Brr

Just because it’s an impressive change and you’ve all been following along… I’m back to my chilly self — it was nice being warm for a little while tho…

Well maybe I am?

We finally had decided over the summer to try to not try. Of course that is terribly hard to not notice now. We were going to, at my urging, wait to officially try next summer. As in try/try. Really just out of convenience because if I got knocked up in oh, say June, then I’d [...]

33

Day 33. Still waiting on that period. WTF? …Just putting it out there… (And before you ask, I dipped my pee at work and it still says negative) …I thought I was a little nervous before!

Internets…

I miss thee…
Approximately the same time as student’s arrival (We’ll call him Stu from now on shall we?) Hubbin decided he was fed up with Comcast raising our bill every month so he decided we’d get dish network.
So now we have dish network.
I haven’t noticed a difference yet really, but that could be because our [...]

In passing conversation

Do you ever have a conversation with someone when you’re going through something that may or may not contain specific details, or even necessarily be about what’s happening that really changes your perspective?
When I was in highschool I had a male best friend. He was amazing, I had never in my life felt so comfortable [...]

No more safety net

Today I’m taking my last birth control pill of the summer.
We still haven’t come to a definitive decision regarding a baby, I’m a lot more wishy washy about the decision then I thought I would be. But that’s not the topic of this post, so back to birth control pills for now:
I promised long ago [...]

Therapeutic Communication

So I’ll admit I’m not the best with the therapeutic communication business. I’m more of the type of person that would say “oh? You see little green men in the corner? You’re right. And the little green men say it’s time for you to take your pill and go to bed”….
(PS for those of you [...]

and Here I Sitz on my Bath

Whooooopsies. I’ve taken a bit of a break haven’t I?
Not to worry, I’m doing pretty well for 1 week post op I’d say. Still having some minor pain and discomfort but nothing taking a break and sitting to watch some TV for a while doesn’t cure. Today is the first day I have not taken [...]

Hey that went better than I thought…

So today is post-op day 2? 3? for myself. I don’t know, it was Thursday but Thursday was all sort of a blur, so we’ll go with 2.
They took me up to pre-op, told me to strip and put on a gown and booties I begged the nurse to let me keep my socks on [...]

Is this appropriate?

So I just got off the phone with whoever calls patients the day before surgery with instructions. I don’t know if nurses typically make those phone calls but I think someone needs to instruct this woman on a liiiiiittle bit of phone/patient ettiquiette.
She called to give me important information such as where to park and [...]
