I'm still alive.....
It's me - Rose....
It's been a heck of a 4 year period.
I moved south if my home....
Moved in with my eldest son.
After a 2 year battle I finally got approved for my disability....
Had a stroke then another smaller one, fell was injured.
Went thru recovery, caught pneumonia.... Finally got over pneumonia. Went into heart failure- was hospitalized. Had open heart surgery. Am healed- 7 months post op now.....
Still need to repair my mitral valve. In a year or so.
Now I'm dealing with my hormones. I'm 60, a female..... finishing on menopause. Lower estrogen levels snd so. Am having a heck of a time getting estrogen and progesterone, so I've recruited a friend. Very intelligent woman who knows her herbs and mushrooms.....
Anyway, in Oregon in 1991. My youngest son was born. I was married and had 4 other children. My husband paused in conversation with the OB ... when discussing me getting a tubal done.
And so the OB said because my husband hesitated and didn't agree. He obviously wasn't going to give me permission to get the tubal done after our child's birth.
So doc said I had to wait....
I found out that day- a married woman has no control over her body in Oregon!
You must have your husband's permission to get a tubal done or any permanent procedure done!!!
But NOT the husband!
He can get a vasectomy anytime and without any knowledge of the WIFE!
Ain't that the shit!!!
I had to separate from my husband to get the tubal.
And then my child was born on the 30th day of my waiting period- which I didn't know!!!
My OB came into my room the next morning and proceeded to inform me because he was born on my 30th day, he- the Doctor, was going to make me wait 6 months then come back and get it done! From my hospital bed, I reached up and I grabbed him by his coat and stethoscope around his neck and informed him- ONE of us was going to be in surgery in a half hour and I was hoping it was me!!!!!
Needless to say I got my Tubal that morning!
That was in 1991. It's 2026 now and the LAW hasn't changed!!!!
And there are transgender men receiving estrogen and progesterone treatment for sex changes while we women have to fight for it!!!!!!
Again, a man over a woman!!!
