Bag of apples

Did you think that the title of this post was referencing the outcome of a beautiful fall day picking apples?

I warn you now, it is not.

I think I am about halfway through my fertility preservation procedures and I am growing follicles! So I have 8 of these at 12 mm or more and they need to get to 17 mm. Plus there are more! I am wondering if my midsection is going to start to look like a bag of apples. I don't have a trim mid-section to begin with (though maybe that will work in my favor this time around?)

I don't know, but it's a little alarming.

I am beginning to enjoy the efficiency of the fertility place, like my friend said she did after a while. At first it was too much like a baby factory, but now I am enjoying my Wolfgang Puck decaf coffee during my brief wait in the lobby. I still find myself wondering what everyone's story is though.

I'm also trying to eat a little better these days. I don't really know if diet will affect this type of cancer. It seems like it's such a genetic fluke, that treatment is the only thing that affects it. But I figure, a better diet can't hurt. So, I am having my flaxseed and my green tea daily. And I'm trying to cut out the Splenda (wistfully, it's a painful breakup) I am trying to squeeze more vegetables and fruits into my days. I think I was better at that when I was pregnant for some reason. It's a little tough to start all this in Halloween season. A Kit-kat just seems more inviting for dessert than an apple.

At least it's sugar in the Kit-kat rather than Splenda, right?
