Green Light...
...and so far so good. I still have my libido and I still have my own lubrication. We gave it a try Tuesday night and it was good, though I think it will get better once I am not afraid of it hurting or my getting hurt. Wednesday morning was less good, but not painful (except that I was very aware that it had only been 9 hours since the first time).
(DH noticed no difference.)
I'm going to buy a basal thermometer and see if I can't track my cycle minus menstruation, so I can plan herbal supplementation accordingly.
Hormones are still all over the place; I'm less weepy but I have acne on my face, head, chest, and back. I'm thinking I could be processing out a hormone overload (like new babies do). I still get waves of nausea, cold hands and feet, etc.
No granulation in my cuff incision, so no silver nitrate, yay! GYN thought I had healed beautifully. I followed the protocol in Smart Medicine for Healthier Living.
Energy is still low, and activity causes pelvic pain, so I still have to take it easy.
Thanks everyone for your support!

Very good news. Before radiation I felt ok during sex and I bet as long as you keep doing well, you will have no problems.
CONGRATS on the no silver nitrate. I have heard about that granulation stuff and was always praying I would not need to endure it! lol So I am happy for you

Thanks Branwyn and Kristerae.
I felt great until 12/22, when I started holiday prep. I was on my feet all day prepping 12/22, 12/23, and most of the day 12/24, and had gatherings to host and/or attend 12/24-12/26, and I am literally back in bed from the pain.
I don't understand why I hurt so bad if the uterus isn't there!
