Tina Turner, a phoenix, and fibroids?

phoenix rising from ashesI get the best visitors here. One of the recent ones (a fellow blogger) posted a “motivating” perspective on the fibroid conundrum:

I Want to be Tina Turner

Sunny is right. Attitude is key. Life happens. It’s just not possible to get through it without being scarred in some way. Believe me, I’ve tried.

So, when caught flat on my face, I do the self-pity thing for about two seconds because I’m human. Read the rest of this entry »

Did I finally catch up with responding to comments?

Um, yeah. I think so. If you left a comment somewhere on this site and haven’t received a response to your concern, leave a message on the Forum page or send me an email.

Best wishes and thanks for your continued support! :-)

Sanfly: More than likely I will be having abdominal hysterectomy. Anyone has had this procedure?. I would like to hear your experience with the surgery & if it has changed your life for the better or worst.

Believe it or not, EclecticGeek is still here!

I’m still around. Been busy trying to keep up with comments and email plus get the “inquisitive geek with fibroid tumors” site off the ground. Still tweaking things there so if you visit and the theme seems to change from day to day, don’t worry. Just click the banner and it will bring you directly here.

Definitely, not complaining at all about the number of messages I receive. I’m very excited! The web address change here is bringing in more traffic and I’m starting to see evidence of “word-of-mouth” campaigning. How cool. 8-)

Thanks for your continued support and spreading the word!
