Girl 'roids work their magic?

[sistawendy]

I was making spaghetti for m'boy (which he chose in favor of going out!) the night before last when the inevitable, given that I've been on estradiol for seven years, finally happened: I couldn't open the jar of spaghetti sauce.* Luckily for me, thanks to the... coziness of my lake place, the cabinet with the vise** in it is just outside the kitchen. Problem solved.

What I find remarkable is that it took this long. I was beginning to wonder if it would ever happen.



*Hey, I added a pound of ground beef, chopped bell pepper, chopped fresh basil, and minced fresh garlic. It wasn't a totally pre-packaged meal.
**It used to live in the garage back in the bad old days when I had one. These days I use it for circumflatulation.

Hello! I thought it has to do with hand size.

Muscle mass loss from estradiol is definitely a thing. I haven't noticed it much in the past, possibly because a) I'm old enough that the E has been slow in acting, or b) my testosterone levels never were that high to begin with, which Dr. Leather Bear told me.

I have a very weak grip and this thing changed my life

Well, my vise may be a little cumbersome, but it works OK. Who knows? Maybe I'll be able to open the next jar.
