her late 30's she got very sick.  She had a serious infection of her uterus.  

So her doctor put her on Penicillin and she got better, but within a few months it returned.  She was back at the doctor and this time she ended up in the hospital.  She was told she had another infection this time she stayed in the hospital 2 weeks on IV meds and she grew very weak.  

She finally went home but the problem returned and she was put on bed rest....and then her uterus ruptured and she had to have an emergency total hysterectomy.  She ended up with blood poisoning and she nearly died.  She had a very long recovery and she told me she never felt all that well again...

The thing that struck me about  what she told me was all along her old fashioned doctor was more in favor of preserving the  uterus than her life...he gambled her life rather than just do the operation which she wanted to get the first time, and he kept saying, 
"You won't be able to get pregnant again, this is forever." 

So there she was with 4 children and already getting close to  menopause and yet the doctor cared more about her uterus than he did about her life.
