Despite the experience, the actress appeared to be in good spirits, even joking about her recently canceled legal dramedy "Harry's Law," which got the hook from NBC in May after two seasons.
"I don't miss my breasts as much as I miss Harry's Law," Bates wrote, including a winking, smiley-face emotion. "Thanks for all the sweet tweets. Y’all kept me going."
