Cat vomit update...

For those asking, it was Travis that got the vomit. Poor guy. He has a thing about following people to the bathroom, and is always my shadow when I go to pee,poop or shower. This time around he just happened to beat me to the bathroom, and although it was a direct hit, it certainly required some grooming time to get his beautiful white fur beautiful and white again....I hope he forgives me! Still in the hospital, unfortunately. Hoping to be discharged today. My bloods were abnormal yesterday and my fluid output was very low. I.e. I had 3litres of saline fluid but only peed 140ml (!) so to keep a closer eye on this I got to experience a new medical procedure yesterday, the urethral catheter. Despite every test, procedure and humiliating act I've had to go through for IF, I was not prepared for the pain and discomfort of a catheter. I HATE it! It feels like I have the worlds worst places tampon in. Yesterday I went to the bathroom whilst I had the catheter in (for the other process...) and as soon as I sat on the toilet my bladder did the usual 'relaxation' thing when you go to pee and it was absolute agony. Like I was trying to pee razor blades. Very rarely do I cry because of pain but I sobbed like a baby then. Apparently it's not normal for this to happen, but I just want to get this thing OUT!! If my bloods come back on today I can have all tubes removed and go home :). Home to my fillet steak and chocolate desserts which should have been valentines dinner yesterday. Diagnosis; I saw the gynaecologist yesterday who performed my egg collection. He thinks I only have a mild case of OHSS (as do I) and through sheer bad luck I also contracted some sort of virus of stomach bug which caused the vomiting and diarrhea. Put mild OHSS and a sickness bug together and dehydration goes through the roof, which can quickly lead to moderate/severe OHSS, hence the huge hospital monitoring. I'll just be happy to go home! New furniture for our house being delivered tomorrow, which I'm very excited for! P.s. I am writing my blog using paragraphs, but for some reason when I update from my phone all grammar gets removed as soon as I press publish?!?
