Yep, that's what I'm doing. For those outside the loop, I am in the midst of experiencing my final menstrual cycle. Sorry if that's too much info, but it's the truth. They have been so bad for so long, that I have finally scheduled myself for surgery in just under two weeks. A couple weeks of discomfort, several months of no lifting (which means restricted duty at work, as I won't be able to lift patients), and voila!, no more girl stuff. I will still get the bitchies, but if my mom is any gauge on that score, well.....
During the down time, I will be knitting up a storm. Three weeks of not being able to much of anything, include going to work. I am already lining up the projects. And then I go back to work, to do mostly chart audits and such. Or as my supervisor put it, 'she's my bitch'. Gotta love a job where the people you work with are real, not pretending to be nice and PC. I love the people I work with, I really do. And the fact that they will let me work restricted duty is a definite plus.
Mom is doing well. She's decided to kick the 'Big Ugly'. Her lumpectomy and sentinel node dissection is scheduled the same day as my surgery. E will stay with her and take her home. At least she gets to go home. Not me, two days in the hospital. Have you seen what they feed vegans???? I'll be taking my own food.
I'm hurrying to finish a pink Lady Eleanor for Mom. I want to get it to her in time for her op, so I can send her a big hug. She'll need it. I know I will.
So if anyone has any suggestions on welcoming the Crone into one's life, I'm all ears. Aside from knitting the Hecate shawl (purple with silver beads), I'm at a complete loss. Thanks, M
