Minor Setback

Well, I was doing really well until Thursday. Thursday I climbed into bed (this was going to be my first night back in bed) and noticed I had a sharp pain on my left side around my lung/heart area. I thought maybe it was indigestion so I went back out to the couch to sleep.

On Friday it progressively got worse. By the time Jeremy got home I was in tears from it hurting....my pain meds were not touching it. So we went into the ER down the road. Since it was around my heart and because I had just had surgery, they thought maybe it was a blood clot. So I had an Xray and a CAT scan. The Xray showed a little bit of blurriness on the lung that was hurting me and they thought maybe I had pneumonia. The CAT scan ruled out blood clots so they decided to put me on antibiotics and send me home. I was never so happy to leave. The whole time we were in the ER I just kept crying and saying that I wanted to go home. That is, when I wasn't getting sick. Just the thought of a hospital makes me sick.

Yesterday was a tough day. I was still in quite a bit of pain and didn't sleep well the night before. I was just so frustrated about being in pain.

Today is a much better day. I feel more comfortable, my pain is better and I don't have the urge to cough as much. I am feeling much better. Glad to be on the road to recovery. I am still going to take it easy for a couple of days so that I can completely heal and not over do it.

Since I have been home for awhile, I have been putting together my resume and submitting it to various jobs. I am looking for an 8-4 or 9-5 job with minimal weekends. Preferably no weekends but if need be I will do it. I submitted my resume to the place my mom works and a few other office/reception jobs. Hopefully I will hear from one of them soon and can start earning the salary a college grad should be earning.

Doing better!

Every day now I get a little better. I am able to lay on my side for longer periods of time which means more sleep! I am still sleeping on the couch because I do still get up multiple times a night and it is easier for me to get off the couch than our bed and this way I don't wake Jeremy up every time I get up.

I am going to try to wean myself off of my pain meds this weekend. I can now go the full 6 hours and at one point was close to 7 hours between doses and I am feeling more uncomfortable than in pain. My ribs are sore. Its odd. They don't really hurt, just kind of ache.

I go back to Target on Tuesday. Looking forward to being able to get out of the house and make some money. I applied for a few office jobs yesterday so we will see what comes of those, along with the job at my mom's office that I submitted my resume for.

Tonight we are going to skype with Josh and Crystal and JT. Can't wait to see my little nephew!
