My cycle is off

This month of may my cycle came two weeks apart! SAY WHAT? WHY? Why is it only two weeks this time? I'm not old enough for the change yet! Any suggestions? I'm 43 and I have fibroids in my uterus. It's a big cluster that grew as my pregnancy grew. I know I've reached the age where it's just about time to have them removed. Scary concept, right? Take the fatty deposit and cysts out of my breasts, as well. 

3:30pm. I feel not so good with my period. I need to buy more Tylenol. We ran out.  My relation said we could go tomorrow to get my rx. LOVELY! When it suits my relation! Gimme a break. 

7:35pm. Spoke to my elder relatives today. They demanded my attention on the phone. I explained I was focused on MY dependent relative. Then further in the conversation my elder relative wants to know when I'll be visiting. This month it'll be for Father's Day. We can only afford gas for once a month. I was accused of going to various places and not visiting them. I reminded my beloved elder relative that I don't go places anymore. I only go to the clinic now. My behavior has changed dramatically since last year! One thing I do not allow anymore is to be pigeonholed for something I did not or cannot do. Last month was a party for a great elder. We all went that day to celebrate 90 years of life. We don't go there every day, week or month. We go there on SPECIAL occassions. That's it. My family KNOWS that because of my anxiety/panic attacks I lost my independence. Thanksgiving was held at home. Christmas? Forget it! That required a Xanax! It wasn't easy traveling to ANOTHER COUNTY when the RX you're taking wreaks havoc on your system.  I've been journaling this for a bit over a year now. But only recently did I start blogging about it. 

Bye for now.
