So today I go into menopause. I think my dr. would say..."it isn't menopause we are just lowering your estrogen to the level of menopause"...and I would say..."So what is the difference????" The injection was given in my left hip. So far nothing that I can feel...which is good. Hope that it stays that way for the next 6 months. The injection is time release shot for 3 months and then I have another one September 14th. Doesn't seem like that is 3 months from now but I guess it is 12 weeks from today.
The doctor also did a bone density test today and my bone density is very good. Which is good because one of the side effects of lupron is lowering of bone density, but since mine is very good to begin with lowering it should not be too drastic.
I came home and took a nap. The stress of starting this whole process is tiring. When I woke up Nathan and I went for a walk with the dogs. I haven't been able to do much since the surgery, but I felt like I wanted to get out and walk and I am glad that i did. We walked the dogs slowly but surely down to the park and around the walking track and let them get in the river to cool off. We ended up walking for 1.5 hours, which may be a little much. I am hoping it will help me sleep better and it is the first step, even though a baby step, to training for a marathon. I am starting my training on July 22 which is 6 weeks after my surgery...I am actually looking forward to it.
