About me

Introduction	As a teenager, I lost most of my ovaries during the surgical removal of bilateral dermoid cysts. I was left with a smiling scar just like my mother's Cesarean one. No one hinted that only ten years later I would be racing my mother through menopause! Well, technically its premature ovarian failure, but the hot flashes sure are the same! But while she gets to gracefully age, I have to figure out how to fit my twenty-something dreams into my new reality. This is blog is my space to less than gracefully start that journey. UPDATE: I post now over at circlesbecomeme.wordpress.com Email: Smiling.scar at gmail
