Ms. Men O. Pause, have several seats please!

I want a refund on all the free classes that gave out sub par information! If I tell you something, I am going to give you all the facts, good and bad!Remember in elementary school, 5th grade, they separated the girls and boys and had, "the talk". I was told that I would bleed once a month for a few days. That was lie number one! I bled for seven days!!! I was told that once I received this "gift", I should expect it every month until I'm in my fifties!!! WAIT WHAT?!?!?!?!

Well first of all, Aunt Flo showed up one month before my thirteenth birthday. I was the last one in my group,lol. I got it and then I didn't get it.I had what was called a irregular period until I had my first child. The nicest thing I can say about my Auntie Flo is she was not painful. I couldn't wear white or go horseback riding like the commercial state, but I never had cramps. Well after years of rebellion  I finally Auntie Flo under control. Well she decided to buck the system and show up twice a month once I hit forty! There can be but ONE QUEEN and I am she!!

I went in and had a partial hysterectomy in April of 2014. I should have known it was going to be a bumpy ride when I was getting ready to go to the hospital and Auntie Flo showed up! Now Auntie Flo you was there at the doctor's appointment when we setup this procedure!Round here acting like this was an ambush intervention! Anyway we went on to the hospital and got prepared to say our goodbyes. Auntie Flo and I departed ways and what was supposed to be a overnight stay turned into a weekend get away.

After I came home I was still having issues. My doctor said You have ten years before menopause begins and I want you to have it naturally. Doctor with all due respect, Ion want nothing hindering me. It's gotta go. He didn't budge. Well I experienced cramps,mood swings, PMS and everything else imaginable! My former doctor's kept saying it was all in my head. I'll blog about that later!
I just know that in June 2017, they went in and snatched my ovaries out. They pulled out a few ovarian cyst that were tap dancing on my bladder and had me looking five months pregnant!
Chile I done went in and had a outpatient procedure and became a patient for three days!!
Well when I got home, without medicine, I waited. And waited. And then boom, a/c went from 75 to 69. My fan running too! 

No one told me what to expect, what to do, or how to feel. What happened to the sisterhood? I have run into some random women who have said, sleep with your foot out from under the cover. Chile I guess.
 I think you should just tell the truth!Have that class once a year all the way up to senior year in high school. Reiterate that this is going to happen, and this can happen! Menopause is not your grandmother's issue. There are more younger people having hysterectomy's now than it was ten years ago. We need to be educated and we need to pass that knowledge on. Nothing worse than being blindsided....

Whoa is that me?

Back in 2007 I was going to school to finish up my cosmetology training. I remember getting up at 4:30 a.m. every morning to take my ex husband to work. Then I would stand outside with my son to wait on the bus to pick him up at 6. Then I would get dressed and take my daughter to school downtown and race to school. I would slide in my seat at 8 on the dot. Instead of enjoying lunch with my classmates I had to go take my ex to grab lunch and then rush back to school. I would leave again a few hours later to pick him up and take him home. Then back to school I went until 10 p.m. I did this until February 20th 2008. Remember that date. I would come home check homework, get everyone prepared for the next day, shower and do my homework. Sleep would find me at 1 a.m. only for daylight to take it again.  I did all that and cared for my aunt who was starting her own journey. I remember being tired and fatigued. I had a 3.5 GPA and then one day I got called into the Dean's office. I had a...

Who going to Wakanda?!?!?

Last weekend I went to see the much talked about movie Black Panther. The week prior was opening weekend. When I tell you black people dressed in African garb and Wakanda Forever T-Shirts. They showed up and got in formation. I said I was going and my Facebook peers suggested I dress up, do it for the culture. Well I did not dress up.I sat my happy self in my truck at the local drive in with a Publix sub and a half gallon of their peach tea and waited to see what all the fuss was about. When the movie was over I remember saying I like the soundtrack. I liked how they could fly and drive and still be in the lab. I liked it all in all. However I LOVE the Suicide Squad. I like what I like and I don't go along with everything black because I'm black. I seen alot of my peers looking for flights to Wakanda, ya'll be safe. I'm not going. They had little quotes that people felt were geared to keep us woke. Funny thing is ya'll still sleep. Weeks before the movie was to...
