Make us smile!!! Tell us a funny anecdote that happened to you. Sometimes laughing at yourself can be the best solution to get out of uncomfortable situations! 😆

Okay, ladies, let's dive into the fun world, now I told someone this story this evening and the person just couldn't help but laugh at my silliness, and truth be told, whenever I remember what I did and my reactions, I laugh at myself. I remember talking about not feeling too well in my last post and that I had to go to the hospital for that, now I will be giving us the full gist about what really happened.

Just last month, May 24th precisely, now when I became conscious about the age I was clocking, it felt funny because I do not look that age, in short I would soon be climbing the third floor and during that period, I started seeing unusual changes around my body and started feeling some way that I have never felt before.

One evening while I was trying to grasp my head around what was happening to me, I decided to use my phone to Google at least it would give me a better understanding of what was happening to me, so while I checked the causes of what was happening to me, it was highlighted that it could be as a result of "Hormonal changes, climate and menopause."

I understood the other two very well and would have perhaps continued minding my business and just adjusted to these changes in my body and there wouldn't be any cause for alarm but when I saw the last word "Menopause", I shrieked and immediately went to my phone contact and dialed the number of my nurse to inform her I was coming to her hospital to carry out some test on my body.

That same day, I dressed up and rushed out of the house, and before she could say JACK I was already at the hospital, she was also surprised because she knew the kind of person I am. So I told her the signs and she decided to carry out some tests even though she said it could be as a result of hormonal changes but I was not having it.

When she was done with the test, and the result was out, she said was good even though she still had to prescribe some antibiotics for me, but not until I was reassured that it was just a hormone thingy that I finally release the breath I was holding and told her the reason for my urgency.

She laughed until she was crying because she could not believe that just the sight of menopause I could be so scared. Well, I told her it was because I had heard that menopause can start early for some ladies, so I wanted to be sure I was on the safe side, to avoid pressure and desperation setting in when it is not supposed to set in and when I am not ready for such things.

My nurse had a good laugh that I felt embarrassed and just today, I decided to tell a close friend of mine, when I was done, his mouth was left ajar and he immediately started laughing uncontrollably till I begged him to stop.

Now, that is one of the funniest things that has happened to me. Thank you for reading!!!
