Thanks for all the get well wishes! I am feeling much better, but it's still not gone completely--I have had to be very proactive with my doctor to let her know that I am still having symptoms of the crud, so I will hopefully get more medicine this weekend to knock it out completely! It doesn't help that I have had a very busy work week that has kept me on the go, so I had to go from the couch right into hectic mode again, which probably doesn't help. We have been having puuuurfect weather to be outside walking (which I love) but I have not been able to take advantage of it due to my hyper-active nose and persistent cough! I want to be at least 5 lbs lighter by the time we take our big vacation to Key W.est and Dis.ney in June--we literally get back the week before we hop aboard the I.VF train...I think that will be perfect though--it will keep our minds and bodies rested (due to the lovely margaritaaaaas and key lime pie--yum!)
I am also hoping to be able to chop off my hair around that time. I have been growing it out for about a year and 1/2 for Pante.ne Pro-V's Beau.tiful Len.gths --and I'd love to have a cute hair cut for the beach! I still get nervous about it though--it will be a drastic change! I will hopefully be able to cut off at least 10 inches! Yikes! I need to start looking for short hairstyles that I like so I know what to tell the woman who cuts it off! I want it to at least be long enough to tuck behind my ears--I am a low maintenance gal when it comes to hair!
Not too much to update on the I.VF train ride...we are brainstorming about all the funds we will need--thank you to all who have given us ideas about meds--that helps a lot! It is just so frustrating that our insurance doesn't cover any of the procedure part--I just can't grasp how these multi-million dollar companies don't view infer.tility treatments as something that deserves FULL coverage. Someday....
BUT we do have the chance to attend a free I.VF seminar that my doctor is hosting for the public in our area, and they are giving away $3K worth of meds!!! WHOO HOO--and it's limited seating, so we should have at least a good chance of winning. They are also giving away a dinner for 2, and one other prize that I can't remember right now...but it's next month right before my birthday-so what a great present that would be - free meds!
Have a wonderful weekend!
wow, hun fun will a vacation to Fl be ;) I also am growing my hair out. I have not had a hair cut for a yr -growing it out for locks if love .. but i may look into your cause. I can't wait for a short new haircut also..
ReplyDeleteand no that video is not me- but reminded me and my husband ( then boyfriend) of the stuff we used to do in college on roadtrips and college breaks
Holiday to Florida sounds fab. I'm hoping for a trip to Italy for my cousin's wedding just before our next cycle. Always good to rest before hopping on the train!
ReplyDeleteTo answer your comment - I love my job! I was a lawyer who had a "life's too short moment" and trained as a chef. Now I write about food, teach cooking and do some private catering. It's like being on holiday every day!
Ooh, I love margaritas! It sounds like you've got a lot of great things going on to keep your mind off the upcoming cycle.
ReplyDeleteI donated my hair to Locks for Love when I turned 30 and now I am doing it again. I LOVE the short do, esp. after dealing with an extra foot+ of hair for so long!! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteDo you know what meds you will need? I have some unopened boxes from my last cycle that I would be willing to send you if they are what you are looking for. Let me know.
ReplyDeleteGood luck at Winning fertility shwag
ReplyDeleteThat margarita looks so good! I think I'm getting myself a drink tonight. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm planning a make-over myself!
Hoping you have a great weekend, great haircut, great vacation, a great entry into IVF!
ReplyDeleteCan we each give you a favourite character or ride at Disney World and you'll take a picture at each one for us like Serenity? It will be like we get to go on a vacation too :-)
ReplyDeleteI get lazy with my hair too. I let it grow for a while, then cut off inches and inches, until the next 6-12 months, when I decide it needs a trim again. Shorter hair, however, is definitely best for the beach!
ReplyDeleteHope you win the free meds!
Good luck with the IVF meds giveaway! that would be great to win. Every little bit will count!
ReplyDeleteHope you have fun on your vaca! I might be going with the hubby to Tampa at the beginning of June. :)
ReplyDeleteAre you going to share your pics of your new do? I like to mess wth mine ALL the time, I think it's b/c I'm a hairdresser's daughter. Like inconceivable said, I think I am going to grow out my hair for locks of love.
Anywho. (hugs and thoughts and prayers are with you)
