Walk the Line

Well, since I got out of the hospital I’ve not been driving, as ordered.  It’s kind of a bummer, but I am walking the line, as instructed.  Even yesterday, when it was drizzling and crappy outside, I hauled my sad, sorry butt up the hospital hill, muttering to myself the entire way “This is good for me.”  Today however,  it was pouring out when I took Jadey poo for her walk.  I decided, within seconds of stepping out on the back porch, that I was going to have to call for backup!!!  Josie, God bless her soul, came to the house and gave me a ride up the hill.  I am just so fortunate.

 

I did have an appointment with my neurologist today too.  He is young, smart and funny. I really enjoy his sense of humor and he is easy to talk to.  My sister in law gave me a ride to that appointment and picked me up too.  I am so fortunate to have people in my life who love me enough to go out of their way during their busy day to cart me around.  I’m very fortunate.

 

Dr. Suranyi was fantastic.  He put me on Lamictil, a drug that can be used during baby making years and advised me to have a planned child, should that be in my cards.  When I assured him that I was ready for babies but that Corey is a. laid off and b. not always sure of what he wants, he said to make sure I take plenty of Folic Acid and a prenatal vitamin when I am ready for a kid.

 

And here is the kicker….he then said to me, “You know, you should decide soon about having children, since when you turn 35 your fertility will drop off.”!!!!!!!

 

OH MY SWEET JESUS!  Did a medical man just tell me that or was I having another seizure?  He obviously doesn’t know me that well or he wouldn’t have made a crack about my fertility.  But two years!!!  I know the stats, but did he HAVE to remind me???

 

*sigh*  I need more therapy!!!  For so MANY different reasons!
