I've heard several people tell me that I would have a lifetime of adjustments after having a radical hysterectomy. "You're gonna be experiencing so many emotions once you enter menopause," they say. I would be having lots of highs and lows as far as hormones go. People have told me about hot flashes, and whoo...they weren't kidding!! I hate these things. It can be 40° outside, and I would be needing to have the AC on. It seems like anytime it's over 75° outside, I'm burning up. I know one thing: I'm glad it's not summer anymore. I'm not looking forward to it.
They also say that your sex drive will probably go kaput, due to the lack of estrogen. Psshh. If anything, since the hysterectomy my libido has gone absolutely haywire!! Oh, dear, it seems like I'm craving "it" more. Maybe it's not a bad thing that I'm currently unattached to a guy. Pity the first fellow who dates me post-hysterectomy. ;-)
So I guess I'm not gonna be needing hormone therapy, after all. My hormones are just fine, thank you very much. ;-)
