Dream a Little Dream June 13, 2004

I have weird dreams. Last night I dreamt that we had to do IVF. This has been on my mind quite a bit lately, because that is our next step if my husband’s surgery is not successful. However, this was not a typical IVF cycle. The only details I remember from the dream are that instead of how they typically transfer embryos in an IVF cycle, my Dr. had me put on a patch (like the heat patches you use for menstrual cramps) that contained my embryos. I guess they were supposed to burrow through my skin into my uterus to implant. Interesting.

On another note, my mother called me last night practically insisting that she come into town to be there during my husband’s surgery. I had already told her that it was not necessary for her to make the trip. I guess she didn’t get the polite suggestion earlier, so last night I think I repeated the word “no” a million times. I guess for some people the prospect of sitting by themselves in a hospital for 8+ hours while their spouse is in surgery is not ideal. I, however, would much rather be alone. My mom would just stress me out. This is something that I feel my husband and I need to do on our own. Hopefully my mom gets that, but most likely she just got upset because I don’t “need” her. I just think all of this is hard enough to deal with without having to worry about dealing with my mom.
