Michelle's path

So, remember the problems we had with trying to get TDY Orders for Nick for us to go up to Walter Reed for our IVF cycle? And remember that we got denied the Orders because it's an elective surgery? And remember then Nick got Permissive TDY Orders which means the trip is not paid for but Nick wont have to use his leave days for the stay?

Well, this morning Nick went to go pick up the paper work for Permissive TDY because in order for us to reserve the hotel in D.C. on a military base for a discounted rate we had to have the paper work.

Upon picking up that paper work, Nick was told that they dont know who told us that the TDY Orders were denied because they were'nt. They asked him who I talked to and of course this was a month ago so I cannot remember. They told him we needed my doctor to put the referral back into the computer so they can get us the orders.

So, I called my doctor to get the refferal put back into the computer and she said that the refferal is still in the computer and she needed to know who and why said it wasnt in the computer.

So TDY orders are a mess right now. Thanks military. Good news is that someone told Nick that the TDY Orders were NOT denied.

So maybe, he can get the TDY Orders and our 2 week stay at Walter Reed can be paid for by the military. Thanks military. The have their perks and downfalls at the same time. I hope Nick gets the orders. Its a financial break on us that we need. It's not my fault that the closest military facility IVF clinic is 3 hours away. They should pay for it.

So we are waiting on news about that. Hopefully we will know something today. I hate the waiting and not knowing whats going to happen. Oh boy..the two week wait after IVF is going to be interesting.

My Lupron injections are going great. Yesterday's dose was the first time I bled a little and this morning I noticed that the injection site is bruised. I dont know what I did wrong, or if it's normal and I didnt do anything wrong. Today Im going to try to wait for Nick to get home to do the shot as long as he gets home pretty close to 4. Does anyone know if I always have to have the shot at 4:00 on the dot every single day. I would like to wait for him to get home to do it. Plus it makes him feel needed. As if it he's helping in some way in this rough process.

**UPDATE**
It was false hope. Who ever spoke to Nick this morning was not aware that the orders were denied. That is why she told us they never were denied. But they were. So because someone lacked communication, we were given false hope today. BLAH! But Nick is still able to get permissive TDY so he wont have to use his leave.
