Day 59, AYAT- Part 1, I had been having fevers often on for days, and guess what another Fever. They ordered a CT scan and found a hematoma. What brought on that hematoma? Well, I can tell you I was on a massive amount of blood thinners, and my body had a history of deciding to do the exact opposite of what doctors wanted it to do. I do remember this day. I had been suffering from more nausea but I had a little bit of an appetite, so my mom had brought me some creamy stuffed garlic Alfredo shells. You know the big ones that were about 3 to 4 inches long. She walks into the room and immediately the smell of garlic and pure yummy starts my salivary glands. She hands me the container and I immediately open it up grab a fork and Spear one of the shells, Breaking off just enough for a bite. I kid you not, as I am about to place this wonderful Alfredo cheesy concoction in my mouth, The hospitalist knocks on the door and comes in. My mouth is hanging open wide in anticipation of the treat and I freeze in mid-air. The look on his face is enough to stop me so I put it down and listen to what he saying. They found something and they believe that I will need surgery and suggested that I hold off for just a little while to see if that surgery is going to be that day or the next. It was pure torture having that Tantalizing garlic aroma in the room. I thought about just licking a little bit to help with the hunger pains that had started to come on, but I trusted the doctor and I waited. He came back in about half an hour/45 minutes to explain that the surgery would take place the next day and yes, I was free to eat the food however because of the type of cheese that was in the shells, it would be best to not eat the entire thing. He was completely completely right and I was able to eat about three before it was too much.
Day 59, AYAT- today was a great day I was able to shadow a former professor and his team while they reflected on Last week's conference. I also learned so much information that my head is spinning and it’s gonna take me a while to process all of it. I’m very thankful for Professor Todd his willingness to share the information that he knows as well as help me along my journey is invaluable I even. Kind of went all fan girl on him and had him sign both the book which he wrote a chapter and the White paper. Who knew back in 2018 when I met Todd that all of this would happen? Everything happens for a reason!
