Well today is C#12/ CD#26 / 11 DPO. no pg signs. No hope for this cycle...
Anyways, not much going on with TTC right now. I did start spotting yesterday at CD#25 and I never spot that early. Maybe it's due to the stress.
Anyways, I had a very long stressful weekend. Thursday afternoon FIL went to ER with chest pains. They said they think he had a mild heart attack and was having congestive heart failure at the time. So they sent him to a bigger hospital 70 miles away. So off we went there. We ended up staying the night. The following morning he had a cathetertization to find out what is going on in there. Well the doctor came to us and said that the 3 main arteries going into his heart were 90-97% clogged. And he had 2 minor ones that were 75% clogged. So they were gonna go in at noon that day and do that quadruple bypass. Well we ran home to get some clothes and such cause they said it would be a 3 hour surgery and then he would be in ICU overnight. So when we came back at 2:00 they had just got him in. So we were in for a long wait. Well they came out and said he also had a corroded artery in his neck that they had to fix also. So they finally came out that night and told us that everything went fine and they would see how things went overnight. Well then not long afetr the nurse came out and said that he was having excessive bleeding and they had to go back ini to find out what was causing that. They decided after doing that, that it must have been from his blood pressure jumping all over the place and spurting blood out. So into ICU. Finally we were able to go in and see him. Well my MIL had a hard time after that cuase when she went in he was still under quite a bit and he was thrashing around like he couldn't breathe and she couldn't handle that. So after that we went into a private room and sat with each other. Well dh had a few anxiety attacks and the first one scared me to death cause I'd never seen him do that before. Scared the hell out of me. It was just stressful for the whole family. The next time we went in he wasn't under quite so bad. My MIL started kissing him like it would be the last time and I couldn't handle it. I had to leave the room. So we stayed there close to the hospital all weekend. From Thursday to Sunday and then we went home. As of yesterday he was supposed to be put in another room on the rehab floor. Dh and I will go tonight to see him. He should be released from the hospital late this week.
Of course we couldn't go home and just relax after all of that. No we got home and our pilot light had blew out and our house was freezing. And pipes were frozen and all that good stuff. Dishes were piled since we left in such a hurry previously! YUK!
Well the Friday while we were at the hospital I had called my parents to let them know what was going on and my Mom sounded like she was really sick. She had went to the doc the previous Monday and got meds for a kidney infection. Well by Friday she was still in great pain. So I kept telling her to go to the ER or to her doc. Well she finally went yesterday and they sent her to get x-rays. They said they think she has a kidney stone and if they don't see anything in the x-rays they would have to do and IVP. So I'm waiting to find out what they find out with her.
Then to add to all that my Grandmother who Ii love very much has Parkinson's disease. She has been shaky for quite a while and just went to a neurologist and they told her that she does have Parkinson's. And that scares me too. I love her soo much. If any of you have any info on this I would appreciate if you could post it on my TTM board.
So anyways, that's what it's been like with me lately.
Until next time...........
