I AM HEARTBROKEN FOR THE THIRD TIME!!! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR KIND WORDS, THOUGHTS, SUPPORT, & PRAYERS...I GUESS IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE! I AM LOST! I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW LIFE CAN BE SO CRUEL!!!!! ALL I WANT IS TO BE A MOMMY!!! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING AGAIN!! I AM LOSING MY FAITH. I ALWAYS TRUSTED IN THE LORD, BUT I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE KEEPS DOING THIS TO ME. WHY IS HE LETTING ME...
My mom's house is gone ~ along with about 60 other homes & buisnesses. There is nothing left. I can't even believe it. We watched it burn on the news. I watched my mom's house go up in flames. What do you say to something like this? Thank God she got out. I think we lost my cat but my parents got out. All those memories are gone.....I am in shock.
I am 6 weeks today. I am still feeling sick. I am now averaging once or twice a day getting sick. I do much better if I remain very still for at least an hour after I eat. I wake with DH in the AM around 6ish to get my shot, fall back to sleep about an hour later, wake around 10, shower around noon, nap by 2 (for 3 hours on average), unable to gain the strength to do much. By the time DH ge...
I picked up this habit of rubbing my belly in the morning & talking to it....I found myself doing it again this morning...then I stopped & told myself what is the point? Ughh... My mom came & sat with me yesterday...it helped get my mind off of things, at least for a little while. Then my dad called on his way home from work to check on me...I hate telling my daddy when this happens. H...
I am not sure how many of you are familiar with Facebook, but recently I had several friends tell me to join, so I did. Well, I found a girl, Kristy, that was one of my best friends for many years. Actually the girl I mentioned in my last post (Jeni) and Kristy & I...well, we were the three musketeers in high school. When I got sick...Kristy kind of neglected me. I was in the hospital for 36 ...
I am really starting to go crazy!!! My RE just called & my beta is down from 3167 to 935. It is certainly moving in the right direction, but not as fast as I want it to. She asked if I am ok...I told her no! I just want it to be over! How can you move on when this won't ever seem to end? They (my RE & OB) are concerned about going ahead with a D&C...they think it might be too...
Now that we have chosen a donor I am waiting to find out if she is available. I spoke to the nurse today & she is trying to get a hold of the potential donor. Apparently this girl also donates at another agency in this area so we are not sure if she is even available. If she isn't I will probably be looking into another donor....I am not waiting another six months. If she isn't availa...
Yesterday at work I had one of the saddest patients ever. 25 years old & dying of cancer. She had been having abdominal pain for months, maybe years, but because she is a large girl & did not have good insurance she got the run around. Finally her appendix ruptured & they took her to surgery where they found her abdomen full of cancer....it is everywhere! They closed her up &...
Last Friday was my DH's nonna's b-day (Italian grandma) she called to thank us for the flowers that we sent but we weren't home at the time. My DH called her back about 2hrs later & she had no clue who he was! The look on his face was devastating to me. She has alzheimer's & my DH has never really believed it before. I tried explaining that she is worse as the night goes o...
...sinking, heart wrenching feeling in the pit of my stomach!!!! I am not sure what is wrong & I really hope it isn't a mother's intuition but I just am so scared of losing this baby all of a sudden. I have had a good feeling all along...but today something changed. I can't really explain it. I am just so worried. I was watching TV tonight & just burst into tears....I have been...
