Surveying the Damage

Back to the clinic to see where the hCG levels are. Evelin dreamed her beta was down to 10, which would be good; we'll find out the actual number this afternoon. Once the hCG drops to zero (or at least less than 5), we can start looking ahead to IVF. There's a bit of a question about how long we have to wait before beginning the protocol, and having used MTX may mean we can't begin until November or something.

Yesterday, Evelin surveyed the damage the Tuesday-night storm caused to the garden. We lost one tomato plant, but she was able to upright a downed bell pepper. Borers or some other bug had hit the one remaining zucchini, so it got pulled out and we're hoping nothing spread to the butternut squash. Now I have to figure out what to do with all the green tomatoes from the lost plant. Martha Stewart Living had a green tomato chutney recipe that looked interesting ...

And, finally, the Hyundai is ready for its first oil change. 3,750 miles passed so quickly.... Still, it'll be nice to drop it off for an oil change without having to worry about that phone call asking if I want to replace this, that, and the other.
