Sorry About the Photos, Today is a new day

I will  make more of an effort to write here the weeks before, during and if necessary, after my period. After the passage of that solid tissue, I was okay. I felt bad about all of that fussing. Many people  who have signed up for this blog are offended by my gumption to post the tissue on the Web. Well consider this a medically-themed blog. I am not ashamed of what occurs naturally in life. How could I be? It's just that tissue bigger than a .50 cent piece requires a doctor's attention.
Clearly that is not bigger than a round .50 cent piece but it is thicker and it still had to be pushed out of my very firm cervix. It was like labor --all in my back and everything. I was in public shopping in pain, at the gas station in pain, conducting all sorts of business in pain. That is just how life is when I'm on my period. I still have to function in the world, in pain or not, taking pain meds or not, pleasant or evil.

(Yes, one woman in the thread had that as an issue and I can identify.) Article links: No Hysterectomies for Heavy Periods MensesEdu I'm reading some of this information now and in developing countries young girls and women may not have an eco-friendly alternative to sanitary pads. They are using cloths that are laundered--probably by hand--and then reused. Where would all of those women put used sanitary products? In a land field? I dunno. I'll keep reading...but one woman commented on the Mooncup facebook page that the

The pain is bearable but...

...it is unpleasant. I've already had two ibuprofen today. The pain actually started yesterday but went away. It started in enough time to prevent me from attending a school board meeting and put me to sleep through most of it until an hour before the end. I listened to the remainder on the school district radio station. Blimey. Anyhoo, here is an older video of me bleaching my hair:
