Fred I'm so sorry. SuziQ too :(
ION, it's been 6 weeks since I got my IUD out, and I officially have my period back. It's been 10 1/2 years since I had one, and I forgot how to have a period. Good god.
I remember that feeling with great lack of love. After 20 years on the pill straight through (no placebo pills, no breaks, no periods) having to stop on account of the adenoma sucked. Took me at least 8 months to get back to anything resembling a normal cycle. Sim sit after both (failed) IUD attempts: there were a few months of instability while hormones re-balanced. I have fallen in love with Thinx and Bella Cup (little sister of Diva Cup for smaller vaginas). One alone works, but the two together is perfection and allows me to continue swimming and everything else I want to do without focusing on the detritus flowing out of my body.
I've also kinda fallen in love a little with getting acupuncture during my flow. Then I focus on collecting all the pains and negative thoughts and trying to untie them from wherever they are tangled and tie them instead to the sloughing uterine wall so that I can flush them down the drain after.
Oh suzi. Sorry for you too. Xoxo
Thanks erin and pix. She was so deteriorated. In hindsight I can see it better than in the moment. All the little accomodations we had been making for her really added up. Not sure if that makes sense.
Noodle and Jack seem to be renegotiating their pecking order. Noodle is still skittish, but she is standing up to him more and more each day. Jack knows he is on the bottom rung and it seems Noodle is finally realizing that fact.
so yesterday ,one of my friends had to let go of her dog of 16 years. though she was aging, it was fast and sudden. my friend J had her since L was a puppy. and J makes jokes about K, her husband marrying her foe access to L . L was a brat, but a well loved brat. that had me in tears yesterday.
Today, a friend was killed in a car crash. Barbara was 96, still teach a yoga class that was challenging. She was an artist , musician and Poet. She was calm, rooted and full of an amazing energy. As many of my friends are saying - she is what we aspired to be.
even with out the current state of the world that would be a lot
My body just aches with grief today. I had no idea grief could be this visceral
Oh beth, I'm so sorry. Individually, that is a lot. In combination it is heartbreaking.
Oh no beth! I'm so sorry.
How awful, beth. I'm sorry.
{{beth}} I think we are emotionally fragile with the world situation and this makes the personal losses that much harder.
