Despite being over the moon happy the past few days, I've felt like I'd been thrown under a bus. I think the pain I've experienced this past week has been worse than any post op pain I've had. I didn't get more than an hour or so of sleep at a time for 5 nights. Ack. Did alot of crying and SCREAMING in the middle of the night. Didn't think I could stand it. My neighbors probably heard all the ruckus and thought we were having wild sex!!!
I was awakened at 4am to discover Domino walking around on the nightstand. After scolding her, I glanced at the clock and realized that I'd gotten 5 solid hours of sleep!!!! Woooo hooooooo! Glorious!
Began shot #4 this morning to prevent ovulation prior to retrieval. My poor belly is battered and bruised.
As of yesterday's ultrasound, follicle-wise, I have 2 strong contenders and 2 late bloomers that most likely will not catch up. But what have I said so many times?? IT ONLY TAKES ONE! Retrieval should be on Wednesday if all goes as planned. Vag cam tomorrow morning to confirm.
Are you all ready for Chrimmus?? I'm not! However, the season is definitely on cuz I saw Black Santa the other day. Who is Black Santa? Well, let me tell you....There's a huge house on University Ave that has a gigantic Santa on the porch every year. Must be at least 9 feet tall. Was driving past a couple years ago with HB and my 2 cousins. One of them asked incredulously, "Is that a black Santa???" (Palo Alto is pretty milk toast) I took a look and replied, "Oh no, girl. I think the light just went off in his face." We roared with laughter! Every now and then I come up with a good one ;-) Afterwards, making the light go off in someone's face became a euphemism for jackin' someone up. So, the next time someone pisses you off, tell them you're going to make the light go off in their face!!! If they don't look scared, tell them they should!! Oh, so Black Santa has reappeared, so Chrimmus must be comin'!
Happy to report pain was minimal today (controlled by 2 or 3 Tylenol) compared with the past 5 days. I'm exhausted and hoping to get a full night's sleep tonight. I thought I might make it to the 8:30 yoga class tomorrow, but I'm going to roll outta bed when I'm good and ready. I think I really need the rest. If I happen to wake up and can't get back to sleep, I'll go. Otherwise, I'm going to do what my body dictates.
HB referred to me as his fiancee today and for some reason it just cracked me up! In a giddy way of course. Just unreal. And I can't stop staring at this sparkly thing on my finger.....Which I've worn every day and night even when I was oogly, completely unpresentable and bedridden.
