Yeah you’d think those letters would be ophthional!

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.

Compassionately intolerant
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.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Arthur is out of surgery. Everything went well. We're waiting for clearance for him to get back to his happy place (on the boob).
He already sounds different, so I'm hoping that that bodes well for him going home like a normal baby.

So good, javachik.
The doc also said that Grace's eyes are improving slightly, that her left eye has improved almost to the point where it is ok for driving. Which meant as I drove home I realized that Grace is legally blind. I mean, honestly, her vision sucks, but I don't think I ever thought of it that way. She has so many other issues that her eyes have often been just sort of...not on the radar as much.

Yay fingers crossed for Arthur!
Kat, is that “almost good enough to drive with glasses”? But yeah, if she’s legally blind that sucks.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Everything went well.
Yay!
I'm hoping that that bodes well for him going home like a normal baby.
I'm going to hold out hope that he's Supranormal!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
But also why does ophthalmology have so many extra letters?
I edited an ophthalmology article today and was grumbling about that "h" after "op-". It doesn't need to be there!
Fingers crossed for Arthur!

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%.
That's wonderful, Susan. It makes it a lot easier to do the work when you see results.
Grace had a 2.5 hour ophthalmology appointment today.
Yikes, how does she tolerate these ordeals? I know she has way more experience than a person should have to have with medical procedures. But that is a lot. Even half hour eye exams are tiring.
He already sounds different, so I'm hoping that that bodes well for him going home like a normal baby.
That's wonderful. I am sure he will be happy to be back on boob.
