Working and hot flash city

Since I had my oophorectomy (ovaries removed), my hot flashes are picking up now that I am in full blown menopause. Sweating is no fun, but seems to be helping me realize that that surgery reduced my risk of getting ovarian cancer with the BRCA2+ mutation. I'll take the hot flashes. 

I am dealing with swelling in my legs and arms again, but thankfully no blood clots. The doc is going to start me on another diuretic as I was allergic to ferosamide. 

I have been helping out my sister with her cleaning business. It is great to get a good work out. I can feel my breast muscles complaining, but it actually helps tone up these pecks in prep to left side exchange and reconstruction hopefully in the fall. 

I am gaining energy and hope to keep going.
