Franny's cleaning up a lot of stuff at the moment. He has to work tonight. It's been weird because we hardly see each other since he's been working an extra two nights a week, mainly because he sleeps during the day. Because he got the new job, he will be back on a regular schedule soon. He's been quite jovial about the new position, almost A.D.D. like, and it appears this is a job he will enjoy doing. Hey, working with little kiddies doesn't sound so bad.
I went to pamf to get a test done and then I went to get my accupuncture done in Bezerkly. Dr. Rakela told me that ABC news called her yesterday evening about doing a special about a certain topic with Peter Jennings. They asked her if she could suggest any patients for the special. Well, she asked me! I was floored. At first, I thought "sure", but then I thought about how everyone in the world will know my issues. Not like they don't know already since I blog in this thing! But yeah, that would be crazy. It's going to air the first week of August on ABC News for seven days. I told her I would mull it over and of course, I had to ask Franny about what he thought about having the public intrude in on our lives for 7 days. And I instantly thought, our house isn't ready for national TV. Hey, maybe it's the closest we'll get to reality TV. LOL. Ha, I am cracking myself up right now.
For the most part, accupuncture was uneventful. I wanted her to induce my cycle and I think she accomplished it. Tomorrow we have an early appointment with my doc. I just hope Franny makes it in time to come with me.
I was thinking about something really exciting the other day. My endo doc emailed me about something I brought up in my last appointment. I do a lot of proactive research about a ton of medical topics and I brought up this particular procedure that has been very successful in removing endometriomas. Well, he told me he would research it in the national medical library (only docs can get it). About a week later he emailed me, and told me to call him when I got a chance. Well, when we spoke on the phone, he was very helpful in going over all the studies done in regards to this procedure. I only knew of one clinic in the US that specializes in it (I was actually thinking of flying out of state to get this procedure done), but apparently there is a lot of research listed all over the world...Japan, Italy, Cairo, etc... To sum it up, he said that in many cases, it has helped completely remove the endometrioma, and it definitely doesn't hurt the ovary. That's great and all, but what I thought was really remarkable was that he is thinking of offering this procedure at his clinic now. Wow. I just felt like in some small way, I am touching someone else's life. Someone else can benefit from what I did. Anyway, I really like my endo doc. He did a really great job on my surgery and seems like he really cares about each of his patients progress and well-being.
Franny's vacuuming the stairs. I'm so glad I don't ever have to do that. That seems so strenous. Anyhow, I worked out today with the stepper and total gym. Did a few reps and worked out mainly my triceps, calves, biceps, shoulders, and thighs. No ab workouts for the next few weeks =(
We have a hectic next few days. Jenn's shower is this weekend and it's a hawaiian theme. Should be fun. Oh and they sent out an email about their wedding website today. I love Franny's photo in the wedding entourage page. He looks like a midget. Hilarious.
Franny's not working tomorrow, so I am demanding he take me out on a date. Yes, that's right, I said "demand". =)
