On to the news of the day.....
Well let's just say that today has been rough. Since my surgery last Friday, I have felt okay, but not great. But by Sunday night, I began to throw up and have not really stopped since. I got so weak today, that I HAD to go to the doctor. I was dry-heaving right in the waiting room in front of all these strangers, I mean HOW EMBARRASSING!!!!
So they started by taking some blood, DID A PREGNANCY TEST (haha), and then decided to give me a liter of saline fluids, along with 2 doses of Zofran to stop the vomiting. Of course, in true Heather fashion, no one could get an IV started!!! Finally on the 4th stick they managed to get it. Right about that time, my sweetness arrived, and sat beside me and held my hand, while we patiently waited for the fluids and meds to do their thing. After about 40 minutes I was turning the corner. The jury is still out on what exactly was the issue. The NP thinks it was an allergic reaction to the Percocet (which I told them I could not take; but that is a whole nother story), the RE thinks it is a virus (but sweetness is not sick). So we do not know what is wrong, but I am feeling 1000% better now, and am at home resting.
And I have to be ready because tomorrow IS THE BIG DAY!!!!! We finally begin injections to lead us down the road to parenthood! I begin injecting 10 units of Lupron for the next 8 days, while finishing the last 5 BCPs. I am so excited I can hardly stand it!!!
As promised yesterday, below is the picture of my own personal pharmacy that has arrived at my house!! Even complete with my very own little sharps container (for you medical folk out there). The small white bags in the front are filled with all different size syringes, to inject all this stuff you see in the boxes.
That is about it for tonight! Thank you for all the prayers as we begin this journey, God is faithful, even when we do not understand, HIS timing is perfect.
Ending tonight with a Scripture:
"Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good."
-1 Peter 2:1-3
