Hey everyone! Well today was one of the better days I’ve had in a few. After they drained over 2 liters from my abdomen yesterday, I was feeling a lot lighter and could breathe a lot easier. As the day progressed, I started to feel some of that fluid returning. :( The fluid is from my ovaries -- draining out the excess fluid into my abdomen. From what I’ve been reading, this symptom occurs more often than they let on. It’s called ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome.
Tomorrow, we have an appointment with the doctor and we will see if we need to drain it again. Please pray that all this fluid resolves itself and I won’t have to be drained again tomorrow. It’s a very uncomfortable process that I would really not like to have to experience again.
As for adventures, there were none, other than exploring the cafeteria at mealtimes. You never know what you’ll find. I won’t be sad if I don’t see another Turkish dish ever. LOL. We are quite homesick and we are so glad that we’ll be coming back super soon (the 27th). We leave very late Sunday night or very early Monday morning. The shuttle will pick us up from the hotel at 2:30 am and our flight leaves at 5:55 am.
We can’t wait to see everyone, and see our dogs as well. We heard Wilson, has taken up swimming lately.
