Molar Mama Update

Sorry, another boring post about my uterus. Thank goodness no pics, right?
Went to the doctor yesterday. Hooray! My hcg levels are dropping! They were 92,900 before surgery, 6,381 three days after surgery, and 411 one week after that. When I reach below 5, that is considered normal (and I will only have to get my blood drawn once a month, instead of once a week.). Also, I had to have a chest x-ray (because it can metastasize into the lungs. eek!), and that came back normal. WHEW!

I've counted the times I've had to go to the doctor/hospital since Oct. 29th.
I've gone TWENTY ONE TIMES! Thank goodness one of the offices is only 2 minutes away! The man at the blood draw lab recognizes me now, and he said I should just have a room and live there!
