Everything in life can be related to a Friends episode

Tuesday, October 26th, 2010

This is basically just how it went when I went to the hospital for kidney stones. And of course, even though I was in excrutiating pain, I couldn’t stop giggling because I just kept replaying this scene in my head. And I’m pretty sure the nurse thought I was delirious because I was giggling so much, and [...]

38 Weeks: Kidney Stones, but No Kid

Friday, October 22nd, 2010

Seriously? My kidney stones are back. Not as excrutiatingly painful as last time, but STILL! So, I’m “relaxing” as much as I can and drinking TONS of water again.

Doc called today to say my Day-21 blood test results came back, and that it doesn’t look as though I responded very well to the first [...]

Will somebody just bring me a damn Kleenex already?!

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

This week the fertility medication I’m taking (Clomid) is affecting me a *little* more strongly than it did last week. LAST week I was all, “I just started taking my pills but I feek okay besides a few migraines, and I haven’t really been crazy at all!” THIS week, so far, I have cried at [...]
