I have this blog to document my infertility adventures from the past four years.
I laugh, I cry, I vent.
In the end, this is cheap therapy.

Little Giggles

This will probably only be funny to my fellow Infertiles.

My menstrual cramps are especially vicious this month, and getting progressively worse (something that I've noticed since I had my D&C) and I asked Casey to bring home pizza for dinner on his way home from work, since I didn't want to go out and get it (also, since I got my hair butchered, I look like a boy. No, I'm not posting pictures.)

Casey: "Why don't you go get pizza? Then you don't have to wait for me to get home."
Me: "I don't want to get off the couch. I have really bad cramps, I don't think I could drive to the pizza place, even if I wanted to.
Casey: "Where are your 'pain pills 1' or your 'pain pills 2'? You could take those if you wanted to."
Me: "Well, I've had 'pain pills 1' since I had my D&C, and 'pain pills 2' since I got my tooth pulled...if I take them every month for cramps, they run out eventually."
Casey: "Go look in my top drawer."

I went and looked in his undermentionable drawer, and he had two little lonely pain pills sitting there in the corner. I gave them to him when he slipped at work and hurt his leg, and apparently he didn't take them

Me: "Ooooh, thank you."
Casey: "You don't sound very thankful."
Me: "Well, remind me to totally rock your world on Days 12, 14, 16, and 18 of my cycle."

Hey, when you have to have sex on a schedule, you have to find the humor somewhere!

In my defense, I don't condone sharing prescriptions. For those of you don't know, my husband had his leg ripped off in a car accident when he was 16. It was reattached, but his whole hip joint was rebuilt with surgical steel, and he's got a whole crapload of screws and plates in his leg. When the weather gets really bad or if he slips at work, his leg throbs for days! I feel really bad for him, and there's really not a lot that can be done to lessen the pain.

You are so funny. I find it sad that it's necessary to write your last paragraph for all those might be offended by your sharing your meds. Someone somewhere is plotting to make a law that will make it a capital crime to share medications because of what you wrote on your blog.

Well, I am glad that the story about Casey's leg isn't new just to me. Wow!
