Out of the hosp! (Again)

First order of business is a shower. I feel disgusting. I do feel better though health-wise so that’s an improvement. Yay for no iv pole! Image from Pexels.

The 30th…

An experience from this year: I had some really profound moments in therapy this year. I figured out some things about myself that led to new directions and new goals. I am pretty grateful for the opportunity to go to therapy and for my therapist, who has helped me sort out a lot of difficult …

The 29th…

A past event: I’d honestly have to say that literally any other time but this one that I’ve been sick and people have not chosen to make it about them. Sorry. A little salty today. Image from fb.

The 28th…

A game: Hands down I have to say the card game “UNO” is a game I’m very grateful for. I have so many good memories that involve that game. Some of my earliest ones involve me and my cousins playing with grandma at the cottage on the front porch. I was the youngest so they …

Pancreatitis

Hmm. So I guess maybe I should write some kind of informative piece based on information from my doctor and backed up by some minimal research. I may post something wrong here so please, do your own research and also send me a comment about anything you see that is incorrect so that I may …

It just keeps getting more interesting…

Hospital socks, an iv and a bracelet… where could I be?? That’s right! The emergency room! Waiting for the hospitalalist team to come admit me. I feel disgusting. Mom is blaming it on me and “eating too much thanksgiving.” I’m trying SO HARD for that not to be an eating disorder trigger. SO HARD. Also, …

Rough health day

I had one of those days where I just didn’t feel well. I was very nauseated all day even though I doubled the dose of my nausea meds, (safely). I had some twinges of pain in my side like I have when I get “warning shots” from my pancreas before it goes nuclear with pancreatitis …

The 26th…

A moment from today: I watched “the big game” today with my parents. That was fun. It was between two schools that I would rather BOTH lose, but someone had to win so I’m glad it was the school from my state. I guess. Haha they are the rival university to the one I went …

Black Friday!

It’s THAT day. The day that traditionally retailers in the States go into the “black” for the year on their financial ledgers due to holiday shopping. It’s almost a holiday of its own now and a day that, admittedly I dreaded when I worked retail. People are willing to do some really mean things to …
