UPDATE to the update. ACK!!

The nice update from yesterday is below.

My RE called me this morning. Looks like I'm the first surgery of the day on the 30th. Yay. That's not update-worthy though. She called because she wants me to be taking injectable blood meds for six total days for the surgery because of my Factor V. I have to give them to myself and I'm learning how on the 28th. I knew this would be coming when I get my BFP again, but WHOA! I know it's what I have to do, but it's making me uneasy. I'm also confused, since when I had my last D&E (wow that sounds like I'm a regular) they said the Factor V didn't make them need to do anything differently. Hmm..

I had my pre-op appointment today with my RE. I was initimidated by the large hospital at first but immediately felt better when I saw the enormous Christmas tree in the lobby, all decked out in PSU ornaments and blue and white fun stuff.

Anyway, the results from my 12 vials of blood came back and all was fine. Of course, I still have what was found before (details on the right) but I'm so glad everything else looked good. I still have to get my CD3 drawn, but that was done last December and my numbers were good.

It was nice to get a little good news for once!

  6. PSU ornaments, eh? I am surrounded by orange and white UT crap-ola every day. I could stand to see a little bit "We are......Penn State" every now and then. Is that too much to ask? I get eaten alive whenever I wear my Nittany Lion gear. But, hey, I'm entitled to wear whatever the hell I want, so there!

  8. Ugh! I hate that we have to do extra stuff because of our stupid blood!!! I hope your injections are better than my infusions. Did they tell where you have to inject them (as in which body part)?

    At least it will be good practice for your next BFP, right? :)

  9. Ugh! I'm sorry you'll have to give yourself shots? Do you have any idea how "bad" they are...? Or how "not bad," hopefully?

  10. Kelly,

    So sorry you have to endure the shots, but they will be worth it in the end :) On a happy note, YEA, your blood work was ALL good! That is wonderful!!!

    Get this surgery behind you and you are on your way!

    HUGS and A Speedy Recovery,
    Andrea
