Back Among the Living Without the "C" Word!

First of all, THANK YOU, to all of my WONDERFUL, AMAZING friends who have brought my family yummy food, brought me movies and magazines (although on Percocet, I can't seem to concentrate longer than 20 minutes on any given thing), sent me flowers, brought me plants, called and checked on me, sent cards and ecards to wish me well, taken my kids all over creation (and with the prices of gas, this was a HUGE task!), cared for Garrett for the entire weekend (you deserve sainthood!!), cared for Elisabeth while out of town trying to watch ballgames, picked up and dropped off my kids at school. You all have helped in more ways than I can possibly say!!! It is greatly appreciated, many of you offered your assistance and I am sorry if I didn't get back to you, I was kind of "loopy" on pain medicine for awhile there. Who am I kidding?? I STILL AM! ; ) Although I am slowly trying to wean myself.
I thought this would be a 'vacation' of sorts. What mom doesn't want to lay in bed, watch movies, read books, etc?? Well, it didn't quite go that way. I didn't get any of those things done, other than I have the laying in bed, writhing in pain part down really well.
I am feeling so much better after the phone call I just received from my doctor's office. Due to the "abnormality of the bleeding" according to the nurse after surgery, they had sent off a tissue sample to the lab. I just received word that there were NO cancerous cells found!!! YEE-HAW! (Insert my wacky happy dance here!) However, she did state that the doctor would be discussing other possibilities with me at my follow up appointment since they can't seem to find the reason. Well, I don't really care what the reason is....as long as they fixed it and there is no cancer present, I am good with that! I feel so much better, it is like a weight has been lifted, prayers have been answered and I feel an adrenaline rush. Which is good when you have piles of laundry like I have after being down for a week!! I'm off to tackle the mountains! THANK YOU ALL AGAIN for all of your support. Each of you helped in your own special way to make me feel loved and for that, I love you all! I am truly blessed and it isn't going without notice! Please let me know if there is ever anything I can do for all of you!!!! I owe you all- BIG TIME!
