hormones: hell has seen no fury like a woman on hormones who should not be on hormones.

i am so relieved to find out today that i'm not totally insane. my doctor told me today that hormones can wreak unbelievable havok on certain women's brains. mine included. now, while on valium to keep me from being a crying, violent wreck (so far working total magic), i have been informed that if i am steady-as-she-goes three weeks from now, there is a huge chance i will be sane, not on valium, and not uterus-less.

amazing, the peace that information can bring despite what they say about ignorance being bliss.

as we get older, and have more complicated physical problems, how much are we to ask of the partners we have who live through the confusion with us. really?
