it's tuesday and, i think most of you know - but if you don't, my fifth day in the hospital.
i know - SHOCKER.
on thursday night i called my mom in tears because i was in so much pain from my headache (worse than ever) and friday morning we came to the ER on my doc's suggestion. and then i got admitted.
it's been a really long five days. i've been poked a lot to start new iv's (there has to be a better way to accomplish this, really) and i'm starting to get pretty stiff from laying around. i'm really sick of watching tv but tonight is the first night it isn't hurting really bad to move my eyes to do something else.
i have to say thank you to my doctors, especially my primary care dr. l and to the migraine specialist dr. r. they're neighbors! and if it wasn't for dr. r's husband doc gonzalez - i don't know what would be happening to me. all three of these docs have gone out of their way to take care of me (as in, they aren't technically on my team) and to make sure i'm feeling as comfortable as i can.
my team - the neuros lets call them - is also pretty fab. although it's taking a long time to figure out how to treat the migraine, it's finally working and that is one giant blessing to me. i know that i should be grateful to be in such a wonderful hospital getting better and i am. i just wish i could go home now, thanks...
one of the things that i've learned while being in here is that i am really glad that i'm not a nurse. as lovely (for the most part) as these women have been to me, i really don't want their job. i'll take a crazy bridezilla over catching puke in a bucket any day. but i do owe nancy a huge thank you for doing that for me. :)
i've also learned that i'm really glad that i moved home last year to have my family so close to me. and i'm lucky that my family that is far away is checking in on me daily. it's nice to know that so many people want me to feel better. (that sounded totally wrong. i hope you know what i'm trying to say!) i really have the best family and friends in iowa.
since i've had some free time (five days worth) i've also been looking online for a spring wardrobe update. here's what i'm currently lusting over -
i would like everything. the jacket, the jeans, the sweater. all from anthro, of course.
LOVING this skirt, belt and necklace.
similar to the first, but looks perfect for a spring day in the studio!
and because i'm a sucker for a nice handbag, my fingers did some shopping at my favorite, kate spade:
this is love. and it might be a present to myself :)
beautiful and practical. perfect.
that's all i've got for tonight. i'm watching the state of the union (yay obama!) and then it'll be on to parenthood and teen mom. oh, and my next treatment.
cross your fingers i break out soon...
