process after surgery to Surgeon giving comments at check-up
First, week in Paradise,Laguna vacation was wonderful, I returned to Phoenix Sat. Oct 18, and same day the friend I was visiting, she flew to India to teach for month. I enjoyed returning to work at AHCCCS on Monday, Oct. 20...WOW, I didn't realize how this health "worry"/stress had zapped my energy..Plus I noticed I was not going to the restroon every 50 minutes to void! I realize that before the surgery I was all but falling asleep at 4:00 p.m., the first day back I worked to 6 p.m. went to a Native American convention event, at a local hotel, and did not get into bed til late..."up - and at 'em" Tues., another great day, then Wed to the Surgeon for the two week check up (I'm the Stress out Blogger)....well
BENIGN
When I heard the Surgeon say that word yesterday, I wanted to go out of that office and dance back to the office….my face was not big enough for the smile and my heart was bursting with JOY…so I went to St. Joe’s Starbuck’s and had a large green tea to drink while I drove to the office to have the one of the best days of my life.
Yes, the surgeon wants track changes, so wants to see me again in Dec., wants me to have ultra-sound before that visit. He stated that the uterus will probably grow shut again, overweight plays factor as that can cause the production of too many hormones which then contributes to the uterus walls thickening…Therefore, he just wants to have follow-up visits, because he has viewed inside the uterus and saw the “pink” so if/or when it grows shut he will not be concerned based on the ultra-sound readings. Now is that good news or what!
Thanks for all the support I got from YOU...I have never experienced such support from souces outside my sphere of friends....Heart energy LOVE is has been proved to be felt 45 feet from one person to another, well the power of sharing via email/web can be felt too, trust me on this one!
I'm here if you need me

Princeline, what wonderful news!
I love the way you describe the way you felt when you heard the word. I could feel how large your smile was and could almost taste that good green tea.
Your journey these last few weeks has been a rollercoaster, full of anxiety and fear and procedures and now relief and joy. It's been an honor to accompany you in the small ways we did.
How will you be changing your lifestyle? What sorts of things will you be concentrating on between now and your doctor's visit in December?
Diane, I have now really thrown myself into a local campaign and will do that til Nov 4th. Then I have couple of classes I want to take in Sedona before end of the year, plus I'm on the Native American Connections board and as such will be working on goverance issues, helping needy urban Indians during these coming holidays, find out how I can get involved with the Indian School restoration project. An on a real personal level, I'm going to buy a treadmill so I can watch TV and exercise...I have to be to the office shortly after 7 so walking in the dark doesn't thrill me, so the treadmill will not allow me to have an excuse.
Then my Laguna girl-friend returns early Dec from India and we will be going to the Rose Bowl Parade, my first time, plus I will be helping her launch her first book.
I will be her staff person, virtual assistant, and this is perfect, even tho it will be without pay, as my current state positon may go away due to the current situations and election outcomes. I'm very joyeous and do not worry - Jehovah watchs over the Ravens and the Lillies of the field, and he loves me even more....
Thanks for the support and LOVE

Dear Princeline,
Do you hear that noise right now? That’s me jumping up and down for joy over your post! I am so happy for you Princeline, and so relieved that you heard that wonderful and exhilarating word “benign” from your doctor. I have been hoping and praying that this would happen ever since your first post and I couldn’t be any happier for you.
I just love your posts and the way you describe your feelings and emotions so well. I can almost taste that green tea that you had from Starbucks on that morning as you drove back to work at AHCCCS.
You are so right that stress can make us react in so many physical ways, and that we often don’t even realize what we’ve been doing until the stress is gone. I’m glad to hear that you are feeling better in all ways, and I know this will only continue for you.
I am so honored that you’ve been able to find support from this website. That was my main goal when I started this, to create a safe and welcoming place where women from all over the world could come and share their stories and get help from one another. You are just a shining star to me, and I just know that you will continue to be fine. Your attitude and spiritual strength just shine through in your posts and I know in my heart that they have positively influenced your health as well.
At the end of your post you wrote, “I’m here if you need me.” Please know Princeline that we are also here if you need us. Best of luck to you and please continue to keep us posted on your good health and reports! Big hugs to you, Michelle
