Amazingly I am seeing him on Wednesday & u/s on Monday (every week works for me!). They are so excited & will be watching me like a hawk. His nurse asked me if I was still working.

Mon, 22 Dec 2008 04:01:12 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/116570/journal/1425129 So, after 3 days on bed rest I am ready to get up & party, but I am still taking it easy. I was going to go to my work Christmas party tonight but I am not feeling much up to it. I want to just take it easy.  I had a couple waves of nausea this AM, but it is probably just in my head...way t... Mon, 15 Dec 2008 17:20:54 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/116570/journal/1420643 First, I want to send the most heartfelt thank you to each of my friends here on DS. Your unwavering support is priceless to me & I could never express enough to you my gratitude for everything you have done & been to me this last year.

The last few days haven't been easy. Learning about my MedOnc leaving really cuts to the heart...it still makes me tear up. But, then again, right now EVERYTHING makes me tear up! I think that my... Mon, 08 Dec 2008 15:10:10 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/116570/journal/1413008 Ok, many of you may not understand how I could be so upset by this, but I just found out that my oncologist/transplant doctor is leaving my hospital & moving to a new transplant unit in Oregon. I am simply devastated!!! Let me explain the reason for the despair I feel right now...  Whe... Fri, 05 Dec 2008 19:14:34 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/116570/journal/1409906 Not really sure what I want to write. I am just kind of feeling blah. I am tired & sort of overwhelmed. You would think that having been thru all of these hormones & IVF 3 times before I would be used to it. Oh well... Tomorrow is my Uncle Mike's funeral. It is going to be a busy da... Wed, 03 Dec 2008 13:08:41 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/116570/journal/1403769 So, I hope you all had a splendid Thanksgiving. I had to work of course, but I was lucky enough to get to come home early at 7PM. I had to drive about an hour home & of course missed dinner with my hubby & his family (nearly 2hrs away) and my family had already headed to their own homes... Fri, 28 Nov 2008 14:50:18 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/116570/journal/1398843 Maybe it is the sudden loss of hormones, yet again (restart them tomorrow!). Maybe it is the upcoming FET & all the stress that goes with it. Maybe it is my job, or my dad's recent health scare, the recent death of my uncle, the holidays, the three miscarriages in the last year...I can go on... Mon, 24 Nov 2008 15:19:18 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/116570/journal/1392354 I got my car back & all is well once again!!!! It only cost $50 thanks to my hubby's wonderful connections....and it looks like it is brand new again!!!! AF is really hitting me hard this week. I have never been so bloated, had more cramps, or bled as heavily as this (except when I had ... Wed, 19 Nov 2008 16:04:35 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/116570/journal/1385487 ...God I hope not!!!! UGHHH!!!!!! So, not only did I lose my uncle this week (I am ok with it ~ I know he is in a much better place now) but then I got into a minor accident last night when leaving work. Ouch...my poor new car. I am ok, no worries there, but my car has a booboo!!! The car parke... Fri, 14 Nov 2008 17:19:26 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/116570/journal/1382149 I got word that early this morning my uncle passed away. Yesterday morning they decided to turn off his ventilator, stop the tube feedings, and let God's hands take my uncle in his time. Nearly 24 hours later he slipped away. My cousin said he was very peaceful, in no pain, and looked like he wa... Wed, 12 Nov 2008 15:01:40 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/116570/journal/1381402 I started Provera on the 9th & ever since I have had a headache. Today is the worse...I am sure it didn't help that I clocked my head on the door of my truck....stupid & klutsy! I went shopping with my mom today. We had fun. Got a few Christmas gifts out of the way for some friends,... Wed, 12 Nov 2008 01:46:48 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/116570/journal/1375208 I woke this morning with a call from one of my dear friends. Her son's lab was hit by a car last night...they left the 6mth old puppy for dead. Her 12 year old son is going to be devastated when he finds out after school. I am so saddened by this. My uncle remains in ICU in Indianapolis. It...

I went to the Oakland with my mom on Halloween. We rode the train (2hr trip 1 way) there, went shopping, had an amazing lunch at a seafood restaurant that sits on the pier overlooking the San Francisco Bay....it was beautiful, then ... Mon, 03 Nov 2008 01:17:30 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/116570/journal/1359909 So, the interview went ok. I am pretty much assured the job, but not right now. The rationale is that we are supposed to have 4 assistant nurse managers. One for our bone marrow transplant unit & then one for each shift on the oncology floor (days, PMs, Nights). Our BMT ANM is brand new & kn... Mon, 27 Oct 2008 15:43:17 +0100
