WOW. This morning has already started off 200x better than yesterday! Because I was feeling so nauseous all yesterday, we had a home-care nurse come to the house and hook me up to some IV fluids through my port during the night. The fluids must be magic or something because I feel so so so much better this morning already! I was able to keep down my first "meal" this morning of some oatmeal, which for me, is big accomplishment! Watching food commercials on tv isn't making me feel sick today which is also great, so Dad just went to go grab some groceries of some foods that sounded appealing. I can't wait til my full appetite comes back but I'm reminded of that phrase..."slow and steady wins the race."
This morning when the homecare nurse came back to turn off my fluids and disconnect me, she took the needle out of my port. So as of right now, I'm free of all dangling devices and ports. Today I just plan on hanging out and relaxing as usual. Lily and Daisy, my pups, are so anxious and keep following my mom around everywhere because they just want to help in any way they can.
So, I'm hoping today continues on the up and up and the nausea will be soon long gone! Hanging in there, day by day. Keep smiling :)
Glad to hear you are feeling better today. You are such an inspiration to all,Em. Thinking about you all the time pretty girl!!!

ReplyDeleteNever give up!If you ever thought that, please read this amazing blog because you will see all people that loves you. They will make you smile and beat a bit more your nausea or pain or sadness. I know that you are between the 95-99% of the day smiling and the other 1-5% being "sad" so try to keep it! You know that is the most important thing!
This nurse is an angel (as you had described her)! Tell her thank you from all your friends! We love people who care about you!
Thursday for me has been a great day too! I passed my driving exam!!! yeah! I'm so happy!
This week I am very busy because I have lab in college and I arrive so late at home. Eventhough I follow your blog as much as I can.
Please don't stop writing!
T'estimo molt i més cada dia,
