Fast and Furious Week

Last week I had my post-op with Dr. L. I got a set of the pictures and surgical report. As soon as I start we will start on meds again. Hopefully this week or next week.

T got a wild hair yesterday and wanted new ink. This pendent is made of a little pocket piece the chaplin at the hosptial gave us after Cooper died. Our friend's parent made them into knecklaces and engraved the back with his name and birthday. Here is T's newest tattoo.

Today we went out to the cemetary. I've been wanting to go out there all week since I started to see patches of bluebonnets on the roadside a week ago. The little bear was made by my mom's friend. She did a great job with it. This was the only blanket I had bought for Cooper. I got the idea from the founder of Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep. She had a little bear made that was symbolic of the child they lost. Whenever they take a family photo, the bear is there.

This coming week is going to be insane. My boss is coming in town with potential customers. I'll be the circus ring master for the week. Also have a Ladies Elk meeting and need to wrap up some sponsors for the PF Walk. Whewww!

It went well

I'm going to make this short and sweet since I'm still on pain meds.

I'm am not a Friday the 13th believer, but this week had me questioning it. When I went Tuesday for my pre-op, they forgot to give me the lab orders. Wendnesday I went back, go the orders and headed to the lab. They had to stick me 3 times to get the blood samples. Then today that had to stick me twice for the IV, because he went through the vein the first time. Then we were running almost an hour behind, so I was crazy starving.

When I came out, I was in major pain. Morphine wasn't touching it, I got two rounds of demerol. WOOT! That stuff is amazing. They let T come back and he told me that it went well. Dr. L was happy with the results on the right side. He wasn't able to do as much as he wanted on the left side (bad side) because my bowels were around it??? He said that we will be able to start TTC quickly and we would do three more rounds of Super Ovulation with IUI before going to IVF.

I'm very tired and very sore. Very similar to how I felt after my c-section. I know the incinsions are small, but I still want to hold myself when I cough.

Ok, that wasn't as short as I planned. I hope it makes sense. I'm going back to the recliner.

It's Surgery Day

My wonderful plan to sleep in, roll out of bed and leave didn't work so well. I was awake by 7:30. I don't have to be at the hospital until 12:15 and I'm trying really hard not to think about food. I think it's worse when you know you can't have any.

I almost broke my office last night. My shelf fell off the wall when I was hooking up my new router. I say office because it would have taken out my flat screen monitor, phone, modem and laser printer. I would have been totally screwed. T hasn't even noticed. HAHAHA.

Expect a gibberish post sometime tonight about the surgery.

I have become that weirdo!

The ones that you see that post pictures of what they got on their shopping trips. I think I did ok today. If I learned how to count and bought 1 more item, I would have saved another $5.

This is everything I got. Spent $30.32 and saved $51.94. Should have been closer to $57 savings, but oh well.

And here is a new picture of the neice. She was helping me shop at CVS on Friday and we couldn't pass up the ears. I figured it was a wash when the coupons I had. And she is showing of her braids. Momma did them.

Margarita Madness

That's my warning, I've already had a big margarita and it's only 7:00.

I saw Dr. L today. Yup started again on Saturday, but I knew anyway. He was so apologetic that it still hasn't worked. He asked me what I wanted to do and I asked what are the options. Since my insurance is covering my meds pretty well, he thought about upping the doses. Then said he would rather go with a Pen to better control the doses. Then he thought about it some more while looking over the past 3 months. What about surgery and ovarian drilling? We all really think my left ovary is stuck to the back of my uterus. And since they are in there, do a little ovarian drilling to help too. The way I explained it to my friend is that my ovaries are covered with cysts and have become candy coated but not that nice. The drilling will help get rid of some of the cysts, give more room for good follies to develop and open things up.

T is mad. He sees it as more time and $ since the Menopur is working. Um... no it isn't, I'm not pregnant. I tried telling him that Dr. L is trying to help up not spend all that $. Again, his patience is long gone.

So Friday I go in for lap and ovarian drilling. Tomorrow I have my pre-op and we'll see how that goes. I just want to get it done and over with. Dr. L has a good point. Why spend all that money and it still doesn't work???
