A quick hello

May. 15, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

Blood lab results, round 1

May. 4, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

As my blood lab bruises from last week are finally fading away, I have one round of results back from the lab: the antibody tests. Still waiting for the karyotype serum testing results. Those apparently take ~21 days to complete. Links go to descriptions of tests. Normal ranges … Read More »

“Have you not sometimes seen a handkerchief… in your wife’s hand?”

Apr. 29, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

(Post title from Othello.)Last night, Larry and I were doing some much needed spring cleaning of the spare room in our apartment. It has essentially turned into the "random stuff dumping ground" of the apartment, and seeing as we're hosting a large couple's dinner Friday night, … Read More »

Sorry for the delay in posting about Friday's appointment. Work has been busy, and I just needed the weekend to relax and take my mind off of all of it. If this post feels a bit sterile, it's b/c I'm battling a raging migraine right now, and honestly, I'm just pooped from … Read More »

Apr. 24, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

Pillowman was excellent last night. For a student production, that was one impressive performance, from acting to design- the set design really was brilliant. It was a nice distraction for a few hours, but when I got home, I started doing some last minute reading and research, … Read More »

I'm really not looking forward to tomorrow at 3pm. In fact, I am going batshit insane over tomorrow.There's just something about hearing your diagnosis in person that fills me with dread. And while I know that this followup could cover anything, I'm pretty sure POF will be the … Read More »

Apr. 22, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

I totally just outed myself on Facebook, with a plug for National Infertility Awareness Week. For the 500+ "friends" I have on FB, my business is now totally out in the open. Still not sure yet if this was a good idea, but damned if I don't feel better. … Read More »
