Dr. Pete hasn't confirmed it or anything, but I think it's safe to say that my menopause has started. My once-punctual periods have gotten irregular over the last 18 months, and now I've skipped one for the first time ever when I wasn't pregnant. (And no, I'm not pregnant; took the test to be 100% sure, but biologically, not really possible. Not much privacy in the CICU for that sort of thing. Let's just put it that way.)
I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it, hence the confusion. On the one hand I'm going YEAH! no more periods! On the other hand I'm going, eep. gettin' old. As if the still-healing pacemaker scar on my chest wasn't proof enough for me of that.
And here's an odd thing: I'm more conscious of my appearance. I'm interested in clothes again. I even put on lipstick the other day. I'm *gasp* SHAVING!
Am I turning frivolous in my old age?
ok, MORE frivolous?
