The story so far…this time around
more animals
My cats aren’t like that at all. No.
I think they’re laughing at me from the other room now.
Anyway, for those of you following along from home, here is how my week has been so far. Sunday, I had a blood draw. Again with the four vials of blood, one of them with the pink top. It was really quite the fast visit. (I spent the rest of Sunday cleaning the house. We are making actual progress!) Monday I had an ultrasound appointment. I hoped against hope that it was one of those external ones with the goop. No such luck. Le sigh. Things looked pretty good, so the Nurse Practitioner sent the order for my new drugs (yes, now I’m on Femara. stand by for mood swings.) to the pharmacy across from work. One of the things she ordered is a shot(!) that may be administered when I am in for my next ultrasound on the 20th. It looks like these folks are even more hands on than I thought. You see, that shot is supposed to trigger ovulation. Oh, my.
Monday was a lovely day. It was 70 degrees F in Fremont for heaven’s sake! In January! So, I walked across the street to the pharmacy, picked up my prescriptions, and sauntered on back just in time for my shift to start. I took my first dose and went on with my day. I was inexplicably in a good mood and no-one yelled at me or anything (well..there was that one crazy woman at the end.) And then today…I was lethargic again. Meh. I literally fell asleep after dinner.
Hey, at least my vision is still looking good…as it were. Hopefully things will look better this month, as I really would rather avoid giving myself shots. Yeek.
There you are. An actual update. Don’t anyone go into shock. Why not have some tea, just in case?
You cats may not be like that…but mine sure as heck are….

Thanks for the update! My fingers are perpetually crossed for you…
That’s how one of cats is – if you replace “poke” with “pound.” The other cat is more patient/timid.

Alas…no cats. But, Jake does something similar. I swear he can smell when I wake up on the weekend. As my eyes open and my ears hear the loud snuffling of my 87 pound dog at the bedroom door…followed by whining. Also hard to ignore. Get up and feed me, Lady!
Thanks for the update, Luv. Everything crossed that you don’t have to give yourself shots. Yikes!

Good luck, hope you don’t have to give yourself shots. It’s currently 21, after going up to 22 and then back down to 19.
Today is also the start of a four day weekend. Yay!

Oh, Mke, they totally are like that.
Thanks, Emma. One of the cats is fond of batting my face. Rather like a feline that I’d known before.
Sister Mine, Jordan was very much like that. Mind you, he was actually in the room with me. Eek!
I hope you had a great weekend, Ann, and didn’t freeze.
