Hormones! Sea Cucumbers! Brain tumors... :(

They're totally back. I mean, it's interesting, because though they're back and starting to function again, I'm not suffering much pain or discomfort. Perhaps my body is grateful to regain it's youthful-ish-ness after the plug was pulled from ye olde estrogen via Tamoxigarbage. 

Though I did just make a cup of golden milk. A bit bloated, and I'm hoping that will bring it down a bit. Overall, not bad at all. Breathing. Had a good workout. Not as good as I would have liked, but considering the state of estrogen, I did just fine. 

My friend's wife had a brain tumor removed a few months back, and today she suffered a massive seizure most likely due to the brain tumor surgery she recently had. She's still unconscious.

Meanwhile, in the disgusting category, I've been taking SEA CUCUMBER!

Luckily, I have not been able to find it in any restaurants (that's a lie, I did find a Korean place that had it on the menu), and I even looked in Chinatown to see if I could buy it to cook. WHEW. No luck. So I found this. I can't lie - I don't know if it's the placebo effect, or the tamoxifen leaving the building, or whatever, but these slimy disgusting things have been making me feel better. And they are reportedly good for muscle aches, joints, energy, blahblahblah. I have felt markedly better since a few days into these, and didn't actually expect it. So, these absolutely horrific looking creatures just may save me!

We were talking about what to do for Mother's Day dinner. Maybe I'll ask the hubs if we can go to the Korean place so I can try it. Then again, perhaps I'll stick to what I like and save that adventure for a day filled with self-loathing and a need to punish myself. BLECH! Did I mention, I hate slimy things like worms and slugs and crap. Though, if you put a nice plate of escargot in butter, (in a French vibe, or black bean sauce in an Asian hang), somehow I find that totally acceptable and will go to town. Hm. Maybe I *would* be ok with these things.

Excuse me while I go puke.
