First of all I want to say to B & K how sorry I am for your loss of snuffy. I can't begin to imagine how you are feeling right now. I wish there was something I could do to help. My heart goes out to both of you right now at this difficult time.
Not too much going on for me. I did end up canceling my appointment with the RE this morning. I figured if I went and he wanted to do various testing etc, I wouldn't be able to do it because of a lack of funds. I also can't really afford to cycle right now because of the lack of funds, need for time off next month etc. So I will wait until June.
Last night they started orienting me at work to float to the mother infant unit. This is because I have the certification needed to work with the infants. I was a bit nervous because I had never really done the mother stuff but it went well. Funny thing is that I can't decide if this is going to be really cool to do (I really liked the feel of the unit and the people I worked with) or if this is going to be a new form of self torture seeing babies that aren't mine. One upside though is that when I worked NICU I got sort of freaked out. I saw all the worst case scenarios in what could go wrong during a pregnancy and found myself wondering how anyone ever made it to term while pregnant. With mother infant, I will see a lot more of the happy outcomes. Also a big plus is that I've found I really prefer caring for the stable healthy patients who are very unlikely to "code" on me. The patients in mother infant definitely fit that description. We'll see what happens.
BFF R is coming down next weekend with her youngest daughter who is 9. This is a surprise for her daughter still and we are going to Dis.ney.land and all that. The timing isn't the best as far as money goes but we have been planning this for about a month so I'm just going to try to spend as little as possible.
I also need to start packing up my apartment and find a storage spot for my stuff here in SB to store everything for the 3 weeks I'm at home. I'm also a little worried about renting my house out at home since I've been looking at rentals at home and they seem to be really low right now. It will be a bummer if I can't get much rent on my house.
I slept all day today. I came home with a horrible headache this morning. I've had a headache almost every day for like 2 weeks. Mostly just there but this morning and one other day it was pretty bad. I think my neck is out but when I mentioned it to the Dr. from hell last week he pretty much ignored it. I need to do something as I can't keep doing the headaches. This afternoon when I got up I went for a walk on the beach. I love being so close to the ocean. I may not go every day but I love having the option.
yes, like I pointed out, my life lately is very boring.

I hope the money issues work out soon! I hope your headache is better!
Your life isn't boring. :) I love to read about it!
I've always wanted to try mother/baby. My L & D experience sucked, but the people on the unit were evil, nurses and docs both. Plus the whole IF thing. Truly, it was the culture of the unit that made me cry every day, not so much the IF. Let me know how you like it!
Sorry your head hurt. Nice to sleep all day though :-)
Sorry you have to wait a month or two but the cycle will be less stressful if money is not all stressful.
Disneyland sounds like fun!
Have you maybe thought about a CHIRO for your neck? It does help the headaches!
Your life definitely doesn't sound boring! Mother baby sounds cool. That's what my mom worked for many years (she was a nurse too.) Hopefully it won't be too difficult of a situation to be in emotionally. Sometimes when I get sent up to L & D to be the epidural wench (one CRNA is assigned per day) for the day, I find it hard to see all the really young moms or the ones who don't seem to want their babies, or the drug using moms all in labor. It's a bit hard to take sometimes. I know what you mean. But I hope it works out good, and Disne.y sounds great...the ocean too...I'm so jealous!
Forgot to say I'm sorry about the RE having to be postponed and the headaches...I'll be thinking of you!
