My deepest heartfelt thanks to all of you. I just realized that this is the first time I have not been positive through out this journey. Thanks Mimiflower for the reminder. I can have bad days. It's allowed.
I did call the ONC at 11:30 a.m. EST and received the return call at 3:45 ish. Of curse I missed it as I was in the loo!
the Nurse states my Onc is on holidays and that I am to see her on Friday for the Nurse assessment and I can speak with his partner then. She also said that if I needed anything to call her on Monday. I think that she feels like I am overreacting. Perhaps I am but I also know that I am not a whimp amd the fact that I actually made the call is signifigant. 3 vaginal deliveries au natural....no drugs....1st was 10lbs,6 oz, second was induced early at 9lbs, 11 oz. The third she was "normal"weight. I know what I can handle and I think I know when I've had enough!!!!
Any how, we shall see what tomorrow brings.
Love to all
