Wedding & Weekend events

[Guest guest]

Hi All ~

We got home from the wedding about 11:30pm last

night. We had a great time!! It was a beautiful wedding!!

We didn't know how long we were going to be able to stay, but surprisingly

we were there for about 7 hours. The wedding was at 2pm, and we left

for home about 9pm.

It was a lot for my allergies to take... I swear

that 90% of Terry's family smokes continuously!! Which did wonders

to my allergies. Between Benadryl shots and wearing my oxygen

the entire time (completely emptied 2 'D' size tanks) we were able to stay

for a lot longer than anyone thought we would be able to!!

We did leave the reception for a little while

between the dinner & the dance, so that really helped. Although

I am still not sure how it was that I was able to stay out of the ER altogether!!

I just know it meant a lot to Terry's cousin (the bride) for us

to come.

Plus I wanted to show his family that I was "better

than them" to a point because although I have all these allergies, I still

made the effort of coming to the wedding... even though NONE of them came

to ours!!

There were a couple of aunts, uncles & cousins

that wanted to come but couldn't because of health reasons, so that was

okay & understandable... it was the rest that didn't come because the

wedding was in Minnesota (most of them live around Eau ~ apx 100

miles away), we weren't serving alcohol, there was no smoking, & our

requests not to set off my allergies (which most of MY family totally ignored,

but anyway) NOT one person from his family other than his parents showed

up!! ***okay I feel better now that I got that off my chest!***

Today we have just been lounging, and I am going

to take a nap soon because I am exhausted!! You could say I

am paying for yesterday but feeling okay, no real problems.

I am cycle day 3 (Sunday) did my 1st shot of Follistim

150 IU ~for those of you not on a trying to conceive list, Follistim is

an injectable fertility drug~ about 1400 (2pm). No real problems

with it so far. Still taking all the rest of my daily meds

(prenatal vitamins, folic acid, zyrtec, benadryl, calcium with D, zinc,

& magnesium) plus my PRN allergy drugs (Benadryl or Phenergan).

Hopefully this will do the trick for us &

we will be parents-to-be by next cycle's start date. Hoping but not

getting my hopes up too high yet. Don't want my heart to shatter

if it doesn't work out.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Nap time for me now, so I will check back in later!!

Love Always,

Anne
