Patience is a virtue...but I want it to be Wednesday already, dang it

Rainbow Swirl Heels


These past few days have been rough - physically and emotionally - the physical part has kept me from emptying my thoughts out into my daily blog.

I was hopeful this morning that I would be able to call and get in to see my doctor tomorrow instead of Wednesday - that was quickly squashed.  He is completely booked tomorrow so I will need to wait.  I have readjusted my thought process and have accepted that I need to wait - I have waited almost a week at this point, so I will just need to hang in there.

Laying here on the couch this morning - sweatpants, tshirt, sweatshirt, socks and a blanket wrapped around me - and I am still cold.  If it was just me home today, I honestly think I would light a fire.  In addition to being cold, I am battling against nausea, when I try to eat or drink anything I can feel it stop in my throat and it just sits there, my energy levels are non-existent (I didn't get off the couch all weekend), I wish I could quench my thirst - both because I am dehydrated but also because I can only take a little at a time because of it stopping in my throat, terrible heartburn (have to stay semi-propped up because if I lay flat it burns horribly), and the list goes on and on.

I am also trying to prep myself in the event my doctor doesn't decide to intervene on Wednesday - all though I don't know why he wouldn't - but perhaps they have to wait until a certain 'level' of body failure occurs - unfortunately they have to play the game with insurance companies.  If he can't intervene for a more constant solution, like a pic line, then I will need to get things in order and then head to the hospital for an IV before the weekend.  I would 'hope' that my symptoms are enough though to warrant the pic line to get my body the hydration and nutrition it needs - and also the rest it needs by trying to force things into my system.

I'm tired.

I need to go back to sleep again.
