Hello all,

I have been so busy I haven't stopped by to pact everyday but my last week has been productive and I have completed the neccitites.
Tomorow I work 13 hours again so I am not making a list other than to eat properly as eating has become an issue again espescially when I am busy and since I am not feeling hungry don't bother to stop for food.

Seems like bacterial strains are growing more and more severe these days. I am happy that it's not MRSA... but staph is pretty serious too. Keep that puppy covered and take care. Yep, when I get even a little cut, I immediately cover with neosporin and bandaide due to all the staph that's gone around North Texas.

Monday... I don't feel up to Monday. I want to be positive but I don't feel well. After seeing yet another GI last week and not liking him either, I am getting quiet depressed. I will keep an association with this one due to the hospital he's affiliated with - Presby Plano - my ER of choice. But other than that, he told me to let my PCP keep treating me?????? I didn't even get a shower this weekend... that's how horrible I feel. I did what I needed for my child, but that's it.

Today: Go to work and try not to puke, grab guts or look sick or show pain. Food not an option today. Job's still new so I must put on a good front. Still running low-grade fever, gut still hurting - almost out of pain meds due to ankle (which is better now). Feeling weak and shaky.

Been sitting here for over an hour trying to get up the strength to get into the shower.


Ready or not

Thanks, Ivy. I needed a hug. I called my PCP today and started another round of pred and another type of nausea medication that I can take with phenegren if needd. I will feel better. Just one of those low days we all get from time to time. Tomorrow's a new day. Will try to start off on a positive note when patching.

Think I will head to bed nice and early tonight. Just too that Bentyl stuff, so I should get tired pretty soon.


Thanks again. Sorry to be such a downer. :)
