Hey, so, yeah...it's been a while. When last I blogged a little over a month ago we had just met with Dr. Braverman to hatch our master plan. Then, lots of things happened:
We ran away for Thanksgiving as tradition dictates (we've done it every year except 1 since we've been together) to Niagara & Toronto.
Then early this month Vid's mom took a bad turn & ended up in a coma for 4 days which she somehow managed to come out of. Seriously. So he's trying to figure out a way to get over there sometime next month for another visit.
My job has reached the point of intolerability. I seriously cry when I wake up in the morning several times a week. My therapist actually suggested I quit if it were financially possible. Yeah, no. But I am sending out resumes into the ether, hoping to land something less stressful with increased pay. Should be easy in this economy, right? LOL!
And my niece came home last week after 3 months & 3 days in the NICU, with a mic-key button, which is wonderful news but also a challenge obviously. It remains to be seen what kind of delays, if any, she will have as a result of her premature, traumatic birth.
Then Christmas was yesterday. It was pretty chill actually. So. Much. Food.
So yeah, lots of things.
Today we did immunology bloodwork. Thankfully, the company Dr. B uses is actually headquartered nearer to us in Boston so we were able to do it at their main office & therefore didn't have to drive 3 hours to NY. Yay! We did what they call the "Fertil panel" (no "e"; fancy!) & should get results in 4-6 weeks. I had 12 big vials & 16 little vials taken, while Vid had 1 big & 4 little taken. Guess which one of us closed their eyes & sweat like a pig for the duration of the bloodwork while their spouse kept rubbing their back so they wouldn't pass out?
Yeah.
