Finally Better!

After two weeks of being sick, I woke up this morning and finally felt a bit better.  I have only worked one full day this year, and have just been down for the count with some nasty virus.  I hit rock bottom on Thursday afternoon.  I was in so much pain.  My throat hurt so badly.  I was just miserable.  I went back to the doctor, and they told me that I could take much more pain medication than I had been taking.  I think that made the difference.  I was able to get past the pain and get some sleep which allowed me to finally start feeling better.  I can't tell you how good that feels!

I am planning on going to work tomorrow (weird!).  I don't even remember what that is like.  Today, I need to get myself together.  I'm a wreck.  My first mission is to get my nails done.  They look terrible!  So, I am determined to find a place to get a manicure today!  I also need to deal with my eyebrows.  Ugh!  I think I also need to replace some makeup after the illness, so that should be fun.  I need to keep myself from doing too much so that I don't relapse.

On the IVF front, I need to call my nurse on Monday and get her to order my medications.  I'll start my IVF cycle in February after my (much needed) vacation.  I am hopeful that maybe this will be successful.  If it is, I could end up with a baby by my husband's 40th birthday in November.  I can't imagine a better gift.  I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much, but I need to live in the light a little bit in order to have the courage to take this chance again.
