Fat, (over)40 and Female, 2022.

The stories of postmenopausal women are often left untold – what happens when the dryness starts?  I take an uncompromising look at what it looks and feels like.  An autobiographical take on my life in a year, 2022.  The drugs I took, the crap I buy and the operation I endured, all in service of  ‘keeping the show on the road’. Sometimes tongue in cheek,  sometimes not, but always with a healthy dose of cynicism to challenge prejudice.  As a nurse shared with me during  pre-op, for the reason I was there – I was over forty, fat and female.  The odds were stacked against me!
