Devastating news from tuesday's gynecology appointment

It took a few days to process before I could blog about it.

They took my height and said that I am 5'7 1/2.

All this time, like since high school, I've said I was 5'9.

My identity and sense of self are shaken.

I always think of myself as a tall woman.

This changes my height to weight ratio.

I am getting a second opinion.

Luckily, my sister has been in town this week and has provided immeasurable support during this trying time. She is a physician herself and we will run some separate tests this evening.

In the meantime, please light a candle for me.
