What I've been up to

Okay, so basically, I've been home (which means at my mommy's) for the last 2 days. I spent most of yesterday in bed besides a trip to get water ice/ice cream and pick up my little sis from Arts & Crafts. I did this egg donation thing about a year ago with the University of Penn Hospital and got a call a few months ago to see if I wanted to do it again. I did. It involves a few weeks of self injections every day of fertility drugs, as well as daily blood draws and ultrasounds (and not the cute and cuddly kind with babies). So yesterday I had my retrieval, when they finally go in and take out the eggs that have been growing. It's an outpatient procedure but the aftermath of it still kinda sucks. And on top of it I got a botched IV that kinda jacked my hand up lol.

So yeah, in case anyone was wondering where I've been, that's where. :)

I think I mentioned it last year when you mentioned doing it, but I think thats a very awesome and selfless thing you are doing. I can imagine how much it takes out of you after its done though. Outpatient or not, that sort of thing sucks.

Never had eggs extracted but I have had an outpatient operation done on me that involves the same area and yeah. (Not going to mention what just incase there are any super religious types on the boards - No offence if there are. I just don't want to hear how i'm going to hell. THough I guess now I did kind of round about reveal what it was.)

And what exactly do you plan to do with them? :-/

Anywaaaay... I'm just glad this time went somewhat easier than last time. I'll never forget the night I was on AIM with you, trying to pep talk you through the first self-injection. Poor thing. But you kick ass. :-D

Just take it easy, missy!!
