One week down,
an entire lifetime to go.
Its definitely been an interesting week to say the least.
-it felt fairly short because the hospital experience seemed so fast
- I also slept through a lot of this week
-This week definitely had it's ups and downs. It was filled with gratitude and frustration.
-I hated that I couldn't sleep on my side. Luckily the last two nights I have been able to. :)
- I am super dehydrated right now. I'm trying to work on this but it can be hard when it hurts to ingest just about everything. Including water.
-I've hated going to bed because waking up is awful. I'm usually in a lot of pain because my medication has worn off, and its painful to get out of bed. It seems to get easier everyday though
-I am probably also malnourished. Another thing I am working on. Again, its hard to ingest anything, and I rarely have an appetite, so usually I am just force feeding myself 3 spoonfuls of soup.
- Today I went outside for the first time all week. It felt good to sit outside while my mom worked in the yard.
-I also have had a lot more energy today than usual. This is great. Being up, and around the house, taking a shower (which is surprisingly exhausting), and spending sometime outside felt really good.
- It's hard for me to be patient in general, but especially during the recovery process.
- I've been eating only liquids for exactly 3 weeks now. That's almost an entire month. I am proud that I have not cheated, not even once, but man oh man am I BORED with liquid foods.
-I've been so grateful my doctor ordered me to take a month off of work. Even though I frequently get bored, and I am missing out on a lot of money, its so nice to not feel rushed getting better.
This time is my time.
- I don't know how I could have survived this week without my mom. I am so glad that she works from home and can literally lay in bed with me all day while she is working. Literally any thing I need anything she is there for me. She is also awesome of keeping track of my meds since I'm usually too sleepy/ loppy to remember.
-Here is a picture from when I finished a whole pudding cup
