midnight is where the day begins
you know you're rather unwell when you get a call from the doctor's office and the nurse says 'hello my old friend'. ha.
i'm having a challenging time learning to live without my gallbladder,apparently. not that i could have kept it. when i went to see the surgeon on monday,i asked and she told me that it was in bad shape. obviously a lot of my digestive problems had to do with it,though not all or i would be better right now. on the plus side,my incisions--the three little ones and the 'big' (about 2 1/2 inches long) directly above my navel are healing well. now if i could just get my insides to digest food. i feel full even though my meals lately have been snack sized. so i'm going to see the nurse practitioner on monday. my friend the nurse thinks she may be able to help me. well,i have no idea how,but i hope so. i've been so depressed about this that i've called out sick from work for two days,which i feel bad about. not that i've felt physically great,either,but i think feeling that despair and hopelessness and not knowing what to eat or what to do about it has been the toughest thing. hope i live to be 50! i probably will,but sometimes i get rather worried. and i hope i FEEL better. though at least i don't the horrible episodes that the gallstones caused me. if anyone had known that's what it was,maybe something could have been done about it sooner,but that's water under the bridge.
in better news,i dug out david gray's 'white ladder' and it's a great cd. i still can't figure out why he named that song 'babylon' though! and also listened to an old deanta cd i hadn't listened to for a while. i've also been listening to a cd called 'quantum nlp' (nlp=neurolinguistic programming) which has some useful ideas in it.
and much love to baseball...when it's not giving me a heart attack or making me swear in dismay,it's such a joy. and the latter is more of the time. it also doesn't hurt that the red sox currently have the best record in baseball,that they are playing my second favorite al team,the tigers,today TWICE, and their bullpen is a joy to watch in action these days. and the houston astros are my nl team because of mark loretta. so i watch them sometimes too.
i've been watching a lot of tv these days,having been home (or in the hospital for a long two days) this past month. sure,lots of it is crap,but i'm glad it's there when i just don't have the energy to read,though i wish i did. and sometimes you stumble some good inspiring stuff. i'm looking forward to the day someone decides to specialize in good news. that would be cool. and it would be even cooler if that someone was anderson cooper. : )
speaking of good news, everything is soo sooo green and blooming outside these days. it's beautiful.
