Good Evening Humble Readers -
Just a few random thoughts and updates tonight...
****************
Recovery from the hysteroscopy is almost complete. Bleeding/spotting stopped pretty much that evening. I'm still dealing with a bit of stiffness in my neck and shoulders, and that punching-bag thingy (the uvula) is still really stretched and swollen. I have some random bruises (from the blood pressure cuff and from a heart monitor lead I think), but other than those minor items, all is well. I am to call my OB in about two weeks for the results, but other than that, he said "call me when you achieve pregnancy". Hmmm... will he give me a gold star? 'Achieving' pregnancy has never really been the issue. For those of you who have had this procedure done... did you find that it messed with your bbt temps?

I took a car-less friend to Cost.co today, and I ended up spending way too much money! That place is the mecca of impulse shopping. I even went in with a list! Oh well... most of it was not totally unnecessary. I stocked up on things like applesauce and pudding, as they are easy on the throat. I also bought the Wii Ac.tive package. We'll see how I do on that.
****************
For those who asked, confetti squares are made primarily of peanut butter and those colourful mini marshmallows. I just don't know the actual recipe. My Beloved would love it if I would start making them on a regular basis.

The weather on the flatland has been unpredictable at best. Sun, rain, wind, and lots of dust (courtesy of the road workers on the sidewalk in front of our condo) seem to cycle two or three times a day right now. The farmers say we need the rain, so I guess I shouldn't whine too much.
****************
My mom is doing slightly better. The kicker is that she is the type of person who doesn't know how to sit still, and now she's been forced to stay put (in a wheelchair no less). She and Dad have just gotten Blac.kber.ry phones, so I've been getting texted several times a day with updates.
****************
Can you believe that Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett both died today? Wow!

News on the NYC vacation front: we purchased tickets to a Yankees vs Red Sox game! How cool is that? I'm a little nervous that it's an evening game, and that we will have a long subway ride to go to get back to our hotel afterward, but still... how cool!
Well, I think that's it for tonight. I'm planning on a Kitchen Adventures post tomorrow, so make sure to stop back in and check out the recipes.
Glad you're doing well! Take it easy, and good luck with your "achievement."
ReplyDeleteGlad you're recovering quickly :) I must say I am very jealous of your Yankee/Sox game! A few years ago we went to a game in Boston and a game in NYC in the same week, but how cool to see them play each other! Have a blast!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by my blog! It means so much!
ReplyDeleteHope you continue to recover! (((HUGS)))

glad you are recovering quickly! I had surgery a couple of years ago and the uvula was bruised and swollen (it actually turned black and laid on my tongue...ewww) and i was miserable....but that stiff tends to heal relatively quickly :)
ReplyDeleteand I love NYC, it is so close....i miss working there every day.
Glad to hear you are recovering. Oh i LOVE and MISS Costco so.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're recovering speedily.
ReplyDeleteConfetti Squares---never heard of them, but they sound delicious!
SO sad about the deaths of Michael Jackson and Farah Fawcett. Sighs.
Glad your mum is doing better. COOL that she and your Dad text! (My parents still refuse to purchase any cellphone...let alone one with text messaging.)
Go, Red Sox! :)
