Still Crazy After All These Years
Tue Dec 14 2004


Ummm, well, er, I don't have much to say today. But I promised to show up.
Imagine me sitting in Group Therapy, filling the chair. But I don't want to share today. I'm here. I'm listening. I'm observing.

What used to be a 28 day cycle, is developing into a 21 day cycle. Isn't that special?

I'm too old for this stuff.

Someone needs to inform my body of this fact.

Perhaps I was overlooked in the notification bulk mailing on the subject. My mailing label got gummed up in the machine. Whose files do I need to check?

At least I know where the anxiety was coming from yesterday.

I'm going to go knit now. A nice simple task that I'm pretty sure I can handle.

Knit knit knit.

See the crazy lady knit.

    I guess I was lucky. I went from 28 days to 35 days and then nothing for a month or two, and finally nothing. But it took 10 years.

    I wonder if you should change your name to Knitwit?

    Oh, I can top that one. Try living with a cycle that to date has run approximately 15 months with no end in site. I'm told it is not that unusual. Geesh, now that's just wrong.

    Don't count on 21 days sticking around for so long. My cycle is more of a range than it is a predictable phenomenon at this point. I can count on it being 30 days plus/minus 29 days or so.

    COMMENT!!! I would not touch it with a ten foot pole. As a MALE reader we can only hang on till it passes and just maybe not be voted off the Island.

    This is why I'm 42 and on blessed birth control pills. I got irregular and then it was just "on" always and forever until I thought I would lose my mind. Good luck.

    Oh, man. I remember those days. And then, as if a 21 day cycle weren't enough, the days ''on'' lasted longer and longer. Longest one was 19 days, and the doctor said it was ''normal for my age''! AAACK! I will wish brevity for you.

    Hugs,

    PS I'm still catching up with everyone, but I also wanted to tell you how much your comments meant to me, during Marshall's short life, and after he died. It gave so much comfort to know another was sharing our grief, more than I'll ever be able to express. Thank you.
