Funny though I don't really remember the drive home I do remember hearing a Nickleback song on the radio - If today was your last day and the entire way home I was left pondering what would happen if I died.Hippofatamushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07615189167174224932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292139826907260169.post-85001058115421819032009-12-05T00:25:51.438+00:002009-12-05T00:25:51.438+00:00Thank you Tracey for sharing.

I too had similar probs and was told at one point that further investigations would be necessary as it was suspected that I had ovarian cancer. Happily, this did not turn out to be true but it was a very worrying time for me. Eventually I had my fibroids removed, 23 of them. They said they couldn't remove them all as I had bled too much during the operation but thank God they were out.<br /><br /> . . . <br /><br />Tracey, I so respect the honesty and vulnerability you have shared with us in this post and although it is a terrible thing to have happened to you I for one am so inspired by the Tracey I have come to know on-line . . and after all of that you actually went back to work!!!!! Have a blessed Sunday Trace!!Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10656576703356658911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292139826907260169.post-28597827799319071082009-11-15T04:29:48.779+00:002009-11-15T04:29:48.779+00:00Thanks for sharing your story ...Thanks for sharing your story ...Dariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10806073037988154854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292139826907260169.post-20548693300012023272009-11-15T00:00:54.495+00:002009-11-15T00:00:54.495+00:00I love that song and have it on my i-pod.
