Beyond Bloat

Let's try to see the humor in this one. Belly Bloat....I've been plagued. How on the earth does a 57 year old woman explain her extended stomach to the world? Honestly, we are talking huge here; approximately the size of a woman into her 7th month of pregnancy. This was hard to hide. My loosest dress made an admirable attempt at concealing the hard round belly... but no go. Honestly, you can't imagine how I felt. The discomfort is one thing but the shame and horror of it all set my whole day off! I ended up going for a CAT scan and a blood test for yeast allergies. Don't laugh, I thought I was dying! Desperate times call for desperate measures......And, the dramatic results????? I'm perfectly fine. All organs are in good working condition. Nothing strange or weird was seen in the images and for all intensive purposes, I'm normal. Now, would someone please tell my stomach!?!
