Well...

I think I offended the ovum...

I was here the other night...

A week and a half ago it was confirmed that

my "house guest" wasn't going anywhere on it's own.

Doc gave me the abortion pill and wished me luck...

Thanks.

4 little pills and I was going to be on

my way back to normal...

Without over sharing,

I used all four pills at once and waited...

About 40 minutes later things started happening...

At it's worst I'd say the pain was at about an hour

before you'd ask for the epidural..

(I tend to wait as long as I can for it)

Over the next 9 days things continued

without much pain...

A third ultrasound on day 9 revealed the worst...

still there...

nothing had changed.

I called the doc and was told to come into the office

the next day to discuss options.

Turns out I wouldn't need that appointment.

Went home that night and things picked up...

a lot.

I ended up in the ER...

After

 multiple IVs

an invasive procedure

some wonder drugs

a couple bags of fluids

3 hospital gowns

(and fresh sheets to go with them)

2 concerned doctors

1 nervous nurse

and an ovum in a jar...

I was able to go home.

A couple days later

I'm sitting here...

dizzy and pale from things lost.

Doc says a little more to go

and then it should be over.

Thought for the day:

There's a light at the end of the tunnel.

Let's hope it's not a train.
