As I sit here after having just gotten up about an hour ago. I'm thinking back at how nice things have been for me so far.
I've been loving the better focus I have had. I notice it every time I sit at my keyboard and write something. Whether it's a writing project, or a blog entry, or even a response to or a forum post. I notice how much more I can do than ever before and my fingers seem to fly across these keys with better accuracy.
It's been almost a Month and half, when I wake up to nipple pain for the first time this morning. It's not intense, more of an obvious discomfort really. But, it is very much there.
I didn't notice it at first. My dog was next to my bed looking up at his Mamma begging for some attention and excitedly waiting for me to take him out for his morning constitutional.
I pat the bed beside me so I could give him some morning cuddles and lovens. He has been all about the nuzzling lately and I have been loving it.
When we do this in the morning, he likes to lean his head into me.
This time, he leaned right into my chest. Normally I'm fine with this. Normally it feels nice in a sweet kind of way.
This morning, however.
"ouch.
Did I bruise myself in my sleep?
That felt like a bruise."
I sleep curled up tightly sometimes in my sleep. I could have done it with my hand when I jerked in my sleep.
Then I realized, "Hey, I've been on hormones for almost a Month and a half. That bruise was centered on my right nipple.
I wonder something."
I then gingerly reached for my left nipple with my open hand to feel what was going on.
"ouch."
That felt just like the bruise on my right nipple.
Now, I am a firm believer in coincidence and synchronicity. But the odds of bruising both nipples in my sleep are way out there.
SO, welcome to the wonderful world of Transition.
Keep your hands inside the ride at all times and enjoy the ride.
Weeeeeeee!
