I <3 Zofran

WOW! Who knew my thrilling medical tales would get me so many blog readers?!?!?! If I had known that I would have started blogging about my faulty stomach a long time ago! ;)

Well the latest is that I'm at my parents, being taken care of by my Mom. I just ate my first meal since Sunday (when I left my parents to go back to town to try and go to work) and so far its staying down. You really wanted to know that I know!

Mom came to L-town and took me to my Dr this morning. As you've probably guessed I didn't make it to work on Monday or Today, which makes me feel horrible, and guilty and I know I'm missing alot, but right now its just not feasible with how I feel.

So Mom came and took me to the Dr today, still in pain and nauseous and now feeling pretty woozy and lightheaded from the lack of eating. FWIW I've lost 6 pounds since Friday! WOOT!!

My Dr couldn't tell me alot, he wants me to see my GI Specialist, but he did change my pain med to a different one, and from what I can tell its helping ALOT more than the other one was. He also gave me more Zofran, but my stupid insurance only lets you fill 12 pills at a time?! Not sure whats up with that when you're taking one every 4 hours! Stupid Insurance.

By the grace of God and God alone I was able to get in to see my GI Specialist tomorrow. He is out of Indianapolis, but he comes to a town about 30 mins away from L-town on Weds. I called in and practically begged on the phone to his nurse, she called him and asked if she could squeeze me in and he said she could. I swear when she called me back to let me know I could come in I practically started crying when I was thanking her. I was so relieved.

SO we really didn't learn much today, hopefully we will learn more tomorrow. I think I am on the up swing from this whole flare up/attack, i feel better than I did but I still don't feel good. If that makes sense..

Mom was trying to encourage me today talking about seeing God's hand in things and how he always has a plan and I can totally see his plan nowe on my moving. If I hadn't renewed my lease I would be moving this week and that would be impossible. Its funny I was so upset when I couldn't find anything that fit into my budget that I liked. Now I know why. You can't always see his plan, but he has one. I am so thankful to be held in God's hands!

45/52

This week was rather lackluster, because I came down with a sickness on Monday and was down for the count Monday and Tuesday. I was super annoyed, because I had not taken a sick day since May and I was really trying to make it to 2019 without that happening! Boo!  My new coffee maker came in the mail, and it is so cute! It's like a miniature coffee maker, only makes 4 cups. It's adorable.  My nephew's 4'th Birthday present came as well. And I was a little concerned at the size of the box. Thankfully it wasn't as large as it appeared, but still a decent size!  Wednesday I rejoined life after being sick and ran out to get some free stix from Hotbox pizza and look what I saw!!!! A New DD is coming much closer to my house!! OH I was SO EXCITED!!!!!!  That afternoon I was working on getting all of my Christmas tubs brought inside from the shed, so I could decorate on the weekend. Then I had some cancellations and decided to start. I got the Piano room ...

This is My Love Story

In the predawn hours of New Years Day 2004 I was faced with a choice. After spending New Year's Eve at a local bar with a friend, I came home and through the events that transpired, I saw clearly a vision of my future. What would happen to me if I continued on the path I had been taking. I had a choice to make and within a split second I knew what my answer was going to be. I grew up in a Christian home. I was saved at an early age. When I was 13/14 on my Birthday Sunday, Pastor Martin preached a sermon about those of us who had been saved at an early age and knowing if your salvation was real or not. I spent the rest of the day and my party tormented because I could not remember what was in my heart when I was younger. That night I gave my life to Christ and knew without a shadow of a doubt that I was his, and going to Heaven. In the years that followed I continued to be very active in church. I played the Piano and was in charge of Sunday night offertory, I was t...

The Bible Recap Day 45- Leviticus 5-7 (Year Three Podcast)

Welcome back to Leviticus Friends! Today we are in chapters 5-7 and I'll admit on the first pass through of it, while listening to it on my Bible app and reading along, I didn't make a ton of notes. But when I listened to the pod things made more sense, and I got a lot more from it. Which is why I highly reccomend listening to the pod after doing your reading. TL breaks it down and shares historical and meanings of things that those of us not steeped in our Hebrew, might not know.  Things I found interesting: She mentioned that God is the only one who has spoken so far in Leviticus. Tomorrow we get a switchup with Moses and Aaron but so far the first 7 chapters have all been God talking! We talk about blood some more, and she again makes the note that it is a reminder of the fall and that God is working on rebuilding Eden. She also notes that blood is given back to God because God is the giver and taker of life.  A question I had, when we were in 5:11, talking about the rich a...
