What she said, in truth

See the Divrei Chaim's take on meshane mifnei hashalom in this week's Parsha at: http://divreichaim.blogspot.com/2009/11/truth-whole-truth-and-nothing-but-truth.html and http://divreichaim.blogspot.com/2009/11/truth-whole-truth-and-nothing-but-truth_06.html
When I reviewed the parsha on Shabbos, an understanding of what Sarah said struck me. Then I saw that Hakthav Vehakbala reads it the same way. "Acharey balothi, haytha li edna veadoni zaken" [After I have been worn out , i.e. aged, I had rejuvenation, but my master is old.] According to the Midrash, Sarah pirsa niddah that day, so she say a clear manifestation of her rejuvenation with a return to fertility. But she saw no such sign on her husband. She saw the miracle in her own transormation but was amazed that the same would not be done for her husband.
