To HRT or not to HRT, that is the question

Gentlemen, you may leave the room, lest you get uncomfortable.

I cracked up today. DB, 6 years my senior, asked about night sweats: but don’t you have to get up anyway to pee? My retort: there I am sitting on the pot, covered in clammy sweat, and I don’t even know which woke me up!

Maybe it’s the curse of the hips. Some study correlated lower-body fat to hot flash tendency. My mother and sister claim they didn’t go through this, but then I’m the pear in the family.
