The world in which we live ....

BOY: "There's kicking, punching, whipping and shooting in this game ... but it's not violent"

ME: "um, yes CHILD, that all describes violence"

BOY: "Well, there's no blood in it.  It's not violent violent, it's baby violence"

ME: Walks away shaking head .....

TMI Tuesday (REALLY!)

Soooo ..... 

I am now a woman of a 'certain age'.
My body is going through all kinds of really fucked up  normal"changes".
Some good.
Some not so good.

One of my 'not so good' has to do with birthing my 2 gorgeous, talented, ungrateful boys.
They ruined my girlish figure!
Literally.
They, along with lifting things I shouldn't have been, have caused my internal "lady parts" to start *falling out!
(I swear, even as I type that, all I hear is the old lady calling out from the floor, "Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!")

I have the trifecta of prolapses.
What does that mean? 
My uterus, bladder and rectum have all become UNattached and are pushing into the vaginal cavity.
They are falling out.
Let me say that again ..... they are
FALLING
THE
FUCK
OUT!
From inside.

I'm not sure exactly how or when it happened.
But I do know that i've had some "issues" since about January-February.
I didn't think much of it at the time; it was all very minor stuff.
But when I went to my regular "lady parts" checkup, my gyno was more than a bit concerned.
YAY ME!

Since then, I have had a barrage of tests ranging from a transvaginal ultrasound,
(Translation: They shove insert a rod into your pussy to have a look around. I call it the Dildogram. 
The wand/rod looks like a dildo. The hard plastic kind) blood work, more "lady part" exams than I care for, and today's fun ... a Urodynamic test!
The Urodynamic test consists of a catheter shoved inserted into your bladder and another in the rectum.
They fill your bladder with water slowly and ask how your bladder feels at different intervals.
They also have you cough and strain.
Finally, when you tell them that you REALLY have to pee, they stop and remove the catheter.
Everything is recorded as you're connected to a computer as well.
I still have Cystoscopy left to have done.
That'll be another EXCITING test! 
I get a CAMERA shoved inserted into my "lady parts"!
I better not see THOSE pics on Facebook!

All of these annoying as fuck tests are leading up to a meeting where I find out what the course of action and/or treatment plan will be.
I'm praying that he doesn't mention surgery involving using the vaginal mesh that is so popular in 
the treatment of "lady parts" falling out.
There are lawsuits out the ying AND the yang involving this shit.
What am I hoping for?
A few things actually.
See, on top of these issues, I also have fibroids all over my insides.
They have caused me much grief over the years.
In MY world, I would get a hysterectomy and then have all my parts REattached!
But we shall see .....

October 10th.

Till then, i'm just gonna be slightly more than my crazy/sexy/bitchy/insane self.
Oh yeah, I'm on a "NO SEX" till further notice.

Again, YAY ME! Poor Jack ....


*I was going to add a picture for better visual understanding, but honestly? They were all waaaaaaay to graphic! Google "Vaginal prolapse" if you must see what the hell i'm talking about! Mines just not THAT bad. Yet.

Never forget ....





Regardless of how you feel about what happened that day, 2,997 people gave their lives .....

"All gave some and some gave all
And some stood through for the red, white and blue
And some had to fall
And if you ever think of me
Think of all your liberties and recall
Some gave all"

Missing peace

I am alone again,
Unseeing,
Unthinking,
Unwanting,
Except for his warm skin
Close to mine.
My body screams,
"Come to me!"
Our love is tangible,
A living, breathing reality.

I want to fall into him,
Lose myself in him,
Be one with him.
He is my light
In the darkness.

Distance is a cruel thing.

Love note to my children .....

T'was the night before school started,
when all through the town,
the parents were cheering - a riotous sound!!
By nine, kids were all washed and tucked into bed,
where memories of homework filled them with dread!
New pencils, new folder, new notebooks too!
New teachers, new friends - their anxiety grew!
The parents just giggled when they learned of this fright,
but shouted to all,  

"GO TO BED!!!! IT'S A SCHOOL NIGHT!!!

September mourn .....

It's September already.
Where did August go to?
What happened to summer?

The days are getting shorter ....
The nights are getting cooler ....

So many things are happening this fall ....
I hope I have the energy for it all!

Little Man has a new counselor, and it seems to be going well.
He's responding well to the new treatment plan we have in place and
he just started a new medication, so we'll have to wait and see what happens.

Boy Genius had his first job interview, but sadly, he didn't get the job.
It's not easy for a teen to get a job when they have to compete with folks my age.
It's entry level, but when there's no other jobs?
Yeah, you take what you can get.
He's still trying .....
and THAT is what matters!

Me? Well, another year has come and gone.
I must say that I am not finding the whole menopausal 40's woman thing to be fun.
In fact, it sucks.

I've had a couple things come up in my "routine" exams, so now 
I go from test to test to test ....
Someday there will be a light at the end of the tunnel.
I just wish it were now.
I know that's not how it works .... just frustrated.

I'm kinda looking forward to getting back into a routine ....
I feel kinda 'lost' without one.

Well, I hope y'all enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend.
I know I'm doing my best to soak up the the last of summer.

Be safe ....
