Day 56, AYAT - I was still recovering from the reversal of the Ileostomy. For the most part I was doing well but I had a fever a few nights before and chills when the ID doc visited. My stats were doing well but my white blood count was creeping up. I was sure it was some of the pain meds and started refusing anything but Tylenol. We were hoping I would be well enough to be discharged soon.

Today: I woke up with aches and pains so I took some Tylenol and had some breakfast. My best friend’s son was eager to play games and we played "The Floor is Lava." My dear husband ordered lunch for us, His romantic way of taking care of me while I am out of town. He also ordered me some Airborne which was so helpful and allowed me to gain some of my energy back. My BF son was also feeling a little under the weather and they laid down for a little bit. I worked on some research to prepare for a video call coming up. I am over the moon with excitement about it. While I was jotting down ideas and resources I started falling asleep so I spent the afternoon in an unconscious state dreaming and healing. Several hours later I woke up and felt a 100 times better. Sleep is a wonderful healer. It has been such a wonderful unexpected week and I am sooooo excited about all that I have learned and where I am going with it. More on that later. If you had asked me a year ago where I thought I would be now, I don't know what my answer would be but I don't think this would have come up. So much has happened and although this was not completely out of the question, I didn't have this in the front of my mind. I finally feel like I have found my calling, almost all of the pieces that is. There may be more that comes up but for now, I feel like I am on the path I was meant to be on. Thank you Dear husband for your support. I couldn't have done this without you.
