Tash, one of my 4 readers,loves my blog! Who knew? Goof that I am, totally didn't get that the award went with the meme, so I was just happy to be linked with Tash's thoughtful heartfelt blog. So I did the meme, answered the questions and then realized that she sent me an award. As I said, not, on the ball at all.
I am making progress of a sort. I saw the pain control specialist and scheduled my radioablation frequency of my sacroiliac joints. I neglected to tell him that I had given up by three time a day dose of narcotics for said joint pain. The dose is no longer adequate and I refuse to increase, due in part to respect for my liver, and my hearing (think Rush Limbaugh) and my fear of needing rehab one day or needing really strong drugs one day and being tolerant to everything.
Because I was able to discontinue the blood thinner in anticipation of being pregnant I have been taking anti-inflammatories instead and once I got over the first three days I have actually felt much better, just as I suspected I would. I still have pain, but am hoping that it will get better once I have the ablation.
I heard from the Fertility Clinic recently with an updated donor list. Considering all that is going on health wise, I haven't gotten around to emailing them yet. I am waiting to my genetic results back, if they are negative for everything I am not sure what I will do. I spent the last year getting ready for this donor IVF pregnancy. I lost 70 pounds, got off any meds that could cause birth defects, worked on my bad back and older than normal body. Hell I even got my house in shape

I would like to pass this award along to a couple of ladies that I have read forever; both have gone through infertility and IVF and come out the other side but are now facing new challenges with their familiar grace and courage. First is Helen at Everyday Stranger who has recently been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, the same connective tissue disorder that I was diagnosed with over 20 years ago and then there is Tertia, who writes So Close, who is pregnant for the seventh time with a much wanted baby. Lucky Number Seven, however, is causing much debilitating nausea and thoughts of previous losses. Both of these writers, like Tash, have shown me grace through adversity and could use our support and good wishes now.

#12 breaks my heart.
#15 and #26 tell me you're a woman after my heart.
glad you're feeling a bit better. Waiting with you.
I don't know what to say. Sorry. But I'm sending you my love. I know that's a hopeless comment but I didn't want to go without leaving something.
With love, Alice
Thank you very much for coming to my blog.
I was checking out your blog and read few of your posts and I can't tell you how touched I am! You are a very brave lady. Please know that you and your family will be in my prayers all the time.

Thanks for your comments on my blog. With love, Alice
The one thing I like about tags is getting to know people better. Thanks for sharing these things about yourself. You seem like a really strong person willing to put herself through pain for a future baby. I hope the donor thing works for you and will be checking in here to follow your journey. So I guess now you have 5 readers. : )
Thanks for your comment on my blog. I came back to yours to get to know you and am stunned at the results of your doctor's visits! But I see the posts are from last year. What was the ultimate diagnosis, if you don't mind sharing? Are you still blogging? I'd love to keep up with what's going on with you if you are...
