After being on tenterhooks for a week I finally got a letter in the mail from the radiologist who read my mammogram with the diagnosis that it was normal. Well, that is nice to hear! I have normal fibrocystic breasts. Hmmm... I had no idea that I had fibrocystic breasts. I have never had symptoms until now. I wonder if perimenopause can bring on symptoms? I certainly have THAT. The freaking night hot flashes that wake me up at 2-3:00am are just a joy! If I am lucky I can get back to sleep when I cool back down. If not I am in for along sleepless night and a groggy, cranky day. You certainly do not want to be around for that! Add to that the erraticness of my periods and my winning personality and I am a definite charmer. Of course I have to put up with my husband whining like a baby when he has the slightest cold so I am sure he can put up with my bitchiness. After all, I do tend to coddle him when he is ill. Men just aren't made to handle stuff like us women are. I guess in a way I feel a sense of entitlement for taking care of him for all these years. He can take a tiny amount of heat. God knows I am FEELING the heat now. We have many more years to spend together and I know this stage will be over is a flash. I just hope it isn't a hot flash!

Holy Moly! How scary! Men are such goobers even if we love them! And... of course they will never get to understand what a hot flash feels like!
ReplyDeleteThis blog is just gorgeous ! It's pure eyecandy!
Fabulous that he mammogram was negative. I have recently been through my own scare (writing about it on my blog was a great outlet) - with my radiologist more interested in covering herself legally, she put me through the ringer psychologically speaking.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is lovely. I have enjoyed my visit.
So glad you liked my blog. I never knew how therapeutic writing could be!
ReplyDeleteI'm late making the rounds, and sorry for your new hassles, but it sounds like this was still pretty good news.
