Negatives = Positives

Well I’ve stopped throwing up! I believe I’ve officially adjusted to the medications. I’ve noticed a few things.


1. I hate food. It taste like cardboard. I would rather throw up then make myself eat breakfast or lunch. I feel bloated. Food feels like it swells in my mouth and stomach so I have to force myself to eat. So I’m going to try to drink those protein shakes, instead of making my self miserable with food. At least the protein shake will coat my stomach.


2. I’m in a fog. Sometimes my eyes don’t adjust and I’m spacey. I’m having a hard time remembering things, so I repeat myself a lot.


3. Mornings my eyes feel like I have a film across them, and I’ve noticed my eye sight is blurry in the am. But I think its my glasses. My guess is my eyes are pretty dry. POSITIVE THINGS! Before the meds, every breath I took was agony. When I inhaled or exhaled it felt like some one was stabbing me with a knife in the center of my chest. Sometimes having pressure on my chest hurt. Even Justin or Elainna as tiny baby’s hurt my chest….


*Inhales deeply*


*slowly exhales*


The pain is tolerable! I only have a sharp pain when I’m walking. I can deal with that!! I forgot what it was like to not think about breathing! I’m still enduring joint pain, but every day I get a little stronger. A little stronger to do a little more. I can accomplish small tasks with out being wiped out. So I’m content with how my meds are working.

I’ve got this
