Into the Hut - Preparing for the Assault

[whatevah.livejournal.com]

Crept delicately into the hut first thing this morning, with some disappointment and trepidation...still not pregnant, worried that I'd have debilitating cramps like last month. First task...a dose of Naproxin Sodium. No cramps in sight, but just in case. Then get ready for work. Therma Care Pad...check! Took a while to warm up, but ready to go. Still no cramps in sight. Grab a box of raspberry tea from the pantry and head out for work. Stop at grocery store to buy ginger root. Get stuck in traffic. Arrive at work, buy breakfast at deli. Still no cramps. The day is looking good so far. Get down to work. Work, work work. Meeting reminder...first sign of cramps. Grab tea and ginger and head to breakroom to make tea and dice ginger. Set tea to steep, attend meeting. More twinges. Duck out of meeting as it winds down...finish fixing tea. Get back to desk, take second Naproxin Sodium, wait for tea to steep. Login to live journal to complain about cramps. Fish out teabags and diced ginger from tea. Drink Tea. Get back to work...pray that cramps are now fully under control.

Thanks for letting me rant.

A brief follow up...I managed to avoid certain doom with various pre-emptive strikes. Cramps only got to the point where I had trouble with concentration, but never impeded my ability to otherwise get on with my day. By noon I was feelin' fine! WooHOO! **does the End-of-Cramps Dance**
