   In unrelated news, Rob and I went to Vegas this weekend.  He had an orientation with the Vegas Metro Police! All I had to do was drop him off at some ungodly hour in the morning, but he was put through the Physical Fitness ringer!  I guess the Metro Academy there is one of the toughest in the country, so they want to make sure recruits know what they're getting into before they proceed with the hiring process.  If you cant get through that first PT during orientation, you're automatically out!  Luckily Rob is in great shape and had no problem.  Apparently around 1900 people sent in applications for the 30 positions that are going to be opened in the Academy.  Of those, only 600 and some change actually signed up for the first orientation.  So far over 100 have not passed the orientation.  Of the 55 that were scheduled in Robs particular orientation, only 26 showed up.  If that's the general trend here, I am REALLY liking these od...

Arg.  Another example of why I changed Dr's. Today I had a follow up for my last hospital visit a month ago.  I had to see my old Dr. instead of my new one cause he was the first available.  I know, right?  Appearantly they are pretty busy over there.  Good thing it wasn't all that important.  Anyway, I went in today.  I was the first appointment of the day.  I still had to wait 30 minutes before the Dr came in!!!  How do you figure???  Then he finally comes in and just starts talking at me.   *Backstory- Last month I went to the urgent care cause I was bleeding heavily.  Like, extremely heavily, and it wouldnt stop.  They sent me to the emergency room cause they wanted to do an ultrasound, but didnt have the tech there that day.  I went to the emergency room where they did a pregnancy test first, it was negative, so they said there was no need for an ultrasound.  It was just a hormone imbalance.  Cue med...

So, I decided that since I took the last of my blood tests last week, it would be a safe bet that I could call and get some of the results from them. So I called, and had to wait for a call back from the nurse. She finally called and told me that the last time I took my progesterone test it was a 0.8, and this time it was a little bit higher, but still low, at 1.5. Now, I dont really know what normal levels are, but I heard it was somewhere between 8-10, and thats just me remembering badly something I read a while ago. Anyone have any knowledge on that area? The other two hormones they tested me for on the 3rd she said were elevated. Now I dont know if thats good or bad, or even what they were...anyone know of the other two main hormones they generally check for with these kinds of things? And is elevated bad? I guess it would be hard to say without knowing what they are, huh? So, I have to go back in a week and take that blood test again. Seriously, I'm not one to feel o...
