I went to bed on Thursday with stomach pains and a migraine (for those who have never experienced one its like your head is about to pop off and roll down the road hitting every pothole) so I had to take my lovely cocktail of Tramadol, Benadryl and Reglan to get rid of it ASAP. Of course, I was a little annoyed because it was the Season Finale of How to Get Away with Murder and it was almost over. Well, those meds kicked in and I was in LALA land. Guess I’ll be watching it again on On-Demand. It’s nite nite time.
Friday:
I woke up this morning and did my usual, checked on Milo (that’s my dog) and turned the TV on to The Today Show. Shortly after, my chef came in and asked me what I wanted for breakfast to which I had no clue. So she surprised me. I started to eat my breakfast and the nausea started. Something wasn’t right but I ended up finishing my breakfast so I could take my morning pills and decided that I needed a nap. Off to sleep I went!
After my nap I decided that I would get a manicure and pedicure today. I use to go every week but since I’ve been sick I haven’t been able to go as much but I was going today. I made an appointment (my manicurist knows I hate waiting and I like to go when no one is there) for 7:30 p.m. Sick or not I don’t go long without getting my hair and nails done. It’s two things that make me feel like my life has some normalcy. What I didn’t factor in to this time was that I’m usually tired at night so of course by the time I got out the car I was tired. If anyone could ask me what I hate the most about having AIH it’s the constant exhaustion. I’m use to being on the go and this disease will knock your ass right on down!
My day wasn't that productive but I did get out the house. It's so funny to me that I could have a perfectly good day where I'm feeling fine and the next day is the exact opposite. All in all I just take it in stride and realize this a JOURNEY. I'm just walking the walk - but not alone because I have a bunch of support right behind me, on the side of me and sometimes in front of me.
