vw, I'm glad you have a good OB. Are you in a wait and see situation or running lots of tests type situation?
River: You're not right, Early. You're not righteous. You've got issues. Early: No. Oh, yes, I could have that. You might have me figured out, then. Good job. I'm not 100%.

Mostly lurking...
We're in a wait-and-see situation for now. They offered to attempt CVS yesterday, but he didn't think they'd be able to get the sample, which just cemented our current no-invasive-testing stance. We'll have another ultrasound in two weeks.

vw, if you need anything at all, including someone to meet you for lunch and vent at, I'm around.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Happy birthday, Pix and Maria!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
So much less-stress~ma and more joyful, healthy pregnancy~ma to you and your DH, vw. It's wonderful to see your font, here or on FB.
Pix & Drew, I am so glad that the loan went through. What a relief for you!

Ann, that's a ferret.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
vw, that's exciting! I'm sorry it's stressful and scary right now. All my good vibes to you for a supremely healthy baby.
ION, I'm having an allergic reaction to one of the drugs for my sinus infection, and the problem is that I don't know which one. The NP gave me prednisone, which has never caused a problem before, BUT I have had an allergic reaction to other steroids (consider the irony of having an allergic reaction to something that's supposed to STOP an inflammatory reaction). So it could be that I'm reacting to the prednisone because it's in the same family.
But it could be the antibiotic, which would piss me off SO HARD, because I'm already allergic to a lot of antibiotics and it scares me a little to think how narrow my options are getting if I ever have a badass infection.
So I stopped the steroid this morning and took one more dose of the antibiotic (because I thought, at first, that the reaction was to the steroid; therefore the antibiotic would be "safe"). And now I'm loaded up on Benadryl and tired, itchy, and annoyed. (I seriously might take a third Benadryl; I am THAT itchy. No breathing problems, though, or anything else potentially life-threatening.)
Why so messed-up, body? Drugs are supposed to HELP you! Play nice with them!
