Heart monitor on. They have a small one now almost like a bikini top holding it in, minus the cup haha. Way nicer than the last one which was essentially a little purse I had to carry around with wires hanging out my shirt. Happy for that.
So I met BG’s college roommate, his wife, and their two kids yesterday and loooooved then. I may have mentioned on here that I feel like BG has been pretty constantly meeting my friends, while I’ve only met few of his pretty early on at an event, so I was excited and nervous for yesterday. I am so happy I liked them. His college roommate’s wife sent him a text absolutely gushing about me, which felt really good. I don’t think meeting the friends has to be a big deal but do do feel like it’s a positive sign to genuinely like an SO’s friends.
@copa that’s great. It for sure is nice when you like the friends. Makes everything easier and more fun.
@JD – why do you need a heart monitor? I must have missed the page where you explained what was going on!
I’m back at work today after surgery last Tuesday and I really didn’t pick up the computer a whole lot while I was out. I don’t like to be on my phone or computer a lot while at home. All day at work is enough for me 🙂
My heart rate has been doing odd things for about three plus years now. Goes to 170 suddenly. Then will plummet to the 40s, rinse and repeat. Makes me feel ill constantly. I have been to many doctors all with no answers and “see me in 6 months” all while i have ER visits when it’s really bad and feel awful. The day it started i was in the best shape of my life and has an 8 pack! It’s been exhausting. I feel my new doctor is really intent on figuring it out but I also have heard that before.
The heart monitor came off last night. They basically sandpaper your skin to put the stickers on, but lightly. The girl left me with blisters under where the stickers were. Not happy about that. We go on Friday to find the results of that and some other tests.
Sadly today we found out our chances of getting pregnant are not good at all, pretty minimal. Mentally doing really poorly at this moment. Actually I’m sitting outside in the rain having a drink. Which in this moment i think is deserved. To note i LOVE RAIN. My husband luckily is insanely supportive and would and will do anything but adoption prices are not in our near future and I’m not to interested in being 75 when my kid graduates.
It’s truly sad they make it so difficult to adopt. Even if we had the cash in hand it would be so much better spent on the child than attorneys and what not. I know A LOT about the process. Even if that route pans out it just hurts to not have a child myself. When I was a kid and people asked me what i wanted to be, a mom was the only answer. Now at 37 I just wonder what the heck I do. For a day or two that will be like around being sad. And yes we are finding someone to talk I for sure need someone to talk to.
Sorry to hear that @JD. I can sympathize. I was told when I was 13 that me having my own biological children would require (ridiculously expensive) intervention and I really didn’t grasp it as a young teenager, but it’s really affected the way I am in romantic relationships in my 20s.. in the back of my mind, i’m always like, if I can’t provide a family, what man is going to be okay with that? It’s tough.
Thanks. It’s hard. For sure lying in bed today being sad. We are still working on other options but I feel very pessimistic about that today. I know I’ll pull out of it and work towards the next step, just some grieving today.
That sucks. I’m sorry. Take care of yourself that’s very important. Do something nice for you and your fam.
I’m sorry your going through that. It’s a lot to deal with. You should take today for yourself.
