Feeling Better

Well, today was a better day. I have come to love elastic. My jeans, that are my comfy jeans, are so tight that I cannot even button them. For the next couple weeks, I am going to have to be OK with "comfy" pants. So be it! I talked to my nurse this morning about why I am so bloated and irritable. She brought out the obvious... I have an enormous amount of hormones in me! Again, last time I did not have these side effects and it didn't work, so...process of elimination...

Today was day 1 of my long weekend. I went to the doctor and then to the hospital to see my grandmother. She is not doing very well. It is strange with her, though, because she is a strong, stubborn woman. For those who don't know, she was diagnosed with cancer 11 years ago and was given 6 months to live. Obviously, she beat those odds. Everyone is amazed that this is her first hospital stay since. Again, she is strong. It is hard to know if she will bounce back or not. She has a mind of her own, and nobody will stop her. Hmm.. maybe that is where I get it from! I was so happy today because one of my childhood friends, who I don't talk to nearly as much as I should, called and we talked for 2 hours. It felt like 10 minutes. I was shocked when I hung up the phone and realized how long it was. It was so good to hear from her. My husband and I picked up my grandmother's sister from the airport this evening, and took her to the hospital. It is so wonderful that her side of the family is coming out of the woodwork, from all around the U.S. to see her. Today, I am thankful that my grandmother has family that cares enough about her to come and see her. Also, it helps my mother and I tremendously.

Tomorrow will be our appointment at OBI. Hopefully this time around, they won't torture my husband in getting his blood. (That still makes me giggle.) The song that made me smile today was "Tonight's Going to be a Good Night" by the Black Eyed Peas. That is ironic, I know, because I really don't like them. It has been in my head all day, for some reason, and has put pep in my step! ~Amy
