Bingo cards and holding out hope.

Feb. 1, 2010 by Keiko Zoll

A cryptic blog post, yes. Allow me to explain...Larry got a call from a close friend of ours from grad school about some theatre related things, as these boys love to talk about. Surprise surprise, in the middle of the conversation, we found out they're due in April, first baby … Read More »

What the hell happned to January?

Jan. 21, 2010 by Keiko Zoll

This happens every year. I work in higher ed, so January just vanishes. November is also notorious for just disappearing. Work has been crazy. I hate my job, I hate the people I work with... it's just a challenge to get out of bed every morning, which is extra hard when you live … Read More »

Dear Thyroid: You suck.

Dec. 21, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

My appointment with Dr. G was a disaster. Despite the dosage increase, symptomatically, I've felt the worst I've felt so far (horrendous brain fog, lethargy, sleepiness, coldness in hands and feet - the usual). And yet the numbers say the inverse: my TSH was 0.024 - well in the … Read More »

Brief Updates on Life

Dec. 17, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

Sitting in the BWI airport, waiting to fly home. Larry's great-aunt passed away Tuesday and we drove down from MA to NJ Wednesday night and then from NJ to MD for the funeral. I have to be at work tomorrow, so I'm flying back tonight and he's driving back in the late morning … Read More »

Yes, I’m still here

Nov. 5, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

I've just been trying to regain steam to post- I don't want to let this journal fall to the wayside (like I've basically let my personal LJ just kind of putter around for the last 3 years). Anywho... here's what's new in life:2 weeks ago: Japan was amazing. 2 weeks, 7 cities, … Read More »

Looking at things in numbers

Sep. 26, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

So my latest round of thyroid function tests have come back. And once again, my TSH has shot up, so now we're up to 100mcg. I was quite frustrated the other day when I actually went back through this blog and plotted my TSH levels over the last 6 months on a graph. And here they … Read More »

L’shana tova, 5770

Sep. 19, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

The summer of '69 (5769, that is) is now past, and we welcome in a new Jewish year. Larry and I are pretty relieved that this past year is over, as it was probably the most tumultuous one in our lives. We started the year with me in a new job, a new apartment, and my very odd … Read More »

Thyroid & General IF Updates

Aug. 25, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

Dr. G sent over my latest results, with more thoughts on Larry's SA. While the numbers may be borderline, they're ok for IVF, but he wants to boost Larry's count when we eventually go that route. Most likely will involve a modified diet and some vitamins.Latest thyroid panel: TSH … Read More »

Open your mouth and say “Ah-cupunture.”

Jul. 29, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

A bit sluggish this morning... had a very cathartic conversation with Larry last night about how generally awful I feel on a daily basis. And not just emotionally awful- I'm able to pick myself up 99% of the time- I mean physically worn out. I have virtually zero stamina or … Read More »

Facepalm Update.

Jul. 17, 2009 by Keiko Zoll

Results have been faxed to our practice, but no word from Dr. G yet.Larry called a few minutes ago and spoke to our very wonderful E, who we've learned is the Dir. of Patient Services. Larry was trying to see if there was any way to get the results since Dr. G is still in … Read More »
