Good idea! Is there a senior center in the area? They will often have activities even as mild as men's coffee time where isolated folks can meet others and get some talk time.

I knew someone who had identical twin boys when she was in her 50's. They were little terrors but cute as a button LOL.

Those last years with TOM stink. I had a break of almost a year then a restart too, but then it stopped again shortly after and it was sayonara. I actually knew it was done that time before the year was up because I had other changes like some extra hair growth on my face where I never had it previously.

Grief is so individual. It is why parents who lose a child very frequently break up afterwards. Very hard to be a couple when you are grieving in your own way.

That restaurant sounds like a must try!

You are lucky that the bruising is minimal. I did everything they said to do but still had a fair amount of bruising. I just looked at my old pictures. It took about 2 weeks for the swelling to be at a point that I didn't look totally weird (though it was still there a bit). It was a full month before the bruising was reduced enough that heavy duty makeup wasn't necessary. Probably 6 weeks before all signs were pretty much gone.

Did you post the dress on TT? I can't see it if you did. Curious minds...

I agree with DD - I usually stop them because my belly gets so uncomfortable.

Talk about adding insult to injury! I had gone without a period for at least six months maybe more and had been very irregular for years! Shortly after I started dating DH I suddenly became quite regular! I guess new love awakened something! We hadn't been using protection because I didn't think getting pregnant was even a remote possibility. Can you imagine having a baby in your early 50's? Yikes!
