Antibiotic Update

Due to the side effects from the antibiotics and not being able to take the meds that would bypass the nausea, metallic taste in my mouth and cramping, I stopped taking them as of Sunday. I got through to day 6 of a 14 day prescription.I also made the decision based on the fact that this is try week. We can not try while I am on the antibiotics. I don't know, I'm trying to exercise self control as much as possible due to feeling cranky, tired and fuzzy headed. Trying to have a baby is like planning a wedding, it can consume your life if you let it and I'm really trying for it not to. The infection from the HSG and now the side effects from the antibiotics doesn't help either. I slept about 11 or 12 hours every day over the long weekend. Last night I went home and laid down. For the most part I slept through to this morning. I woke up about every 3 hours for just long enough to look at the alarm clock, see it wasn't time to get up, roll over and go back to sleep. Despite sleeping so long last night, I'm dragging this morning. I'm not a morning person anyway though, so maybe I just need time to fully wake up.

I'm grateful today for an understanding loving husband, a job to come to and a blog to type out this myriad of convoluted mess that is my mind right now.

I saw a Spiritual Types test, it says I'm a sage.. ( I know that's the name of a cute little girl a friend has and a spice, but none the less, they have labeled me as such) Some of it applies ( I do schedule and organize for a living), some doesn't (details are subjective, depends if I think the detail is important whether I pay attention to it or not), was fun none the less.

You are a Sage, characterized by a thinking or head spirituality. You value responsibility, logic, and order. Maybe that's why you were voted "Most Dependable" by your high school classmates. Structure and organization are important to you. What would the world be like without you? Chaos, that's what! Your favorite words include should, ought, and be prepared. What makes you feel warm and fuzzy? Like Tevye from Fiddler on the Roof it's tradition! tradition! tradition!
Because you love words, written or spoken, you enjoy a good lecture, serious discussions, and theological reflection. Prayer for you usually is verbal. You thrive on activity and gatherings of people, such as study groups. Sages on retreat likely would fill every day with planned activities, leaving little time for silence or solitude.

We need Sages for your clear thinking and orderly ways. You pay attention to details that others overlook. Sages make contributions to education, publishing, and theology. You often are the ones who feel a duty to serve, give, care, and share with the rest of us.

On the other hand, sometimes you seem unfeeling, too intellectual, or dry. Can you say "dogmatic"? You may need to experience the freedom of breaking a rule or two every now and then. God's grace covers Sages too, you know!

I just left a message for my nurses dr asking if there was another kind I could take and/ or what she thought of me stopping prematurely. We shall see...

I knew no good could come from calling the doctor. They referred me to a GI specialist ( same one I went to funny enough this time last year for the Celiac.) My guess from the handful of information I was given so that I can have a catscan and they can pinpoint what exactly is infected.
