Easy-peasy ~ma for Arthur!
ION, I got my period today for the first time in 3 months, and I am pissed about it. That 3-month stretch (plus the fact that I am 52 goddamn years old) gave me hope it was gone for good.
OMG same. Nothing for Feb - June and then they gave me heparin when I was in the hospital for my gallbladder and BAM. Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in.
*I’m sure the heparin probably had nothing to do with it but I’m still salty.
Sending ~ma to Arthur and family.

Preach!
Much ~ma to Arthur. I hope all goes well.
Health ~ma for Arthur!

One nice thing about having a hysterectomy is that you KNOW you're done. (Not that I'd encourage it for that alone, nor would insurance cover it even in a sane medical system, but still.)
I've noticed that in my current Couch to 5K endeavors I actually have more energy and endurance at 52 than I did 10 years earlier, and I attribute that mostly to no longer being laid up with excessively heavy bleeding roughly every three weeks, with an assist from the breast reduction surgery taking so much literal weight on my shoulders that it's cut my level of chronic pain by at least 75%.
Sending easy surgery vibes for Arthur and calm vibes to his family.
Grace had a 2.5 hour ophthalmology appointment today. It was a lot. But also why does ophthalmology have so many extra letters?
Yeah you’d think those letters would be ophthional!
Surgery~ma to Arthur!
I hope you heal up quickly, smonster.
Ugh, that sounds exhausting l, Kat.
I’m at the lovely stage of perimenopause where my period just shows up randomly. Three weeks some months and then 5 weeks on other months. So fun.
It’s a testing week at ltc’s karate studio so she will hopefully come home halfway closer to her next belt (they mark their current belts with red tape when they’re halfway to the next one). She went with TCG because I decided I was done parenting for the day.
I'm not surprised, but bone-deep disappointed, at the lack of information and/or support for the all-the-way menopaused woman.
Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to see the increase in focus on the before and mid stages, but there are a whole lotta folks in my predicament.
