I Really Don’t Want to Complain Anymore July 4, 2005

I really don’t want to bitch and moan about the fact that my meds are kicking my ass. I don’t want to dwell on the fact that the Lupron has turned me into a mushy brained zombie with headaches and hot flashes or that the Dexamethasone is giving me major insomnia so that I wake up every morning between 4 and 5:30 and cannot go back to sleep.

I don’t want to complain about how I burned the crap out of my finger yesterday by accidentally using a wet oven mitt to take a pan out of the toaster oven. Nor do I want to look back and think about how I had to keep ice on my finger all freaking day long yesterday, because I couldn’t stand the pain.

I don’t want to whine about how when my husband and I made the trip over to Louisiana on Saturday to attend a 55th anniversary dinner for my grandparents that was hosted by my parents, we got bombarded by the surprise attendance of my teenage cousin and her newborn “oops” baby. Nor do I want to focus on the fact that we had to leave early, because I just couldn’t take it anymore.

So, I’m trying to come up with something to be happy about. Let’s see. My period started yesterday. That’s not something to sing from the rooftops about, but at least things are on schedule so far.

One thing I’m actually happy about is that I’m getting to spend some time with my hubby this weekend. He just works so damn much that I usually don’t get to spend a ton of time with him. He had to work yesterday and has to work some more today, but at least he’s working at home. Spending time with him helps me get through it all of that other crap, and I’m so damn thankful for that.

I understand about not wanting to complain but Lupron, especially, makes it hard not to. Add in the insomnia/Dex factor and your life isn’t very fun right now. Glad you got to spend time with your husband, I did too and it was wonderful.

I’m so sorry about all the crap going on. :(
I’m happy your hubby can be home tho and I hope you guys can find some time away for the two of you - even if just taking a cooler and going to watch fireworks.. Many many hugs

I have the same issue with my husband traveling/working a lot. It’s nice when he does take a few days to work from home.

I become a wreck on Lupron too. I’ll be starting it later this month….can’t wait :(
All I can say is you can go ahead and complain all you want! I can assure you that I would be…especially about that surprise guest at the party. That had to be tough. It’s hard enough to handle situations like that on our best days when not in the middle of a cycle!
