What's that they say...patience is a virtue??

Well, the cycle has effectively been cancelled and we have been bumped to August. The doctors feel that I need 4 weeks to recover from teh surgery. They are particularly concerned about the possibility of hyperstimulation and if a large volume of fluid enters my abdomen before my internal stitches are healed it could rupture. I know no one wants that but here we are back to the waiting game. This gives Andrea time to treat her ear infection as well.

So currently I am taking a shot of Lupron at night (for only two more nights), an antibiotic twice per day, a birth control pill, a multivitamin, and Lortab for pain (love that stuff!). I think my body doesn't know whether it's coming or going! I just keep telling myself it's all in good time.

Andrea and I talked about how erie it is that we are both so healthy and we both had incidents that ook us to the doctor for the first time in years this month. We suppose someone is trying to tell us something...so we would be remiss not to listen.

Rest and recovery are the game at the moment and then we can gear up for an August cycle. With all that has transpired and gone on I'm no less excited about cycling and if anything more so.

Yes, I do believe that this journey is teaching us some unexpected life lessons...but isn't that the best way to learn and develop yourself? I think so!

You have such a positive outlook. :) I am glad you are home now and hope you are feeling better and able to get back to most of your normal activities. August will be here before you know it!

Aww, sorry you had to push the timing back. I hope you both heal quickly! Just keep plugging along and it'll be time before you know it!
