Pedialyte=GROSS!

No wonder kids often refuse to drink pedialyte when they are sick! It's gross! I get that it's so helpful but must it taste like salt water mixed with a hint of orange kool-aid? Unfortunately, 1 day post retrieval I was having some stomach issues so my mom zoomed in with Milk of Magnesia. Well, the MoM worked 180% which killed my stomach and other regions. Add the drink prescribed by Iowa City, Gatorade, and I spent more time in the bathroom than in bed. Sorry for the details. I thought that was pretty mellow, I could have been way more graphic.

A call into Iowa City this morning and they recommended pedialyte and low sodium V8. We thought we'd start with the pedialyte and save the V8 for later to add a little diversity to my diet. I do love a good bloody mary. Sadly, my mom burst my bubble and informed me that V8 tastes quite different than a bloody mary. All of this talk of Bloody Mary's sure is making me miss the Sunday Bloody Mary bar at Jefferson's in Winona.
Anywho, I drank my pedialyte and then spent an hour in the backyard watching Addie in her pool and then we set out to get some ice cream from Betty Jane's. I thought I deserved ice cream after this experience and some Gremlin ice cream would surely make me feel better. It was very yummy and I am now pooped out from all of the excitement. I'm thinking tomorrow is going to be a very long day at work. When we left the hospital on Friday, they told us it could be 3 days-1 week before I felt like my normal self. I'm really looking forward to that! Not being one to lounge around, I can see a ton of things I need to do in the house, but they all require lifting. We're also counting down to Wednesday's transfer! How exciting! We call tomorrow morning to find out what time it will be. We don't get a report on how the little 8 embryos are doing, hopefully dividing and growing. We'll find out how many made it on Wednesday when we go in. Cross your fingers! After 3 years of trying to make this happen, we are as close as we'll ever be!!
Cheers,
