Good News & Bad News

So, today was my first day at my new job. It went well. My feet hurt because I wore dress shoes and did WAY too much walking but other than that it was a good day.

Bad News: The hours they originally told me were wrong. Its not 8am to 4:30pm, Tuesday to Friday. Its going to be 7am to 3:30pm, Tuesday to Friday. UGH! They said if I really want they could push it back to 7:30am to 4:00pm. OMG! I am not a morning person. 8am was going to be a killer on me every day. What am I going to do about 7am?

My husband works till 9pm. Our evenings will go something like this:

4:00pm - Wife arrives at home.
4-8pm - Wife is bored and plays on Facebook all night.
8-9:30pm - Wife figures out what to make Husband for dinner and cooks.
9:30pm - Husband arrives home.
10:00pm - Wife goes to bed alone. Husband eats dinner alone.
Midnight - Husband goes to bed.
6:00am - Wife gets up.
6:30am - Wife leaves for work.
7-8am - Husband gets up.
8:30am - Husband leaves for work.

That means we might get 30 minutes together each day during the week. This calculation assumes that my husband gets out of work on time and makes it home by 9:30pm. This sucks!

Good News: My prolactinoma is gone. No sign of it at all. I will still take my medication once a week for the next 6-8 weeks or until I get pregnant, whichever happens first. This will hopefully ensure that the tumor is gone for a very long time but also lesson the side effects I am experiencing when taking the medication twice a week; i.e., headaches, nausea, insomnia, etc.

Good News: The prednisone the doctor gave me seems to be helping. I am having a lot less pain today. The stairs were still torture but once I was sitting, the pain didn't last as long as it was before. Hopefully, the blood work will be back in the next day or so and will tell us something helpful.
