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 …

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 …

Still here…

It’s Saturday and I’m still in the hospital. I am still on a clear liquid diet as well. Haven’t really progressed very far. I did get into the shower today though because it had been a week, so yay for that. My hospital room has two windows so it’s very nice and I am blessed …

Waiting at the salon…

I had to wait at the salon for my friend who does my hair. She had some issues with her kid which is totally understandable so I was happy to wait. I got my hair trimmed and it’s a little shorter than I thought it would be, but still very long. I am happy with …

Grocery shopping

My stepdad and I are going to go to the grocery store this morning. I asked him to take me because I can’t drive on the meds that I’m on to control the pancreatitis symptoms and I need a few things. I’m trying so hard to live within the dietary limits of this nonfat thing. …

I probably shouldn’t…

My stepdad is making spaghetti for dinner. In fairness he’s making it as low-fat as possible for me. I still probably shouldn’t eat it since I couldn’t keep jello down earlier. It smells good though. I don’t know. I’ll probably try to eat a little because I haven’t eaten anything today aside from the aforementioned …

It’s a new day!

Hopefully, my dad is safely on his way back to Georgia, and I am committed to being back on my healthy routine. I can tell that I kind of fell off the wagon for the last few days because my side hurts and I don’t want that to get any worse. I really don’t have …

January…

I said goodbye to my dad and stepmom tonight. It sucked. Here’s the thing: my stepmom said goodbye to me in the hotel room, but my dad walked me out to my car. That was nice of him, but I have so many memories of saying goodbye to him in parking lots. The most poignant …

Happy New Year!!!

I’m up, dressed and ready for church! My dad is going to church with my step cousin today which, if I’m honest, I’m a little sad about, but I’m glad that he and my stepmom get to see his family. They invited me, but I really wanted to start the new year at my church. …

You guys, I’ve had the best NYE…

I got to spend the day with my Dad and Stepmom. My stepmom made paella for lunch and then my Dad drove us around and showed us the places where he lived when he was young. He’d never done that before with me, so that was kind of cool. Then, we went to my aunt’s …
