Fertile Myrtle

The surgery went well today, I guess besides the flood of tears that came.  Whenever I get anxious, I usually well up, get very quite, and just in a zone.  I've had 12+ surgeries, it's always happend.  The nurse today was trying to cheer me up, get me talking about something new, and asked if I had any children.  Ya, great question after yesterday... I started sobbing.  I choked out that I had 6 in heaven.  I've NEVER been like this, ever, I felt so bad for the nurses that had to take care of me.  I am usualy much more put together...

I woke up about 4ish, and aparently had a conversation with my best friend and my Mom....

(My husband was SUPPOSED to remove all technology from me until I was really no longer under the influence, not just lucid enough to convince him I was not under the influence... epic.fail.)





Tongiht, I was over at Suzy's blog not a fertile myrtle to let her know I 'drunk tweeted' about her giveaway....


So he's sitting next to me, and asked "what's a fertile myrtle"?  Really?  Really!  You've been married to an infertile woman for 6 years.  Wait, I'll give you a benefit of the doubt because we've only know that I've been infertile since 2007.... but really?!?

So... while trying to explain what a 'fertile myrtle' was (and going to google for help), I found this post, and HAD to share it!
