Well I didn't get home until quite late last night. I got my injections and then the doctor sent us over to x-rays where I was suppose to get my shoulders, hands and feet done. Well I get there and the first thing the lady asked is "is there a chance that you are pregnant?" I said "well, ummm...no" she said "why did you hesitate..." I said "well I stopped taken the pill this month" she says..."Oh, are you trying" me...."no,no...ummm, I just ahhh, the pill kinda takes any desire out for me and my dh wanted the old me back.
" Talk about embarrassing! She then says "well have you had unprotected sex?" me....."umm, well kinda yes." She says "oh, ok...When was the last time?" At this point I am so embarrassed...I say"well actually yesterday"
She says well let me check with someone. Off she goes and calls my doctor so now and a few other people she worked with. She comes back and says...sorry, you'll have to cme back some other time...UGH! It is an hour and a half away! I asked if I could get the done somewhere else and she said no. So, even though I am postive I am NOT pregnant, and even though I told her we tried for 2 years to get pregnant after my daughter was born...they couldn't do it. Frustrating for me because I know I am not in my fertile time of the month but I can understand her position. So, now we have to head down there as soon as TOM arrives.
LoriD...Thank you.
I have no intention of giving up....but do get frustrated sometimes because I feel I am battling against myself and the meds. I will continue trying to make the best choices I can. Skating sounds like fun, and those nachos sound good to, I hope you enjoyed them!
Kirsty... I am trying not to weigh everyday...I am actually doing better. I used to step on it first thing in the morning, after breakfast, before lunch, after lunch, before supper, after supper, and before and after going to the bathroom....now that is addiction and obbsession! I have been much better and now weigh myself just in the morning, and only sometimes at night. Slowly but surly I will get to everyother day and then just once a week.
I am totally clueless....what are haggis, tatties and neeps?? What kind of swimming do you do? I am so anxious to join some type of swimming program...do you find it to be enough of a work out? Any swimming I do will have to be low intensity.
Jess...Sounds like you had a busy day. I have never read Tami Hoag....but I LOVE James Patterson. Have you read anything from him? He is definatly a page turning author. So far I have been seeing the scale go down....and I AM thankful for that. I will continue to plug away and bit by it will happen. Thank you for your encouragement! That is great that there will be meetings in your area. When I first joined WW back a couple of years ago I had to travel almost 45 minutes each week just to get there....I started really dreading the meetings. Now we have one in our town even though it is only 1 meeting time per week, I am glad that I am available for that one.
Keir...We can be robot buddies together. Sorry to hear that you are not doing so well either.
What kind of medication are you taking? I've been on so many and nothing seems to help except the steriods (injectable prednisone) The last bit of meds that I was on was methotrexate and arava...both of which started damaging my liver and so I had to go off of them.
Is it that you don't like ketchup or is it high in points? I never count it...am I making a mistake?
Jen-L...I hope you get the place!! Good luck
Ali...I am glad you had a good time on your date....but be careful! If the guy is like that on only your 3rd date....I would be a little weary. It sounds like you had fun though so it's your call!
KT...Glad the first aid course went well, Good luck on your midterm! I am jealous of your weather! It has been SO cold here. Yesterday it was -32C BRRRRR! I didn't know you could take a med leave from ww but I don't think I would take advantage of it simply because this is a lifelong thing that wont go away anyway so I have to learn to do ww even with the RA and steriods....it 'll just be a slower progress.
Rina...I am not seeing anyone other then my rheumatologist and family doctor. I have though about a chripracter but I really don't think it would help....I am always afraid of massage therapy because I am afraid when anyone touches my body...(painwise). About your gain...I bet it is TOM but do get back on program though so you don't make it a real gain! (just a friendly push!) I do understand the week of TOM and how much temptation there is out there. Just try, you can do it!
Phew! I didn't mean for this to get so long, it just happened. I better not lose it all when I try and post it! That would just suck!
Have a great OP day, and I will be back later.
Angie
Tuesday!
I hope you feel better! My second pg was much more trying then the first. I was sick a lot, and much more tired. There will be an end even if it seem s so far away! hang it there! ((hugs))
I also have some books I am going to start (once I finish the one by kinsbury) by Francine Rivers. I havn't read anything from her that I can remember right now....but I have heard +++ things about her books. Working in a library (and volunteering in my church library) I have tons of access to books which is awesome. Have you read any of the left behind series by Tim Lehaye (or something like that) there is another author who writes it with him but I can not remember his name. It is a great sereis...>BUT LONG!
