On the way back to my cousin's house, I stopped and picked up some cold medicine and cough drops and prepared myself for a good sleep. My body was tired and I wanted to rest.
I woke up this morning feeling more run down and just yucky... I mean yucky. My tummy was rumbling, my head was clogged up, my nose wasn't working. My throat was sore and my coughs were really getting bad. I was thinking that I needed to call my other cousin and ask him to examine me (he's a doctor) because I was feeling ODD.
Soooo... imagine my surprise when I started feeling something weird down below... only to pull the quilt off and see that my period had made a grand re-entrance. Wow! I have not seen a menstrual cycle in TWO YEARS -- since I started my chemotherapy -- and poof! just like that... its back. With a vengence and messing up my plans.
Sigh.
I can't get too excited right now because I'm all crampy and feeling lousy... but you know, in the back of my mind... it just hit me that children are a possibility again. Just when I was getting comfortable with the notion that it wasn't possible... things shift.
I'm back to being a girl again...
