Second operation of the week today!

Calum must have felt that he was being left out of the "sympathy after an operation", loop! So today was his turn for major surgery (as he called it). He was so worried, (Baggy thought) that he insisted that Baggy go in with him. So being a loyal wife, she did, much to the Doctor and Nurse's surprise. The Nurse asked Baggy if she was going to be okay. Of course she was, as she had no intention of looking, so she got Creative Clara to write her novel. Clara managed to write precisely one sentence before the major surgery was over! It took under five minutes to have a little skin-tag removed by laser. So ever since, he has been needing sympathy and complaining that, unlike Baggy who was allowed to rest in bed after her Lawrence-the-durmoid-cyst surgery, he had been "made to get straight up". Hahaha! Baggy loves him lots. What he was actually worried about was leaving Baggy alone in the reception area. Bless him. Clever Bird thinks it's because he was worried that Hormonal Hannah would have a meltdown being back in the surgery again.

Hormonal Hannah did however take the opportunity to make an appointment for Baggy to discuss the menopause. She is seeing the Doctor who found Lawrence, as she will have a lot less explaining to do to her. Well assuming that the Doctor remembers Baggy that is, but as it was all such a drama Clever Bird expects that she will. The appointment isn't for another few weeks and it will be interesting to see if she can help, as Baggy has zero intention of taking HRT. But although Baggy can cope with the night sweats and hot flushes (awful as they are), there are much worse symptoms, that she is not coping with so well. Her mood swings are getting beyond amusing; she has never been a particularly angry person, but now, well, her temper and irritability are ridiculous. But worse still are the regular feelings of worthlessness and a total lack of confidence, to the point that some days Baggy does not want to even leave the house! She bursts into tears for no apparent reason, can't sleep, so is permanently tired and as for her libido, well that seems to have disappeared on a round the world trip to Antarctica never to be seen again. Frankly, Calum is a Saint to put up with Hormonal Hannah, because Baggy is getting seriously fed up with her! But at least some form of action is now being taken to try to control the old bag!!!! Clever Bird knows that things have got to a desperate state, when Calum says to Baggy, "Why don't you have a glass of wine?" as he just did. Ah well, Baggy will just have to class it as her day's "syns" on her diet........
