Cosmic humor hits me pre-op

Yea, this old universe has a sense of humor. It can be a mean one, but there's no question in my mind now that it exists.

I'm in my 50's, haven't had "that time of the month" in ages so what happens today?

Yep. I know this whole thing can kick hormones into gear but I didn't think it would happen this fast or when they have been so dormant. So now I have something to be very grateful for. I can get over the cramps before surgery day.

You other older women out there who are pretty much done with that phase of life but are going to be going through this.....um, might want to go buy some supplies just in case. Better to have them under the sink not needed than not to have them.

Men are so lucky.

You may want to check with your gyno about that. When you start out of the blue like that it can be caused by a variety of factors. It just happened to my friend. She had to have a D&C, during which a polyp was discovered. Still waiting for the pathology report. Just sayin' .....

I haven't had mine consistantly for years!! Hope this doesnt happen after the weight loss and pill reduction lol that would soooo not be cool :)

I think that's funny. My period started right before too. Then as soon as I got there it went into hiding for a week and a half, now it's starting again, lol

Don't be surprised if it does. My understanding is that a lot of unplanned pregnancies can happen after this surgery because your hormones get all excited and feel young again. And since you'll be happy and excited right along with them, welllll.......:P
