So I have my post lap appointment with the RE tomorrow morning. I am already practicing my cheerleader presentation for him: ‘Be Aggressive! Be Be Aggressive!” I want it all: the pills, the ultrasound, the trigger shot. Gimme Gimme. I am wildly, out of control drunk with optimism and certainty. Yes I am aware that [...]
Ok. Now that Halloween is long past & Thanksgiving is officially over you can play some Holiday music. But not too much. & not all at once. You know, maybe ONE holiday song every other hour. Depending on the song. But if you must know I will think you crass for doing so. In my [...]
Good Morning. This is the first day since THE day that I have felt normal. It will be the day that I wean myself off of groovy pain medication. It will be the day that I eat something more substantial than yogurt or broth. It will be the day that I catch up on all [...]
I am all medicated & feeling no pain at the moment so this will be brief. Everything went great. The R.E. did a lap/hsg combo. Both tubes are clear & all essential female parts are good. He can’t explain why the original HSG was blocked. But it ain’t no more. woo hoo! Headline is: I [...]

Yesterday I got a thick envelope from my RE’s office detailing specific before, during & after information regarding the upcoming laparoscopy. I tell you it freaked me out! Whoever wrote the instructions was certainly trying to be amusing & clever, cracking little jokes here & there. But when it comes to surgery instructions I prefer [...]
There was just a quick, “how’ve you been?” before Dr. W went all Hardball on me. W: So how sexually active are you? Me: Negative 24 W: huh? Me: It’s been two years since I last…um…did it. W: OK. (he makes a note) Me: Why? Do you know anybody for me? W: huh? No I [...]
It feels like I am counting down to everything: 2.5 months & it’s 2006 2 months & then I am 30 (!) 1 month & I start cooking massive Thanksgiving feast 1.5 weeks until I meet with new shrink 1 week until I can read the new Astrology Zone horoscope 1 day until I meet [...]
