I've been working insane hours. We have a ridiculous deadline and there are only twentyfour hours in the day. So, the long and the short.

They figured out why I can't stay pregnant. I have a genetic disorder that makes my blood all clotty. This pretty much smothers the embryo. It's treatable through pregnancy with blood thinners. The disorder makes me twice as likely to experience deep vein clots that could, ya know, kill me. *scarcastic yay*

And then...

The orthopedist says I need knee surgery. However I can't have the surgery that will fix my pain because I'm too active and I have a physical job and it would pretty much force me into a more sedentary life. So they're planning on a surgery that is more or less temporary. He says the only major complication of this outpatient surgery is...c l o t s. I'd just found out about the blood disorder the day before, so I hadn't procured a blood-doc. Orthopedist said I'd have to meet with one before I do surgery.

And all this in the middle of ovulating. We made the attempt, we'll see how it goes in two weeks. I get to give myself injectable blood thinners until they say "not pregnant." If I am pregnant, I get to keep up the injections. I'm also planning on going back to training. I've been out for about a month because of my knees.

Ugh.
