Where did my hormones go!?!

I visited the doctor for the results of a very scary appointment to the hospital.
Where I had an MRI scan, a CT scan, a duplex scan, blood tests and metering of my blood pressure! (which was considered high, 140/95)
I related the experience to anyone who would ask me as a big M.O.T., as in cars; the test to see if a car is equipped to drive the road efficiently, without endangering its owner or others.
Well, what can I say, apart from the fact I felt basically as an old motor, no take that back , as a vintage motor! That's better, in need of premium care!

So there I was looking by best, freshly colored hair, plucked and dyed eyebrows, well made up, sitting next to my husband as we awaited to be call in to see the doctor.
Considering my restless night the night before, I felt at that moment pretty good.

Mevrouw Krijger?
I stood up and entered the doctor’s room.

She was a calm, yet rigged woman of about early 40’s.
She began by asking me to relate to her, my condition of the 7th of April, when this all started.

Now, I have some difficulty to ever recall anything accurately, especially on the spur of the moment. So there I was looking fine but sounding like a confused adolescent lost for words. I kept looking to my husband hoping he would spring to my aid, which he did a few times.
Bless him.
Anyway several moments later she preformed some physical tests of her own on me; like I had to stretch my hands out, closed your eyes, touch my nose with my right then left finger etc etc, all of which would determine how my brain was relating to commands.
Great ...so I was feeling physically fit that day………..

For a moment I thought she looked as though I was wasting her time!

Back in her office she continued to say that the test has shown several things that had caused questioning and she would like to continue the tests further.
WHAT KIND OF TESTS!! My mind was screaming.

‘Do you sport a lot?’ she asked
“Not really” I replied
“It’s just that it appears you have a big heart”
WHAT does that mean? Big heart, sure I am generous, willing and always ready to help but I knew that was not the context she was using.

“I would like for your to see a cardiologist, because there is also the question about a murmur we heard in your heart.”
This is NOT sounding good.
Before I could react she turned her computer towards me, so I could see what was displayed.

I quickly rustled to find my glasses.

“This is your brain, everything looks fine, no tumor, no TIA, although a TIA only shows when it is actually happening so we are going to give you another MRI.”
I'm looking at the grey mass in the shape of a horizontally sliced brain. I saw nothing except for a small and darker grey in the middle of the brain.
“And here” she continues "we noticed where your hormones should be, that it is empty.”
EMPTY!!! EMPTY!!! NO HORMONES WHERE HORMONES SHOULD BE!!!

Hello!! I could have told her that!! I have been saying that for months! But still my family doctor insists that my condition is not hormonal.
So like I am able to loose my keys, my phone or everything else that I loose, I HAD LOST MY HORMONES!!!

‘Oh really?” I said conposing myself “I thought I needed a test to see if my hormones were imbalanced” imbalanced! huh that's a laugh!
“Oh?” she said “Why is that?”
I was puzzled, if she had just said there were no hormones where hormones should be then why was she asking me WHY IS THAT!!!??

I give up!!

So I guess this motor is not only overheated but it has a malfunctioning valve and is in need of more test!!! GREAT!


Where did the spring go?
written by; Ray davies

Where did the spring go?
Where did the trees go?
Where did the sun go?
Where did the bluebirds fly?
Why did the rainbow turn into shadows?
Why am I cold now?
Why does my skin sag?
Why ain't my back straight?
Why do my feet ache?
Where did my youth go?
Where did my life go?
Remember walking in the rain,And getting soaking wet,
Now I got rheumatic pains,And I really do regret it.
Where did my teeth go?
Where did my muscles go?
Where did my shoulders go?
Where did my chest go?
When you were loving me,You were just using me.
You would employ me,You would destroy me.
Now all I've got are varicose veins.
Where did the spring go?
Where did my hormones go?
Where did my energy go?
Where did my go go?
Where did the pleasure go?
Where did my hair go?
Remember all those sleepless nights,
Making love by candlelight,And every time you took my love,
You were shortening my life.
Where did my teeth go?
Where did my hair go?
Where did my shoulders go?
Where did my chest go?
Where did my hormones go?
Where did my go go?
Where did my energy go?
Where did my skin go?
Where did my muscles go?
Where did my liver go?
Where did my heart go?
Where did my bones go?
