Day 57, AYAT - I had another fever, throwing up, and in pain. I was sure it had something to do with medication. I was too tired to work with PT and OT because of all the nausea and throwing up. I kind of remember this time and I also remember still being in a lot of pain at my incision site from the reversal of the ileostomy. I just thought that I wasn’t healing as fast as I had before or that I was tender because that place had been accidentally struck by the nurse’s hand. I still wasn’t aware that something was wrong. They had stopped the antibiotics. I was getting excited about getting out of the hospital and I had done a lot of thinking about going to a rehab facility versus going home to my mothers. I still was planning to stay close to the hospital for the first couple of weeks after discharge and my home was too far away, if anything was gonna go wrong. I don’t think this was a bad decision. I think it was full of a lot of wisdom, considering all of the things that had gone wrong and I was petrified of being too far away. My home was too far away from help. What was once viewed as a prison had become my Safehaven.

Today I slept in and it was much-needed rest not only was it daylight savings, but I just let my body heal from being so busy the past couple of days with the convention. The convention had been amazing and I learned so much I Know I am on the right track to do what I meant to do. I am excited about it and I can’t get my hands on enough resources quickly enough. In the coming week, my mom will be coming to Houston and we get to go to the international quilt festival in Houston. Quilting is one of my passions and it tickles my need for Solving puzzles. Bring on the math!

Pic is not my quilt but one I want to make.
