little things

wow, it's been a while since i've posted an udpate...but actually there really isn't much to update. things have been pretty much status quo which is nice. i really only have problems with my wrists/hands and left knee, but even these are better. i've been walking for exercise here and there which feels great. i'm a little slow because of my knee, but otherwise get along pretty well. the only change i've noticed recently is a good one and that is that i'm able to do things now without having to rest or feel terrible afterwards. we went to ny last weekend and i was able to visit many friends and family without missing a beat. i was tired when we got home but i was able to do it all! i even went to the mall yesterday and walked the whole thing, both floors, and was fine afterwards. so maybe things are looking up.

we're basically stalled on the baby front. we're contemplating our options but aren't really satisfied with any of them. most likely at this point is for me to try to discontinue the methotrexate later this year in the hopes of retrieving some of my eggs. that way we'll be able to use our own "bits" (as i call them) for a surrogate. we're hopeful...still trying to make sure i get better before we do anything.
