So it's Day 5 in the hospital and I'm definitely feeling down. I would love to paint this great picture that I'm strong and I can handle anything that comes my way but today I just don't have it in me. I wake up feeling nauseous and my damn arm is in pain. I look over and see my sister sleeping and all I can think is I don't want to disturb her but I'm kinda hungry. I actually slept a little later this morning which is shocking because it's the hospital and you don't sleep in the hospital.
I finally decide to get up and changed for the day before the docs roll into my room. It's Saturday so they won't be in until early afternoon. Once, I'm done I ask my sister to go and get me breakfast which is my usual grits, hash brown, eggs and turkey sausage. She brings it back and I start to eat but I'm not really feeling it so I finish my grits and push it aside. I really wasn't feeling great! I decided to lay down hoping it would calm my stomach. Well, I was laying down for about 10 minutes when I jumped up and starting vomiting all over the place. My sister grabbed the trash can but most of it made it on the floor and on my bed. I really felt bad but I couldn't stop. I just remember saying I'm sorry I couldn't help it. My sister is really good in situations like this she has that "take charge" personality. She called for the nurse to get housekeeping and explained I just threw up. She helped me into the bathroom and cleaned me up and then cleaned my bed and changed the sheets. While I was in the bathroom putting on new pajamas I heard her telling the nurse I have my sister I just need you to get housekeeping. The nurse said something and she said I have my sister, I need you to handle housekeeping. I really wanted to laugh but I couldn't I felt like crap and just wanted to lay down.
By the time I got out the bathroom my bed was freshly made and the room smelled clean. She helped me into the bed and I went off to sleep. All I could think before I went off to sleep was what the hell kinda day is this going to be it's not even noon yet! At least I can look over at my flowers and smile. Yes, I forgot to mention I had 2 deliveries (on Friday) which made my day. Having a support system and people that care about you, check on you via phone or email really helps. It's times like this when things aren't the best in your life that you realize who is really by your side (sometimes people you don't expect to be..show you differently!)
