My life is focused on me, me, me. I can't wait until I feel better and can think of or do something else. I thought I would post an update on my pregnancy (or what i think is just a worm in my stomach).
February wasn't much better than January. Because I was puking blood, I had a visit to ER where a UTI was discovered along with pancreatitis and that my liver functions were way out of control. They offered to admit me but we decided they couldn't do much more for me than was already being done at home. The week following that was AWFUL! I had some sort of infection somewhere in my body to they put me on oral antibiotics, which me me sicker. My home health nurse came out and panicked at my condition. She wanted me to go back to the hospital. She dumped my oral antibiotics down the toilet and came back with an IV form. After they were gone is when I recognized a turning point. At the same time I started acupuncture which seems really hokey but I think it may be helping.
In the last 1 1/2 weeks, I have started eating a little. It makes my stomach turn in knots, but it actually feels nice to eat some. Getting better is such a gradual process and somewhat discouraging. I keep expecting more dramatic changes. If I look back to 2 weeks ago, i am doing much better, but if I compare to yesterday or the day before, I feel worse. I am now 16 weeks and have started to feel the baby move.
My goal is still Easter....
I got released as Relief Society President on Sunday. It was a bitter - sweet moment. I was sad that I couldn't be there and won't be for several more weeks/months. It makes closure more complicated so I asked the Bishop to read my testimony that I wrote. I think that was a good compromise to the situation. I feel like I just got my feet under me and was understanding what my "job" was. I also was disappointed I didn't get to serve my 3 years. That being said, it was time considering the circumstances. I know the Lord has a plan (even if I think mine is better sometimes). :)
Until next time....
