Well I said I would try and post more and here its been over a week since my last post. Oops. The time has flown by! I've got lots to talk about so bear with me!
I had my first real outing with my little buddy from CFS yesterday. She's 9 and a total sweetie. For this blog, I'll call her Little M; I'm sure I'll be doing a lot more blogging about her. I was so impressed by her. Despite her being from such a difficult background she is so polite and well-behaved. We went bowling then went for hot chocolate and just talked for a bit. One thing that really got me was her telling me about one of her older sisters who already has 4 kids and is only 21. She got pregnant again recently and decided to get an abortion because she doesn't want any more kids. And Little M knew all about it. What a crazy world that a 9 year old knows all about abortions. And don't even get me started on how that makes me feel to hear about someone just throwing that baby away. OK, I'll step off my soapbox now. ;-) I'm really happy that I decided to do the volunteering. I know it's early days still but I drove home with a huge smile on my face.
I'm still waiting on my referral to the Fertility clinic. I sent an email to the Resident that I've seen the last couple of times to see if it was sent in. I'm just so tired of waiting! And despite knowing that nothing will happen without some help, when I got up the other morning I threw up which got me on the "maybe, what if?" train, though I'm sure it really was nothing. I haven't felt sick since then, so it was probably just something I ate. I'm at CD28 so I'm sure any day now AF will be coming. And hopefully with a bit less pain than the last couple of months.
And speaking of pain....I've been having quite a few Fibro flare-ups lately. Winter seems to be the worst time for me. So frustrating, I thought I was doing so well. I'm thinking about going on some meds for it, something that I've been trying to avoid. For those of you dealing with Fibro, are there any meds that you've been able to take while TTC?
I'm still kind of in limbo with the job thing. I am hoping to start a couple of those courses for March 1st. I've checked out a few jobs but most need me to have either education or experience. Soo, I have to do something if I want to make some changes!
We have our nieces coming to stay with us this weekend which I'm totally excited about. It's always nice to spend time with people that think you're totally awesome no matter what you do!
Your CFS sounds like it should be an amazing experience. And I often rant (as a teacher of teenagers) about a lack of innocence in their worlds.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fab time with your nieces.
What a great experience. Enjoy your time with your nieces!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome that your volunteering. I'm sure M is very lucky to have you. I hope you hear back from the resident and feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great young lady.
ReplyDeleteAs for the fibro meds, not many are ok for pregnancy. Flexeril is but none of the others I take or have taken are.
What a sweet girl that you described. Isn't it sad though the things that can come out of their mouths and that these things, to them, are their version of "normal"? I'm glad that you started getting to know each other.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I can't be much help on the Fibro front. Battynurse mentioned Flexeril, which I've taken for back pain but it completely knocks me out.
