I started cramping pretty badly while I was getting ready that morning, and I just kept telling myself I would feel better if I could get to school and sit down. By the time I got out of my car, the cramping was so bad that I had to walk slowly to my classroom. It was then that I made the decision that I needed to go home and lay down. This happened on one of the days during our last round and shortly after that we scheduled my retrieval, so I wanted to rest up and take care of my body because I was no where near ready for retrieval on Friday. So I reluctantly left school. If you’re a teacher, you know it’s much harder to take off than it is to just be there.
Friday definitely did not go as planned, but I’m glad I listened to my body. I took the rest of the weekend easy and laid around a lot–which is not like me at all! I miss working out and being active, but I know this is for a short time and I’ll be back to working out after I recover from the retrieval. For those of you who are praying for us, we really, really appreciate it and covet your prayers! Please continue to pray for us and pray not only that my body continues to do what it’s supposed to, but that I also am calm and resting in God’s sovereignty throughout this process.
