Something about having my sister with me all weekend was so centering, so healing. We spent the weekend laughing, talking, sharing. Having her here was like a breath of fresh air after not breathing for far too long.
The geneticist and I are playing phone tag but hopefully will catch up later today, and tomorrow, I am scheduled to have part of my endometrium removed for the Endometrial Function Test. So the quest continues, but for once this weekend, it felt like I could maintain the right perspective, and not be consumed. I only hope I can hang onto this newfound sanity.
Thank goodness for little sisters. I am so glad she's in my life.

It sounds like turbo girlfriend time--I have a relatioonship like this with a cousin,and it is always such a centering experience to spend time with her. I'm so glad she was there!
ReplyDeleteSisters really are great. My sister came and took care of me during our IVF1 this summer since my husband was gone. There's something to be said about being friends with someone who knows you like a sister does.
ReplyDeleteYay for sisters!
ReplyDeleteIf you would like some extra information about CGH/microarray, you can visit the Colorado board at IVF connections. (I have not done CGH but will be and am pushing my few little nice embryos to blast in order to do it after three failed IVFs). The women there are keeping a running table of CGH results.
Perhaps you already knew about the board, in which case I will gracefully leave...
I am happy to hear you had a good weekend with your sis. It is so nice when you have a sis you are close with. People say that about my sister and I too. A few times people have asked us if we are twins. I am 5 years older so I think that is good for me. :)
ReplyDeleteSisters are awesome! I couldn't live without mine, that's for sure. People always mistake us for twins, of course I'm quick to point out that she's OLDER :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice time!
I am so glad you had a good weekend with your sister! I will have to say I can't wait until my sister is done with college so she has time to hang out again. My sister and I are seven years apart and people always tell us how much we look alike. I always take it as a compliment as I am 7 years older...I am not sure what she thinks about it though:)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear what the doctor has to report back to you.
I only have older sisters and if your relationship is anything like the ones I have with mine, she is so glad to have you in her life too.
ReplyDeleteIt seems you were able to get a little of yourself back this weekend. I only hope this continues for you.
always make me happy to read you getting back to you, glad she was there to help you find you again.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like an awesome weekend. I have a little sis too, quite a bit younger (17 years). We're finally at an age were we can relate as adults (38 and 21), instead of as a more parental relationship. And I do have to say, she's one of my favorite people with which to hang out.
ReplyDeleteLike you, more than any other family member, we look the most alike, act alike, laugh the same. And if you think you feel complimented when people look at you and immediately say "You must be sisters!", you can imagine how much I love it! ;) I'm just waiting for the painful day when someone asks me if I'm her mom, ouch.
I also have an older sister, only 18 months older, and it's a much different relationship. I have to say, I'm a much better big sister than she was, though maybe we were just too close in age. Either way, yes, little sisters rock on!
Sisters are the best, aren't they? I wish mine lived closer to me. She's one of the few people who "gets" me. Glad you had a nice girls weekend. Hopefully that recharged you a bit from the shit you've been dealing with. Take care.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a great time and could feel like you for a little while again!
ReplyDeleteIt warms my heart to hear about sisters who are so close even though not in age. If my daughter does ever get a sibling, she will be so much older that I worry it won't be a special relationship.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with everything else, and look for me in the comments.
That is great! I just got off of the phone with my younger sister - I really needed to talk to her - and it helped so much!
ReplyDeleteYay for sisters! Sometimes they're just what you need. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteSisters are just the best. I know my sister has been such a comfort to me as I've dealt with my miscarriage.
ReplyDeleteI can relate. My sister and I are very close and talk on the phone almost daily. What a great weekend.
