Hi Reze,

You know, I don't know anything about AOL. But, in Explorer and Netscape, there is a refresh button and you can go in and delete the contents of your history. My dad had some trouble in the past where a forum he visited would load from memory, like the last time he went, instead of loading fresh every time. We would do one of those things several times and the newer posts would show. Maybe you can post under posting problems and see if anyone there has any advice.

I don't know where my bleeding is from. I had a colpo, too, so that could be a little of it. I was bleeding a little when I woke up and it literally dried up that night. The next morning, I only had little flecks of blood when I went to the bathroom. Do they put in a catheter when they put you out? I couldn't tell if it was from that or from the other hole. LOL. Anyway, about 4:00 the day after surgery, the flood gates opened yet again and it has ebbed and flowed since then, non-stop. That's kinda why I think it is the normal pattern instead of from the surgery, since it stopped and started again the day after. Plus, I had a little discomfort until about 48 hours after the surgery and then it was gone, but the bleeding stayed. I didn't really hurt unless I sat. Otherwise, I had that feeling, like after an exam with a big speculum or after an ECC, where it feels like the folds in the vagina and cervix just need to find their way back to their normal place. Has anyone else ever felt that way? I also felt a little like I had some scrapes inside - because I did - but all of that discomfort was gone Friday.

The doctor told me not to expect much bleeding after the surgery and to call if it freaked me out. But, I am on one pill instead of three now and I wonder if my body needs time to adjust. I asked the nurse on Friday and she said to call if it was more than a pad an hour. It has been about a pad every two hours. The only thing they will do right now is give me more hormones and the doc is kinda trying to get away from that. If it gets heavier or if I start to feel too weak, I will call, but I am trying to wait until the follow-up on the 22nd. (That's when it is, Willow.) I don't know what the next step is if the biopsies don't show anything and the bleeding doesn't stop this week. And, I don't know how much blood I lost during the surgery, so I don't really know how much I can afford to lose over the next ten days.

As you can see, nothing has really changed in your absence, but we have missed you.

As for the recently single guy, Willow, I have been quarantined in a pool of my own blood since that one night. He probably found another rebound by now. :-(

How are you, Reze? What have we missed?
