I'm SO Bad

I know I should be in bed, but I really like my blog. Here's the thing: I'm nervous about everything that is going on right now. The swelling in my leg looks like it's gone down a lot now that I've stayed in bed so much. It's weird though, because it still really hurts, just the same. I forgot to mention that I have to do yet another 24 hour urine sample for the high risk center. This is the 3rd one they've made me do now. I hate these! The nurse at the hospital who released me told me to "get used to them". Ugh. Kind of hard to do the whole bed rest thing when they expect me to refrigerate every sampling of my urine for 24 hours. And ya know, I don't think I've made it through an entire 3 hours without peeing for months. Yes, that includes when I try to sleep at night. Don't even get me started on Monday. I have various Doctor appointments throughout that entire day! No bed rest there either.

I know I haven't really said, and the truth is no one has fully explained it to me either, but the last word I heard was that all this bed rest is being ordered because of pre-eclampsia which puts me at risk for having seizures. I don't know too much more about it to be honest. If I did I would explain this all better. I lack the knowledge myself.

If you know something I don't know, feel free to "squawk" about it though!
