So Far, So Good

If you live east of the Mississippi River, you are more than likely getting or have been hit by a snow storm. But the Galloways don't let a little snow get in our way!

Scott had a follow-up appointment with his ankle surgeon. I was kind of nervous about it. Scott was told after his surgery to take it easy and stay off his feet while at work. Well Scott hasn't been following doctor's orders. Surprisingly, the doctor said that he would see Scott in three months AND that he can start wearing his walking boot less or not wear it at all if it feels okay.

After the appointment, I drove to Scott's work to swap cars. My little speedster doesn't have 4 wheel drive and his Jeep does. I then went to my RE appointment, which was just up the road by the hospital. You would think that at 9:15, on a workday, the roads would be plowed and salted. No such luck! In fact, the roads by the hospital were in really poor shape.

I had to have a baseline ultrasound to check my reproductive organs. All systems go! No cysts here; everything looked perfectly. Actually, you could see several follicles getting ready to start developing. My doctor gave me a script for Letrazole again and called in my script for HCG. Before I can take my meds, I had to get a blood test to make sure I am not pregnant.

Last month there was a huge fiasco getting my prescription filled at my local pharmacy. I didn't want to go through that again, so I took it to a neighboring town's pharmacy. They filed no questions asked. Scott and I are not going to be having any fertility procedures this month. He is going to be unavailable the weekend I would be having it. So I am going to use the meds, have a mid-cycle ultrasound to check follicle growth, and then do the deed on certain days. I know that is probably TMI, but I think we are beyond that boundary by now.

So now I am home relaxing and trying to get my cramps to go away without the use of pain meds. Debating on whether to go out and shovel now or wait until later. Either way it is going to need to be shoveled more than once.

Two pieces of good news in one day? I will GLADLY take it! Have a blessed day!
