Are my hormones really out of whack or am I just a bitch?

Today is the day – in a few minutes I will be on my way to see the PA for my hormone lab results to find out if I am a candidate for the hormone injection pellets. I did some more reading over the weekend to make sure it was, in fact, what I wantedContinue reading “Are my hormones really out of whack or am I just a bitch?”

Getting to “second base”

So the mammogram – or as I like to call it; “getting to second base” is now complete. With a history of cancer in my family; waiting on these results is nerve-wracking.

42 bottles of blood….

I went for my initial consult this morning. Went through the usual array of medical questions – when was your last period? 2006.. how many children? 3 do you drink?

Hormone Pellet Injections – because im too old for SnapChat but too young for LifeAlert.

Then They Do….

I had three kids by the age of 26.. I remember being so tired I would go into the shower and cry. I worried about them constantly.. I worried that I wouldn’t have the energy to keep up with the midnight feedings or that I wasn’t paying enough attention to the boys or that I wasn’t payingContinue reading “Then They Do….”

Getting Old Sucks..

I just turned 46 years old. I’m SUPPOSED to be in the prime of my life. But I’m not. I find myself slowly falling apart.. vision is going, I forget things, and sometimes, if I laugh hard enough…well, THINGS happen.. things no one wants to know about. The Face… This face.
