and just can not seem to concertrate on anything at the moment.
Update on my last post: my biopsy results came back clear as expected but in the end I have decided to go ahead with the hysterectomy as I still have problems with adenomyosis which can only resolved by a hysterectomy or menopause. Having gone through the last 5 yrs of doctors telling me that(menopause) is only around the corner, I should be more patient but to be honest I am not a patient person. So on Monday, I will be seeing the Doctor about having a hysterectomy and what my options are. At least with the biopsy results, I know that will be the end of it!
Last Friday, I finally gave in my notice at Joann’s and I am not sad at all. I think the frame shop will collapse without Georgia being there but I think it will cope fine without me there. Hopefully they will find someone like Georgia who is good at organizing and keeping the place ship shape so Nev can do what she does best and loves – designing frames.
My sister is fine and is awaiting more tests but like she has been all her life, she unperturbed by her latest battle with health.
On the upside,I have been accepted to train as a Docent at the Blanton Museum of Art. I have been thinking about doing it for a while so when they annonced they had new program starting in the fall, I applied straight away. Its going to be quite a challenge as I am useless at public speaking (although I have gotten better as I get older) and get very tongue tied with words, especially foreign names. So I am going to have to develope some sort of crips sheet so I can at least attempt to pronounce names like Julio Alpuy and the accompanying titles , Marina metafísica.
Congrats on the new job! AND for making a decision to have the hysterectomy! it’s amazing what the “female” things in our body can do to us, and I, just having tubes and ovaries removed, well, I’ve sure not regretted my decision. I’ve not had a migraine OR pelvic pain since and here I was just hoping to cut my risk of metastses from breast cancer! It’s hard to come to a decision sometimes if it’s not life threatening but usually our gut reaction is the right one. Hang in there!

Glad you are finally giving JoAnn’s the boot! They don’t seem to be managing that department very well.
I kept waiting for menopause as my sisters went through and finished. I ended up later than them but it did finally happen. Never been happier about something in my life! Hope your hysterectomy goes easily. Some people don’t understand that some of us hurt more than the average Jill when it comes to our periods.

Menopause which negan for me at 43 meant the end almost of awful migraines…I am still menopausal at 55…whew!
I have 4 sisters…three have had hysterectomies and we are all in the same state of health and wellness…so your decision if it works for you is the right one…the best of luck with it all
