The Fun Never Ends March 4, 2010

I woke up this morning with what appears to be a raging bladder infection. Oh, the pain! It didn’t start getting completely unbearable until Dan had already left for work, so the best I could think to do was pop a couple of Tylenol, drink a bunch of water, and leave a message for my nurse.

I rocked in pain while trying to get Adam breakfast while praying the phone would ring. I called back twice, and finally got ahold of my nurse. She wanted me to come into the office for a UA.

By that point I did not have enough time to drive across the city (literally) and back before Adam needed lunch. So, we made arrangements for me to go to a closer lab. It was the only way I was going to get a Rx called out, so Adam and I hopped in the car.

I drove to the lab that I have been to numerous times, the last not that long ago, only to find out that they had moved. Shit! I was in agony and could only find out from some passerby that they had moved “somewhere near Wal-Mart.” Great.

I called Dan so he could look it up for me, but he was in a meeting. Thankfully he has a nice secretary who Googled the new lab location for me. After rummaging through the car to find the GPS (which Adam loves to play with) we finally found the new lab.

Ugh. What a nightmare. I picked up my antibiotic on the way home, and popped one before even hitting the driveway. Not a fun morning.

I’m assuming this came as a result of being catheterized post ET. I just want to feel better. At least I’m not in tears right now. That’s an improvement.

I’m getting this sinking feeling that I may need to get a t-shirt that reads “I did an IVF cycle and all I got was a bladder infection” when all is said and done. Joy, joy.
