New Year

I've thought I was Superman the past two days but my goodness, I am feeling the effects of New Years still, and I didn't have a drop of alcohol.

My friends were the most amazing people they could be under the circumstances.  They cooked, they moved things around, they got stuff from downstairs to upstairs, they checked on me all the time, and they even wheeled me around when I needed it.  I didn't think it was possible but I swear Meghan was worse then my parents when it came to checking up on me, which is the reason why I love her so much. I actually got to eat some stuff which did kind of hurt my stomach but it tasted soooo good that I didn't even care. I enjoyed myself, kept my foot up when I was in the wheelchair, and spent the night on the blue sofa when I wasn't in the wheelchair. I followed all the rules I was given by the parentals and it was a success.

At midnight, I couldn't go downstairs because it would have been too painful. There were plenty of offers to carry me downstairs but I was not going to be putting my life in the hands of people who had been drinking (love you all dearly but it was not happening) so I ended up watching it in my room with Amy, Tom, Andy and Meghan. It made me smile; they were all troopers to not be with everyone else but I don't know if they realize how much that meant to me.

Yesterday, however, I paid for sitting up the whole night. Where everyone else felt like they got hit by a truck due to hangovers, I felt like I got hit by a truck because I was sitting for hours on end.  I never realized how my body is going to be affected by staying in bed all day, but did I feel the after effects yesterday, and am not looking forward to the recovery of that.  My whole body hurt, parts of my body I had no idea why it should hurt. I slept most of the day and eventually at night the pain was over, just in time for the UCONN football game.  Meghan, Amy, Shannon and Andy came over to watch the game.  Or really Andy and I watched the game while the girls came to keep me company.  We piled into my tiny room, they had ice cream while they got me chicken fingers from Friendlys.  I was a happy little girl.  They ended up leaving before the fourth quarter began because it had been another long day and Meggo could tell I was tired.  And once again this morning, I woke up so swore because I overextended myself.

Today was a day of recovery.  While I was looking forward to a visit from Teddi and Katelyn, I realized it was probably not the best idea and had to unfortunately cancel it.  When it's two days in a row that my whole body hurts, I don't want to exert myself more to put myself in pain later.  I've kept food down even though I had an upset stomach in the middle of the day.  I also went through six hours without having to take a pain pill which is something I was highly proud of, even if I spent most of the day sleeping.

Shortly it's going to be my least favorite time of the day, the time for the shots in my stomach.  My mom had to go get some more today from work and I was planning on going with her, but wanted to take it easy for the day instead.  So instead of seeing all my friends from work, I heard about how I seem to be very missed there.  But the shots are coming which makes me really anxious especially because they have started to leave bruises on my stomach now.  It's no longer giving the botox look but instead just battle scars.  I'll update more whenever there is something to update.  Tomorrow I think I have a doctors appointment and blood work but I'll know if that's for certain tomorrow. Love you all
