Menopause Relief??

Here it is, my serving of tofu! Doctor Pop recommended some soy, so I made hot & sour soup. Great choice when your having hot flashes? maybe not, but it's good and it has soy tofu in it. It can't hurt!
We followed Dr. Pop, as patients, to London when she moved as she is such a good doctor. She is the way all doctors used to be. She is very thorough and takes the time to listen when you go to see her. She remembers you and your family and is genuinely concerned. They don't make many like that any more, which is why she is worth the drive to London!
Back to my menopause moments.....At this point I will try anything to get my hot flashes under control before Fred comes home! Although, stress does make them worse, so maybe when "Fabulous Fred" comes home I will be so happy that they will just stop completely!! Well, a person can dream, can't they! I just can't wait until we are coming home from say, a football game, and we see Freds little face in the front window waiting for us, just like Barney used to do. It just warms your heart!! All I know is while we wait until Fred is old enough to come home he couldn't be in better hands than Becki at autumnblazebassets.webs.com/ she really takes good care of them.
