Another update on me!

Jan 17, 2010 21:34

Sorry, no witty title, my mind is not there. In case you did not know I was released from the hospital last Monday, after just over three weeks in there. Things were really bad, and even got worse when I was in the hospital. I can walk, but need to take it easy ( Read more... )

hospital, medicine, update

Yay for getting better and getting back on track!

Except yesterday was a setback. Got ill and barely moved. Barely ate anything at all. Now waiting for the doctor to call back, even though I paged him yesterday and called his office today.

Don't get discouraged. It's all about baby steps. Y'know, I feel like shit today. Why? Because yesterday I did alot of stuff. Cleaned house, up and down the stairs to do 4 loads of laundry, stayed up late when Moe and Nuri came over. Today totally exhausted. Because I don't maintain a certain level of exercise.

You have to build back up, that's all. And you will have off days. Especially if you are starting to take insulin. Your body is used to hording it's sugar, the insulin is dispersing it.

You got a huge scare and you are going to take care of yourself and get better. I know it's frustrating to feel like you take one step forward and two back.

You CAN do this I have complete faint in you.

This scared the crap out of me. I couldn't do anything for myself, all from losing one leg. I lost another five pounds this week! Since Thanksgiving I have lost 39 pounds, although not all of it was lost the way you want to lose it. Now trying to get back to fighting stance.

They started me on insulin in the hospital because it is easier to control the sugar with the "instant" insulin rather than the longer acting pills. My body should be used to it by now? It's been four weeks.

One of the medicines is reacting badly yesterday and today and I don't like this feeling. Yesterday made me feel a little bit like I did before I went into the hospital. That scared me. Yet my doctor has not called back yet. *Sigh*

Trying to remain calm and keep stress down, but things keep happening, including too many odd bills - including a sudden collection letter from my wireless service I got rid of like four years ago.

Glad you are slowly but surely improving - keep it up <3

huskyfriends January 18 2010, 17:28:24 UTC

I am trying to be good, but I want t o better like NOW! I hate being sick like this and being sick so long. It's driving me bonkers. I want to do stuff! **Sigh.**

owensheart January 18 2010, 15:26:36 UTC

Oh I am glad you are home and on the mend. You have so many new medications to take, that cant be easy.

so yeah you rest up and dont push too hard, your fics ar that awesome that the are worth waiting for!

huskyfriends January 18 2010, 17:26:05 UTC

Awwww.... *blushing** thank you sweetie.

Yeah, the meds are a little insane. Although,waiting for the doctor to call back to figure out why the anti-nausea medicine made me violently ill yesterday. Yesterday was a setback, that scared the heck out of me. *Sigh* Slowly, but surely.

owensheart January 18 2010, 18:25:12 UTC

anti nausia meds made you violently ill? oh I hope the doctor can figure that one out.

huskyfriends January 18 2010, 19:06:38 UTC

If he ever calls me back, maybe we can. Sorry, a little upset that he hasn't called yet. I got worried that I would have to go back to the ER yesterday.

Trying to just remain calm and handle things as well as I can.

It sounds like you've had an awful time. **HUG** You must be thrilled to be out of the hospital at last! Let's hope you're going in the right direction now . . . :)

huskyfriends January 18 2010, 17:38:39 UTC

Thank you sweetie. **HUG**

Good to be home, but there are so many things at home I want to take care of, but cannot. I still do a LOT of sleeping. Can't wait to see how classes will affect me. I find that out tomorrow. Yesterday was a little scary, but hopefully we stay on track. Yesterday was acting a little like it had before I went into the hospital.

Trying to keep positive...

*hugs* glad to have you back, hope it gets better as time goes on

huskyfriends January 19 2010, 16:09:47 UTC

**HUG** I hope so. It seems like such a long time going on with this. It feels good to at least be attempting to do stuff, although I am missing class again today because of this setback. Ah well, I have an appointment tomorrow if nothing else.

hab318princess January 19 2010, 16:27:34 UTC

*hugs* that's the way to look at it... positive

you'll get there!
