Field trip!

Today we had an appointment with Dr. Cohen, the fertility specialist. Excellent meeting overall. He laid out our options, and will work with Dr. Temkin to coordinate everything. And we'll still hope for a miracle of complete reversal of the endo cancer with the Megace treatment. If so, we'd go full speed into getting me knocked up once the Megace course is over in mid-March. If not, we'll harvest eggs and make embryos to freeze. Considering how far we've come from the initial oncologist meeting with Dr. Shithead, I'm quite pleased with the direction we're going in.

Since the doctor's office was half a mile from the office, we decided to go in and hang out for the day. It was absolutely awesome seeing everyone again. I was in the office last at the end of September, and I was deep in the throes of anemia then, so this was hopefully as triumphant for everyone else as it was for me. I really do feel excellent, and I have a lot of hope (and pragmatism) about all of this. Jordan and Daniel took Richard and me out to a lovely lunch at Pazzo's -- I highly recommend the apple and walnut spinach salad. Catching up with everyone was heartwarming to say the least. Being surrounded by such love and positive energy was a real treat -- I just wish the office was closer to home :)

For the first time in days, I've not cooked anything at all! It was a busy and long day, and it was nice to come home to leftovers. Tomorrow there might be more cooking, but I need to inventory what's going on in the fridge and pantry first.

The only other exciting news comes from the tech conference that we're attending in the Dominican Republic. Each year they have a stupid/offensive costume party,(pajama party, pirates and wenches) but this year's theme is... toga party! Having taken Latin for 5 years, and having been a member of the Junior Classical League, if there is one thing I know, it is how to make some freaking awesome togas. I'm sure that Richard and I won't win prizes, as the example that was proffered by the organizers was Animal House, but we will have awesome togas that are fairly authentic. I'm a little bit bigger on actually sewing things together rather than the artful tying that the Romans were fond of, but I have a lot more fun if I'm not worrying about my toga coming undone :)
