Our Others

This post is going to have nothing at all to do with menopause, so no tales of hormone imbalance, hot flashes or lack of this or that but rather I decided to talk a little about a topic that is simply an every day occurrence in our home, I’m referring to our “visitor”. For those of you who have ever seen the movie “The Others” you will quickly know why I chose the title of my post.

Rain, Clouds and Internet Migration

Rainy days and sunday

Yucky weather, rain, cold, damp, gloomy, misty, trapped inside but what can you do?…order chinese!

Hello everyone, well due to stress, workload, and internet migration I failed to meet my Postaweek, oh well, the world isn’t going to come to an end, but I won’t beat myself up about it because it was just beyond my control and besides, my mind was overloaded so the post quality wouldn’t have gained my approval.

A couple of weeks ago my father had a scare with his heart. He hadn’t been feeling very well for a few days and gradually felt worse. He recognized that something wasn’t quite right with his heart so instead of putting it of he went to the ER and he was right, he was having a heart attack.

Today Is MY Day-200 Followers!

Hi everyone, today was a landmark day for me I now have 200 followers. To most of you this seems like a very small number but for me it shows that menopause issues are worldwide and for anyone interested in, the biggest milestone in a woman’s life, amazes me. I am truly humbled to each and every one of you and appreciate all of your comments. I also truly appreciate all of the helpful tips and advice I have received since I began my blogging journey in November….THANK YOU!

So how does someone celebrate their first major milestone?

I just read a post from someone who said that if you are in doubt about a supplement or medical issue then you should ask your doctor because they are the most important and up to date resource out there…..but are they really?????

It seems that every time you try to see your doctor they are always booked up, usually, so tell me…if these doctors are so busy how do they find time to keep their knowledge up to date with the every change on healthcare out there?  Simple, there is no way they can….they are human.

The Birds are all Twitterpated

Wow, what a gorgeous day. It’s a little chilly today but we’ll take it. Our area has seen it’s fair share of cold weather this winter and we are so ready for the 70′s. SPRING!

I mowed and trimmed the yard and even found some time to do a little bird watching, so much activity in the woods today and so much twitterpating…..anyone who is around my age will remember that word from Bambi, if you don’t know the meaning of twitterpating, then you are too young to be reading a random blog about a menopausal mamma

365 Days of Wearing White!

February 18, 2011….a day I remember vividly, it was the day a single doctor changed my life. Although I am left a somewhat “empty shell”, complete with a 8″ scar running horizontally across my once slim, bikini-ready body, I am healthier and I feel great-pain free.

To celebrate 2 years of no monthly visitor or pain I wanted to construct a list of a few ways in which my life has changed dramatically since that day at the hospital.

I’ve been through so much in my life and definitely the most difficult adventure I have ever been on, was my trip into the operating room to have all of my female stuff removed and replaced by thousands of stitches.

Today I “met” the most courageous woman that I have “met” yet on wordpress, her name is Christina and the name of her blog is “Does your journey seem long”. I sat in utter amazement as I read her story. This woman is so strong, and her journey through health problems and how your body can turn on you, is definitely worth your time, bring a tissue you will need it.
