WARNING: this post discusses a woman’s monthly cycle. If you do not wish to read about the menstural cycle, I suggest skipping this post.
Thoughts for this morning; slow starting, coffee ain’t cutting it, kind of morning.
I’m sitting here in bed, trying to think of something to write, but all my mind seems to be running back to is the excruciating pain that is radiating from my abdomen.
Like so many women in this world, I am plagued by the monthly visit fro the dreaded “Aunt Flo” “That time of the month” or whatever other tagline you can think of. It shows up every 21-28 days, stays for roughly 5 days, and then leaves, not before draining you of every ounce of energy or comfort you have. During the summer, it seems to be ten times worse. You are already uncomfortable with the heat, but then add this to the mix, and the pain and misery is 10 times unbearable.
For myself, this misery that is only supposed to last roughly 5 days, can last up to 11 for me, while I await surgery to help me. I am even on pills to help slow down the flow, and they aren’t working for me anymore. I have become anemic due to this monthly event, and the pain at times has sent me to my knees and I am unable to preform any simple tasks without having to run to the bathroom to change clothing first.
I love seeing the posts on how this should be so painful, and why am I being punished for not being pregnant again. Why cant we throw a party, and celebrate another no baby month :). I already have 3 beautiful children whom I love and adore with every fibre of my being. My body has done its time creating life… don’t I deserve a break lol.
I guess this is kind of my rant for the day because it seems that I am going to be bed ridden today with a hot water bottle, and cringe every time I have to get up and run to the bathroom, or just every time I need to cough or sneeze. I will be glad when this week is over, and I can get back to normal, and maybe not feel dizzy and like I am going to pass out if I walk more than 5 steps.
Have a great Sunday everyone.
