A tough day...

Hump day and it sure was..... It began with a very rough night. I awoke in a heavy sweat about 3 am. I felt dizzy and nauseous so I prayed for strength to make it to the bathroom. I managed about 3:30 am but the good thing was that my stomach had settled a bit and the sweating stopped so I was more confident. Then the silly toilet OVERFLOWED! I panicked and called out to Sam as my heart began to race - what to do?! I grabbed towels and began soaking up the water and placing the wet towels in a large dark garbage bag. Since I have to flush twice each time I was worried so I put on a pair of gloves and went and got the plunger just in case. Praise be to God, the 2nd time it was fine.

After all the excitement, I remembered to turn off the clock alarm and was able to sleep in. Sam got the kids to school and when he got back we "watched" Heroes together. I sat in the kitchen and he on the couch. I was feeling really lonely since yesterday so he spoiled me. :-)

Then when he went to pick up kids and run some errands, I went out to the backyard and picked weeds for about 1 hour. I felt much better - my stomach had settled and thought the fresh air would do me good. I ate a good lunch with noodles, chicken broth and green beans and then it began again. UGH! So he came back with ginger from Henry's. I love this stuff.

Then about 3 pm I realized I had completely forgot tot take any of my meds! Oh no.........

After sucking on another ginger mint, I fell asleep and woke up to an empty house about 5 pm. I haven't been wearing my watch so I am a bit disoriented as to which day it is. But I made it....

The great news.... tomorrow I begin my synthroid AND no more special diet! Phew! I made it this far I can do the next part!

Sam came back after dropping off Bre with 2 slices of fresh rosemary bread from Henry's. I toasted one and ate it for dinner and it felt good so far.

I am beat! So I think I will take a nice long shower in a bit and then crawl back into my cocoon (2 slipped together sleeping bags) and pray it be Thursday sooner! It s a praise I have had no problems sleeping (except for the night sweats) this whole time. That has truly been awesome.

Josh and Bre had pretty good days also except Sam told me Josh threw up last night so maybe he and I have some tummy bug. I have kept everything down so far but I pray it be gone soon.

See you all tomorrow! I look forward to some real food, however bland, it will still be better then my special diet! Yippee! Almost there Lord thank you!

G'nite all! I've lost 10 lbs so far yippee!

PS I still don't have any clue as to the next steps. The Dr had told me I would have a scan one week later (next Monday) but the hospital doesn't have any orders for that scan. I called Marlena yet again and she will be back in the office tomorrow. Sigh. Hurray and wait. I will try a again tomorrow.

PPS the instructions and notes about synthroid are very interesting - I must not take anything with iron calcium for 4 hours after taking it and cannot have ginsing or herbal teas. I will ask about that also. I assume they mean the doctored up kinds not the pepperment and lemon calm decaff. that I drink. :-) So heres to learning about this new world of food again.

WHY is it when you are sick to our stomach those are the commercials on every channel AND the old shows on daytime TV? What a waste. I read my bible and studied and prayed instead. Thank you God for a sweet time with you!
