OMG- That is INSANE!!! This is totally book worthy material here sweetie. You can't make this shit up.
I hope you get to feeling better, and perhaps being at home with mom to baby you is just what the doctor ordered...well, for a little while anyways. ;)
Hope you get to feeling better.
{{HUGS}}
Sheesh! Sending some GOOD karma your way! Sorry about the fire! Hope the time with your parents goes well!
Oh Lordy! Here's some good vibes and karma coming straight at ya!
You deserve a break!
((HUGS))
My sister had hyperemesis with all three of her pregnancies--I know it's awful.
Someday you will probably laugh about that electrical fire...probably. I'm not saying that about the other stuff.
Is your last name "Murphy" btw? J/K, you have my total sympathy.
Clearly you need your "mommy" right now and G-d is making it happen!
I hope you have a very happy Passover and can celebrate the passage from slavery (IF).

HOLY SHIT! CALL ME!!!

You poor thing!! I have been keeping you in my thoughts ... I hope things start going your way soon! =(
Oh my goodness! I'm sorry you've got to move out. What a pain in the ass. Hope the TLC from your mom helps
OH MY! I hope everyone was ok in the fire...how frustrating though. I know I would go out of my mind if I had to move in with my parents for 2 weeks...but YAY! for not missing Passover!
Dude, I'm sorry. I've been thinking of the E-word after reading how ill you were/are, but I was hoping for a better diagnosis. At least you'll be under mom's care...try not to go too insane.
Good grief; I hope you get much lovin' on over there!
Um. Let the good times roll? How crazy is all of this?! Hang in there.
Just dropping in to let you know I'm thinking of you. Geez, you have had a hell of a time already. I'm really hoping the sub-Q pump does it for you. Maybe being at your rents for a while may not be the worst thing. You'll have two people to dote on you :)
Oh wow - that's just not fair!
I hope that your parents pamper you and you get to enjoy Passover.
Better times have got to be in store!
That's crazy! I hope you're okay and starting to feel better.
Yeep! So much junk going on. Hope its turning out better for you!
Thinking about you cheeka!! I hope that you are doing okay over at your parent's home, and they are pampering you accordingly. :)
<3
Gah, sorry my commenting has been so awful lately. And I'm sorry things are so difficult, but hey at least you have some Caps Playoff Hockey to look forward to! Congrats on the Presidents Cup!
Hope you're hangin' in there.
Hugs.
Not to be needy and all, but it's been DAYS since you posted. Do your parents live in the Dark Ages without Internet capability? Are you basking in the warmth of your Mommy's TLC?
Whatever it is, just know that I'm still here. Thinking of your constantly and hoping you don't feel like fried ass every minute of every day.
xoxo
omgosh. Poor you. I'm just getting caught up and WHOA! You need some good luck to help you get through the days.
Congrats on the pregnancy though! Yay! I hadn't seen that yet until today. YAY!!!
Hello.
Please read how IVF medications led to my breast cancer and how a breast cancer study using genetic testing to check estrogen metabolism is saving my life. Please share my story with all women who have used or are considering IVF, HRT and anyone with estrogen positive breast cancer.
Thanks
