Breast~ma for your mom, Erika. With an extra dose of Covid protection ~ma.

All possible ma~ma for you, Erika.

Thank you. They sent my mother a PDF with the whole dense-tissue thing in it, but she doesn't usually open PDF's without me and I didn't know about this one. Radiation has changed the tissue and made them different sizes...that may be what they were on about, but office staff don't know how things like that sound when it's not what you do all day long.(Of course, it could be a second round, but I'm gonna try not to think about that right now.) Except to say that I think she and I should stop being such...local islands and find some people around here to get support from.(Not just, like, caregivers...maybe they know some people that would, but I mean people aren't meant to do so much alone, and I can't even try to do the stoic-rock-island thing--as in "About A Boy", modern life takes more than two. Fucking horrible evening(that I'm still battling back from) of digestive...implosion, cause what else would you give the girl with next-to-nothing but an illustration of how certain things end up as curse words.(Don't think I'm actually *sick* so much as it's my system having one of its semi-annual 'sodesor trying *way* too hard to reinforce that God-as-Geppetto isn't real--I'm not clear on that. Definite Do Not Want, though.) Hard to live with times when it feels like my own body, well, if not hates me, bears a grudge or something. Didn't sleep well.

Oh Erica that's a lot. Lots of ~ma to you.

My first period at 50 hit me like a truck. I've had no energy . Cramps aren't the worst but pretty bad.

I went over for Crafty Day witb my friend but cut it short because i felt so icky.i felt better this morning but then faded fast. And I was going to volunteer tomorrow but emailed them to cancel. Which is disappointing but since I know it will be hot and it's not work I'm staying home.

And the internet had been out for most of the day. Supposed to be back st 430 and now it's 630 and Spectrum is "working on the problem"

Cable companies all need Elizabeth Warren to put her foot up their butts. Yeah...today was better, but not much.

My first period at 50 hit me like a truck.

I'm 52 now and still fucking getting them. Though they are more and more irregular, so I'm hoping they'll fuck off completely sooner rather than later. It feels really unfair to get a period AND hot flashes.

I thought I was finally on that road, and hadn’t had a period since February. But the damn heparin they gave me in the hospital seems to have brought it back. Feh. Super light though so I’m telling myself it doesn’t really count.

I'm feeling better today. I really want to go volunteer tomorrow so I'll see how I feel this afternoon. Normally I'm not hit with this kind of fatigue and it's annoying.

Also the last time I talked to a dr about peri menopause and menopause she was like -- I have a patient who is 60 (or almost 60 I can't remember) who still has regular cycles... Which sounds like a horror story.

eesh ... I can't imagine still having regular cycles ... I was relieved when I hit menopause.

this seemed like a Buffista/Bitch thing.
