Day 31, AYAT Most of the issues I had been dealing with were continuing to get better or stabilized. I was frustrated with the ileostomy and they were working on the bacterias. There were a lot of other words in the charts that I haven’t looked up and at this point, I am not ready to. I was 31 days into my hospital stay and wishing beyond anything to go home. I do believe healing comes in many ways and when your heart is involved it’s best to go to a safe place.

Today has been a big day. At 1am this morning I submitted my application. It will take some time to hear back so no news yet. Just a celebration of getting all of that done. I had a wonderful talk today that helped direct some of my thinking and I finally started working on a special project for a woman that needed a semesters. Sewing has been passed down from generation to generation in my family. I learned how to sew from my mother and grandmother. I am kinda old school about how to do it and I feel confident in my skill. There is always something new to learn and I will listen, observe, and try out new things. It’s important to embrace change and accept help. In the next few weeks there will be a lot of change. I am excited for it and ready for fall. It has been especially cold today but I really enjoy the cooler air.
