Weight off my chest

I got home from my exchange surgery and am really looking forward to a
good night's sleep.

My surgery was a breeze, the nurses couldn't get over me. I was smiling,
really alert and chatting away. I had to wait 2 hours for my friend to come
get me, so did a lot of chatting. They were so nice, when I left they all hugged
me and wished me a speedy recovery and that I beat my cancer habit ...

I am really hopeful. AND........it's embarrassing but I don't care we share pretty
much everything on here so here it goes, I got my period again it's been
about 10 months without. Never thought I would be happy about that = )


Thanks everyone for being there and inspiring me with you beautiful posts.

Hugs,
Ayse

    I missed it too, glad things
    I missed it too, glad things went well. Many times surgery brings on a woman's period. I remember when I went through it the first time, I was glad to get it back, the second time not so much so although I have heard it can I hope it doesnt!!!

    Great news!So glad you got those expanders out & your exchange surgery went well. Rest and hugs my friend :)
    -i really got the short end of the stick when it comes to chemo side effects, i hear all the time about your periods stopping when you're on chemo but mine have been here the whole time! i did actually just have a procedure that basically removes the lining of the uterus -i've had terrible problems with mother nature every month since I had my youngest baby Lia, my Dr recommended this procedure & said that alot of women don't even have their periods anymore, and those that do only have light spotting & he said i can kiss those cramps goodbye!
    enjoy your soft new boobies, i can't WAIT for mine :)

    Thanks you everyone
    Aaaah, for the first time in a long time, I woke up a little dizzy and nauseous
    but not feeling like I was hit by a truck! I love it.

    So I am taking it easy today, watching movies and eating frozen grapes. It's my
    new favorite snack. You should try it, just put the grapes in the freezer and it
    makes for a tasty and refreshing snack.

    All four fur-babies ( love that term ) and my neighbor's dog are sprawled out
    around me, purring and using their magic healing powers on me. So it's very cozy.
    I should be and running in no time.

    Ayse, rest and enjoy the company of your fur-babies, even
    the one that has been borrowed - neighbor's dog. Yes, they have magicial healing powers. Stay rested for a few days - take it easy !

    so happy surgery went well today and you're home recuperating. As for the period - I haven't had one in 11 years. We are happy for small normal things, eh! Take care and rest and heal.

    Hi Ayse,
    I am twice happy
    Hi Ayse,

    I am twice happy for you.. I remember beeing very happy when I got my period back.. who would have thought THAT was going to make us happy.. haha.. I look forward having my exchange surgery soon and feel that same relief you are having now.. what type of surgery was? from your tummy or from your back? I really hope that you get a very quick recovery and that you keep enjoying the little gifts life offers everyday!
