The doctor just called. The results of the bloodwork I had done last week are in.
I'm in menopause.
Um ... hooray? Boo-hoo?
Not sure what I'm supposed to feel, here.
Or do.
Does this mean I have to starting wearing red hats and purple clothes? Because those are my two least favorite colors.
Do I need to get more cats? Because my house is pretty full right now.
Am I supposed to throw a party? Like those awful parties some weird people throw when their daughters begin menstruating? Because that sh*t ain't happening. This is no one's business but mine. (and yours. ha.)
F*ck, I can't even throw my condom stash away - still gotta protect against disease, doncha know. Although honestly, those condoms have been gathering dust for quite some time.
I dunno. Maybe I'll go shopping. That sounds like a good idea.
Shopping for support hose and Werther's candies. SH*T.
I am old. My body says so.
I don't FEEL old. So I think I'll file this little tidbit away, as informative but not necessarily relevant.
There. NOW I feel better.

I would say.....woohoo - new era, eh ?
On the other hand, I'm pissed that we ladies have to go through all this hormonal shit and change throughout our lives -- while men sail through theirs without any of this...
Anyways, I hope all will be as easy as possible with your, ahem, change...and keep the young attitude going, makes all the difference in the world :-D
Well, did the start of your menses actually make you feel older? I bet it didn't. The biological clock has nothing to do with any other part of out lives.
My favorite part was when I went to the doc for a higher dose of HRT and he told me I was depressed. I explained to him "No, I want to kill people, totally different mood." He upped the meds.
Zella, I haven't had any symptoms at all - hopefully I won't GET any.
queen, good point!
and fmcetc., ha, "I'm not sad! I'm homicidal!" Love it.
You know, come to think of it, I HAVE had some rage-filled moments over the past few years, but I chalked it up to quitting smoking. Hmmm.
