Hormones and Viruses

One week from tomorrow is the big day!  Sometimes thinking about it my heart skips a beat, I am pretty darn nervous.  I'm guessing it is going to be a long week!

I have developed a cold, which is a big bummer because I can't really take much for it.  Because of the Lovenox, I can't take anything with Advil in it, and Tylenol doesn't do much for me.  Bri was sick yesterday and we took a long nap yesterday which is really rare for both of us, so I knew I was run down.  By bedtime I was feeling pretty crappy and I woke up this morning definitely with a bug.  Thankfully today is Sunday and I didn't have to go to work.  I watched the 10th anniversary 9/11 coverage this morning, went and met my parents for some Pho for lunch, then watched a movie and football.  Now if only I can start feeling better for the next 5 days of work. 

I have also been very emotional!  The slightest thing will make me tear up.  Friday night I saw The Help with my old roommate, and I was bawling by the end of the movie.  If you are taking hormones, DO NOT watch that movie!!  I need to stick with only comedies for the next 30 days! 

The amount of support and love I have gotten through this process is pretty incredible.  A big shout out to Kara and Sommer who have been dutiful blog followers and will always email or text me to give their love and support, especially on those days they can tell I need a little boost.  Everyone has been so kind, and even though I don't wish this on anyone, it has been nice to have some really great friends and family come out of the woodwork and it has made us closer. I'm lucky to have you all in my life!

Tomorrow up to 4 patches we go!  Better take some extra kleenex with me to work!
