I am a klutz, when that sums it up without the the scary details. This hasn't been one of my better afternoons. I just found out I didn't make the cut for my old job, that I re interviewed for recently. I think that is a good thing, but of course, it is always hard to be rejected. So my mind was somewhere else I guess. I stopped by Sevi's to pick up Lily from her playdate. After watching the Brooklyn, Savanna and Jagger be "showoffs", I said my goodbye and turned quickly to head off. My feet proceeded much faster then my eyes could see. I tripped over a snowshovel, falling forward with my arms out catching myself. Ididn't actually want to land on the snowshovel that was just below me so I twisted pulling my right arm around so I would catch myself (It probably looked much like a break dancing move, that was so popular in the 1980's.) My life flashed before me as it always seems to when I fall, I think because my eyes always close so I don't see what happens. Stunned, I look down at my left knee and of course, I ripped my pants and scraped my knee. ( This is the first time in many years, but was something that happened so often when I was younger, and especially if I borrowed Sevi's pants to wear). I got up slowly and PANIC hit. I hope I didn't twist an ovary. I have been so careful the last week, and how could I be running this risk, walking on my own two feet? Feeling embarrassed, scared and having my niece ask if I was crying really made me feel out of it. What have I done, did I hurt myself anywhere else? I had to know so I called the Doctor, and was put at ease that if I had twisted my ovary, I would know it because I would be in major pain. Your wondering why the concern? Because with so many follicles in the ovary maturing at once my ovaries are getting much bigger, and heavy, they could become twisted and ultimate the blood supply would be cut off and the ovary would die. I am relieved but not relaxed, as this fall was very scary, and with all these hormones, I can say I am still worked up about it. I guess it is a reality check, even if I am being very careful, and is part of the process (thinking beyond me). As previously planned I am scheduled for my ultrasound tomorrow morning. I am going to relax and recoup tonight.
The start of the today this is what I felt:
I am feeling good. I feel the bloated feeling more today. It doesn't feel like water retention but like there are hard masses in my belly, they are kind of tight. Like a gassy feeling that won't move. I wonder if this is that what it feels like when you are pregnant?
