The "M" Word I'm Not Ready For That Yet?

Over the last several months I have happened to watch alot of the reports about women and menopause. You never really know when it will happen or how it will happen to you. I have heard from people over the years who had terrible experiences and those who said they went through it very easily. Of course you take each recommendation with a grain of salt and basically throw the dice and hope your experience is easy both on you and those around you. I have intently listened to the Suzanne Somers experience and don't really think she is so radical on her ideas. I have always been one who really hates with a passion to take even a Tylenol for a headache. I know what long-term birth control can do to your system and don't want to live that again. I can only hope to that I don't pay for it in a few years.

I really don't think that after going to the gynecologist yesterday (of course he is male and even though he has practiced for years and years and years, I doubt that he really knows what a female body goes through) he brought up the "M" word yesterday and after the shock subsided, of course after I left his office I thought to myself "wait a minute I don't no if I agree that I am even there yet? To be perfectly honest I didn't feel positive after I left. It didn't help that when I stepped on their scales it was entirely off compared to mine at home (after stepping on it a second time I was happy with the reading it gave me) then on to blood pressure. Of course I took into consideration that it was slightly higher because I had to be in the doctor's office but hey I requested the nurse take it a second time, I don't think she was happy about that either, but hey it's my body I think I might no a little better than her what my numbers are.

When I returned home I quickly gave David a call and I could tell by the response over the phone when I said the "M" word that he probably went into a little bit of shock also. Although he sometimes probably figures when I bite his head off I am deep into it and denial at the same time.

All I can say is, I actually feel better than I have in several years, except for the occasional ache or pain, and I guess I should have spoke up to the doctor and said "Hey don't burst my bubble, until you have lived in my body, don't use that "M" word just yet....More to come..
