Hockey game, ER visit.....just a Friday night at our house!

So on Friday night we were going to the Aeros hockey game with some great friends and well I had a little accident before we ever got to the game. We were meeting our friends at my husbands office and I fell or maybe its was more like went flying. I tripped when the tip of my shoe got caught on the sidewalk and I completely wiped out! I got up and my knees were very sore and so was my left wrist. Chris thought I had hit my head on the plate glass window but I didn't, instead I tried to catch myself with my left hand. So our friends got there we all laughed and headed to the hockey game. Once we got there, we were standing in line to get some snacks and I said to Chris, I think maybe I really screwed up my wrist! So we went and sat down and when I went to the bathroom between periods, I knew it was not good. I couldn't even pull up my pants. So when I got back to the seats I realized that my fingers were really swollen and discolored along with my wrist. I tried taking of my wedding ring and after lots of tugging got it off and put it on my right hand. After we left the game, the pain and swelling was really starting to set in so at midnight we made our way to the ER just to make sure it was ok. By now my knees were swollen and turning colors too. At the ER, they said there weren't any major breaks in the wrist but that I should wear a brace and sling that they gave me along with pain meds and keep it iced until I can get to an Orthopedic Dr. So I have an appt on Thursday morning. I am feeling much better, but still sore and still swelling and taking pain meds at night. All in a Friday night at our house. I am now known as the one armed bandit and since I am pecking with one hand right now, I am going to wrap this up. But before I do, please say a prayer that they don't find anything wrong on Thurs and please pray again for our friends A & B....they had 2 embryos implanted on Sat and she will have the blood test in 10 days to determine if the IVF worked and she is pregnant! Blessings to each and everyone of you!

Knowing is better than not knowing!

I got the official word today at work. My last day of work will be on Feb 26th! That was the best news possible. Since as of 2/26 the office will be completely closed down. This means I was asked to stay and shut the whole thing down. The good news about this is I have a regular paycheck until then and then my severance will kick in. So now I can really start looking for a job since I now know when I will be able to start. So that is the final news and honestly I was so relieved at first and now reality is really starting to set in. Please continue to pray for me to find a job. Also a quick update on our friends A & B, after harvesting follicles and fertilizing they have 13 embryos that are on their way to the genetics lab for testing. They will know on Thursday how many continue to grow and are CF free and Saturday will be implantation day. Please keep them in your prayers! Thanks to everyone for their prayers for us and our dear friends. May God bless each and everyone of you!

Have you met Hank & Linda???

My best friend Tara & her hubby Rafael
Me & Tara

Let me introduce you to Hank & Linda! Yes this is Hank & Linda!




So on Friday night we went out with Tara & Rafael and the last time Rafael saw us was in Feb when we all went to the rodeo. So needless to say he was shocked and he said well it was great of Hank & Linda to come but where the hell is Chris & Amy! We all got a big laugh out of it and most of all we had fun spending time together. We went to the Fort Bend County Fair for the first time in 10 years and we have decided we don't need to go back for another 10 years. So we officially have a date planned for 2019!
We are both still doing and feeling great. I will know by this week when my last day at work will be so at least I will know because the not knowing is the worst. Please pray for our dear friends A & B that are going thru IVF, tomorrow morning they will be harvesting her eggs and then she will go back for the implantation on Sat the 10th! Until next time, blessings to everyone and thanks for all of your prayers for us and for A & B!
