Moonlight and Menopause

I just have to share an experience I had a while back. You never know when something like this can happen and the older I get..........

After twenty six years of living here I have become used to the heat and humidity of Southwest Florida. I have central air and surround myself with fans to cool the sweat as it rolls down my neck and back (I also keep lots of tissues around the house).

About a year or so ago I was busy cleaning the house. As I took a short break to cool off I was dabbing a paper towel across the back of my neck when I had an itch on my stomach just below my left breast. There I am standing in my bedroom in front of the fan trying to cool off when I reach down to scratch this annoying little itch....and that was when I felt it. Absolute terror swept across my body. I was completely frozen in fear, for when I scratched that annoying little itch......I discovered a lump under my breast.

Time stood completely still as I stood in front of that fan and felt that lump. I don't even think I was breathing. When I snapped to I ran practically screaming into the bathroom tearing off my blouse, tears streaming from my eyes.

And that's when I saw it........

The lump............

It was my nipple.

Of course, my tears were instantly replaced with tears of joy as the alternative is too frightening to think about. But, I must admit, immediately after I had to throw my hands up in the air and howl with laughter. Plastic surgery may indeed be in my future!

Well...I'm off to a moonlight stroll.
