They have discovered that my pregnancy was a tubal pregnancy and as of Thursday I was still pregnant. I had to go in on Thursday afternoon and have the Methotexate shot. This was not what I wanted and I begged them to find another solution. There just wasn’t another one. The D&C wouldn’t have worked because there was nothing to clear out - it was in my tube, not my uterus. Of course insurance didn’t pay for this medicine either. I am not quiet sure what they pay for because none of this has been covered so far. Dr. Rodriguez came in and talked to us first just to tell us how sorry he was and ask if we had any questions. I knew I had to do it when he said “if you were my daughter this is what I would suggest. I know what the ultimate goal is but right now I have to do what is best for you”. He really is a good doctor, in my opinion.
They gave me the shot, 2 shots actually. Wilson is officially not allowed to go with me ever again. :-)
I don’t look at anything they are about to do when it comes to needles. I don’t watch them give me shots, I don’t look at the needles beforehand, I don’t watch them when they are drawing my blood, nothing. So when they came in and uncovered the tray with the shots on it the first thing out of Wilson’s mouth is “OMG that is a big needle” and then proceeded to show me how big it was with his hands!!! He did the same thing the other day when he went with me to get my blood drawn. 2 strikes and you are out!!
Thursday after the doctors visit we went to Garrett’s parent teacher night to talk to his Math teacher. The ex wife was there but not the step-douche so it wasn’t bad. Although I think she is a complete idiot, she is tolerable without her sidekick. Came home that night and just watched TV, didn’t really feel anything too terrible. I knew something was going on but it really just felt like I was about to start my period. Then I fell asleep - I shouldn’t have done that because when I woke up I felt like I was hit by a mack truck. Every bit of my body hurt. The paperwork said it could give you flu like symptoms and that’s exactly what it did. We had a farewell lunch for a girl at work on Friday and I really wanted to get up and go to that but I just couldn’t muster up the energy. I will say whoever invented the heating pad is my new best friend. I’m sure it was a woman!
I basically didn’t leave the bed all day. It was horrible - I hated it because when you feel bad you think of all the things you could be doing that do not consist of laying in bed.
Saturday I got up and started moving around. I was feeling much better. Cramping was still there but the body aches were gone. Bev went and got us some breakfast and I got up ate and felt much better. Lance and my Aunt and Uncle came over to work on the new motor home. It felt good to have people at the house and have a reason to walk around outside. I just took a shower and about to go up to Target to get a gift card for a friend. The cramps are still there and don’t feel good at all but I am tired of laying around and not feeling good. All the paperwork says all the aches should be over and done with in approximately 72 hours so maybe another day of this and that’s it. The next 12 weeks are going to be hard but I know in the end it will all be worth it.
