Since my last post things have been pretty miserable. I was feeling pretty great the first almost week of the 2nd surgery then BLAH!!! It started with me falling. Our bed is pretty high up so Joe put a step stool on the side so I could use that during recovery. I went to get into bed on Wednesday night and when I lifted 1 leg into bed I was evidently too far over on the stool. It tipped and caused me to tip right into the side table. I screamed, Joe ran, and it sucked! I called the surgeon the next day and they said just keep an eye on everything. Things seemed okay until I had my post-op appointment on Monday. Several of the incisions were infected and so they put me on some pretty strong antibiotics and a special wash to use on the area. They had me come back on Friday morning to check the incisions. The result was being sent straight to the ER. The surgeon did NOT like that my incisions looked worse not better. I went to the new hospital by our home and was taken back immediately(score!!!) but ended up being there for 6 hours. They talked about admitting me but in the end I got to come home...YAY!!!!!!! They found quite a few things that they didn't like but nothing too major. The thing that ticked me off was that they found a cyst on my right ovary. We JUST cleaned out all that stuff 1.5 months ago when they did the first surgery so I am NOT happy with my body already having another cyst. Hopefully, it isn't a big deal and will just go away on its own though. I have a copy of the CT scan from the ER and will be taking it to our infertility doctor to evaluate. So my body is sucking as usual and we are praying it gets better!!!
In other news we have family(my side) from around the country in town at my parent's house this weekend. We went over today(me being sentenced to a chair/couch because I am on strict bedrest) and had a great time! TJ loved swimming with his cousins, aunt, grandpa, and uncles! He wore his new life jacket for the first time and within 10 minutes was swimming by himself and jumping in! I thought it would take him awhile to figure out how to stay upright with the life jacket but oh no! He is way too clever for us and had it ALL figured out. He has NO fear which makes mommy have LOTS of fears! My dad did fried walleye from Minnesota(YUM!!!!!!!!!!!) which made for a great meal! Joe and TJ loved it which is great since Joe doesn't really like ANY seafood. It was just an all around great evening with family! I must add that my cousin told me(1 of the first to know!) that she is pregnant with their second and we couldn't be more excited for them! They will be leaving for Argentina(for 18 mo) next June and wanted to get pregnant and have the baby several months before moving. They had a window of when it could happen and it did! Experiencing infertility makes you long for NO one else to experience it. I am SO SO SO happy that they have had the good fortune to get pregnant both times easily. Their baby boy is precious and another one will just add to their cute little family. Congrats to my cousin and her hubs!!!
