I thought, instead of putting up some picture of me in a hospital or me with a feeding tube (!!), I’d put up a pic of me today with actual makeup on. As much as I’m still trying to process my hospital experience and living with this chronic pancreatitis thing, I’m also not going to … Continue reading Glow up!

Yaaaaaaayyyyy!
I’m getting out of the hospital very soon! Within just a couple of hours! I’m so happy! I can’t wait! I feel like a new person. I have been feeling terrible for so long, and I finally feel better! Even one of the nurses who took care of me on this floor on an earlier … Continue reading Yaaaaaaayyyyy!
I pray it’s today!!
I miss being home. I miss my family and friends. I miss my cat. I miss my car. Seriously. I have spent most of this past month in this hospital. It’s kind of annoying. I have conquered the nausea and abdominal pain and am ready to go home, but now they have me on a … Continue reading I pray it’s today!!
IVs and CTs, and Labs, Oh My!
I had to get another ct scan this morning. I am exhausted and tired of being in the hospital. I really just want the pain and nausea to stop. My ct scan shows gastritis. Woo hoo. That is not really a problem worthy of a hospital stay, or worthy of my symptoms I don’t think, … Continue reading IVs and CTs, and Labs, Oh My!
Stupid stupid stupid head….
…that’s me. I’ve been so sick for three weeks. I totally lost my cool today on the hospital staff because they have this unit attached to the er that has rooms with no windows and suite-style shared bathrooms. I hate this. It sounded like they were talking about me during their shift in the hallway. … Continue reading Stupid stupid stupid head….
So weak!
I feel like a little fawn who is just starting to learn to stand up. My legs are so shaky. I was in that hospital bed for like nine days and didn’t move for another two when I got home because I just slept. I am trying to go downstairs to the kitchen more to … Continue reading So weak!
I look crazy…
My ct scan came back normal. I am apparently not sick. Or I am, but my body doesn’t want to cooperate right now. I don’t know. Either way, I look crazy. I hate that word but I’m sure someone is applying it to me right now. I hate this. I was convinced they would find … Continue reading I look crazy…
Not much sleep…
I think I got like four hours of sleep in total last night. I slept for a couple hours around nine and then for a couple more this morning before the lab came in to draw blood. I am now fully awake and ready for my day to day to start! I do feel slightly … Continue reading Not much sleep…
So I’m not crazy! (This time)…
My pancreatic enzymes are over three times the highest range of “normal,” meaning I have pancreatitis again. I knew I was in pain. I knew I wasn’t making it up in my head! I don’t know why I let these doctors in my head. Apparently the machine in the lab was broken for checking lipase … Continue reading So I’m not crazy! (This time)…
It gets worse…
Got most of my labs back. As far as I can tell there is nothing wrong with me. I mean, I’m in pain and I don’t know why, but my blood work definitely doesn’t explain it so for all intents and purposes I must not be sick. It must be in my head. I mean, … Continue reading It gets worse…
