I'm actually at work today and am feeling so much better. I'm about three pounds lighter, which I hope is mostly just the swelling of my ovaries going down. I didn't eat much the last couple of days, tho. Nowhere to put it, I felt so full up. I upped my fiber intake, including eating a whole bag of prunes over three days. Not much action, but some, so I'm feeling better. I actually felt like eating last night and cooked halibut, grilled asparagus and rice.
Please send good thoughts not only towards our 11 embies dividing and growing but also for my father who had surgery yesterday. 18 months ago he had major surgery to correct an aortic aneurysm. It was a 10-hour ordeal with many days in the hospital. He has recovered nicely until up to a couple of months ago when his left leg started bothering. He went back to his surgeon who discovered that he wasn't getting any blood to his left leg. Thus the operation yesterday to correct this.
His surgeon described yesterday's procedure as a "house cat" compared to the "mountain lion" from two summers ago. He's healing nicely, but I believe the more prayers and good thoughts out there for him, the better.
Thank you.

So glad you are feeling better. I'm thinking nothing but good thoughts for your embies and your dad. Any surgery for any problem is a bit scary. Always thinking of you!

Oh jem, thinking of you, your father and your precious embies.
Glad you have some movement in the constipation area...I always get majorly blocked at this time in an IVF cycle. It's so uncomfortable, so I really feel for you.
Mostly I just hope you are having a better day today.
Sending love your way.
Good to hear you're feeling better! I know it's no fun feeling so backed up.
Sending all my good energy towards your dad and your embies!

Many thoughts and prayers to your dad and his quick recovery!
I'm glad you're doing better now, Jem. Will you get a report on the embies before the transfer tomorrow? (Or am I a dolt and missed it... I'll go check your next older post..)
Thinking good thoughts for your embies AND for your dad. My dad had the same surgery (for an aortic aneurysm) and it is scary stuff. Glad that you're only dealing with a house cat, but I know it is still anxiety-producing.
Come on, eleven!
Glad you're feeling better! Sending lots of good thoughts to you and your dad!
