I am SO sorry for ever laughing or making fun of you when you were having a hot flash. Saying "NO, Mom it's not hot in here, it's just you" or "Don't mind her, she's just flashin" or snickering even though you would say to me "Just wait, you'll know what this is like eventually!"
Well Mom, I got mine. It's early, a lot earlier than they would've come naturally, but they're here in full force, medically induced. Yay for me!
I swear I've had Four hundred seventy eight today, and each time I think of you, and all those times you would freeze me to death in the car for a few minutes until yours passed or fan yourself frantically in public not caring who was looking at you crazy. That's me now, except when people look at me they don't give me the menopause excuse and feel sorry for me. They probably think "Hahaha Look at that crazy lady sweating profusely and fanning herself like she's about to die! Wonder what in the world she's on"
I can only imagine what it'll be like this summer when it's 100 degrees outside and if I'm still wearing this dang wig I will literally sweat to death! I'll be the disturbed woman at the birthday party who scarred all the children for life by ripping her hair off in front of them because she was so hot!
The night time ones are the most fun though, they come so often sometimes I feel like I didn't sleep at all. I always pull my scarf off immediately when they come at night because my head is sweating & throw the covers off my body. That one passes and I fall back asleep, usually in the same position. Five minutes later I wake up cold. Really...Good times!
Sorry Mom! Again, you were right (did you ever have any doubt?). Also to any other menopausal/post menopausal ladies out there still going through this. Peace be with you...and may you have access to a big, powerful fan at all times Amen.
