It's going okay, Muffled. Thanks for asking.
Things with T are better than they were, but still not back to normal. I've been debating whether or not to bring up the big argument we had when I went to the doctor last month. We just haven't discussed it since that night. Half the time I think I should just let it be and the other half of the time I know there's stuff I need to get off my chest about that. So we'll see.
We've been pretty focused on my work stuff (it's been a difficult several weeks there due to changes in my job) and on the possible hysterectomy I have to have. I should know more about that the first couple of weeks of September. But I'm still cycling every 2-2.5 weeks and this last one is still going on (8 days now). So I don't think I will make it long on that kind of schedule.
I went to the beach last week with my family for a couple of days. It was okay, but it's hard for me to be around that many people for that long. And my mother tends to glue herself to me at the beach in ways she doesn't when I visit my parents' house and that is always difficult for me. So I enjoyed the ocean, but I was also glad to get home.
I went out with co-workers tonight and had a great time. I definitely need to make more time for fun in my life.
Enough update? The quick version is nothing is awful and nothing is great. You know?
Now I want to hear all about your vacation.

**Gee, I hope you guys can work it out.
Mebbe you just 'done' w/her?
Mebbe its time for a break or for someone different, with new ways of doing stuff?
Sometimes I'm inclined to thing, while a change is hard, it might be a good thing...

Them hormones can be nasty :-(
And hysterectomy, thats a tough one. I've done w/kids, so I am personbally of the thot, take the stuff out, I'm DONE. But you weren't done? If not, I'm sorry, thats a hard one. Very hard.

**Sounds perfect, good for you for doing that and being able to let yourself enjoy it! :-)

> Sometimes I'm inclined to thing, while a change is hard, it might be a good thing...I hear what you're saying and maybe I am done. It's hard to figure out, as I know you know. I don't think I'll start over with someone else after all these years. I have been thinking about cutting back to once every two weeks and seeing how that feels.

Very hard.Yeah, hormones are ALL screwed up. I'm either menstruating or pre-menstruating pretty much all the time now. I'm done with kids and I'm not all that attached to my uterus. I am worried about all the pelvic exams, though, and also worried about the surgery itself and the recovery. I don't have a lot of room for error if I can't get back to work in two weeks. So it's a lot to think about. But I definitely will not be sorry to see my uterus go. :-)

I'm glad things are getting better with her. Hopefully she'll be more available again as you need her. But if the previous argument was on a similar topic, I'd think it was important to get on the same page so she can be as helpful as she can be?
