Signing Off For the Day

Today has been day and night in regards to my health but I am still in the same room and still have no idea when I get to leave.

Today and yesterday I have had more visitors then a girl could ask for.  Today though a handful of the people visiting were not a huge fans of hospitals.  Tommy for one told me he hates them and he surprised me by appearing at my doorway with Maryellen.  Aunt Barb and Uncle Mike listened to me ramble last night for a while.  Stacey and her mom surprised me when they showed up, including a little spill because we all get a little excited when we talk.  Aunt Debbie stopped in tonight a little before my girls came to visit.  I was most proud of Shannon and Meggie; Meggie because she's also not good with needles, and Shannon because she does not have a good history with hospitals.  And my Amy had the giggles which made me smile a lot.

When Daddy came in, he stopped in the doorway, amazed how well I looked.  Supposedly yesterday I blended in with the sheets.  Never a good thing.  So a HUGE plus that I actually have color today.

Dr. I came in today to check in on me, and he was highly surprised how better I am.  He said he was expecting me still needing to go to the bathroom a lot, which I really haven't been needing only because I have been drinking so much fluids.  But he seemed pleasantly surprised with my recovery.  And I kind of made him smile when I told him how pumped I was about the fact I was able to have food, even if it's just clear liquid.  It would be nice tomorrow to be able to have ice cream but I'll take what I can.  Because to be honest I want a juicy cheeseburger but that's in my future becauseeeee..... 

We decided to get the procedure to finally figure out what is wrong with me on Thursday.  Even though it terrifies me, we figure it's what is best for me, and to avoid having another one of these tragic episodes where I terrify everyone around me.  So I get to have the joys of a procedure that most people don't get until they are in their 50s.  Might as well throw it all in the mix this time around.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the people who have text messaged, called, facebooked, visited, etc.  I don't think I can say how much that is making me want to get on my feet faster, to be able to play with you guys and not have to scare my love ones.  And yesterday/today was the highest amount of page views I think I have ever had on this blog, so I really do appreciate it.

Tomorrow I will probably make more posts then normal because I'm going to be bored.  Although I may be reporting from a completely different room because even though I was supposed to be transferred to the regular floor today/tonight, I'm still in the step down unit.  And if you plan on visiting, don't fret if you see intensive care.... I'm just in the step below that. :)
