Sick Sick Siiiiiick!

i wish i had a happier blog post to make today. i also wish i could make capital letters.. hmmm so weird.

anyways.

ive gotten increasingly ill over the past few days. on friday night i was suddenly afflicted with a fever and chills. i had myself wrapped up in a thick blanket, curled up in a hooded sweater, shivering uncontrollably. my skin felt like it was burning. the next day i went to a walk-in clinic was was told i had gastritis. i was given a proton-pump inhibitor to control the stomach acids. ideally, i was supposed to feel better within a day or two. i didnt. im still having problems eating. my abdomen is tender to the touch and very sore. i feel full after a few bites of food, and i have pelvic pain similar to menstrual cramps. i feel like i have a bad case of the flu that doesnt want to go away. im miserable. i go back to work tomorrow and i know it's going to be hard. i have no idea whats wrong with me. i was sick just like this last year and the symptoms lasted 7 days. i went to the emergency room. im a little scared. i cant get anything done being sick like this. i miss work, and i miss feeling normal. im tired of waking up in the middle of the night feeling like im on fire and being drenched in sweat. my whole body aches. i really hope i feel better soon.

Cyst Update

hi! blogger wont let me capitalize letters for some reason on my blackberry so just try to ignore the grammatical error! lol!

so, the pain has migrated into my back. the first two days the pain was on the side (it alternated but was worse on the left) and i had pelvic pain in front as well. i started going to the washroom more often than usual.

now, im getting full fast and losing my appetite. i think i might have to actually call my doctor even though i dont want to. i have endometriosis. pain is now the story of my life! i have to live with that.

good grief! i wish i could make capital letters.. lol!

anyways.. im not sure what to do. had pain since sunday now. im keeping track of the symptoms because its good to have a pain journal! the back pain is most annoying when i wake up really early because of it. im tired a lot as a result.

i'll keep these updated.

Oops I spoke too soon!

A few hours after posting my blog I was overcome by severe pain on the left side. Brought me to tears. I can barely walk. After 2 Advil and 1 Tylenol I'm able to be okay at work, but it's tough. I'm definitely struggling. I'm very upset because everything was going so well. I don't know why I'm in so much pain..

:(

New Beginnings

Namaste my lovely readers! A lot of things have happened to me recently. All very GOOD things!
First off, I got promoted at work. I am currently a customer service representative but I've been promoted to supervisor! I start training THIS WEEK! Unbelievable! I owe it all to hard work and a good positive attitude.
Second: this didn't necessarily happen to me, personally, but still makes me superduperhappy: The Vancouver Canucks are in the Stanley Cup FINALS!! The last time I saw this was in 1994 when they were up against the New York Rangers. I remember being glued to the TV as a wide-eyed 8 year old cheering for Vancouver and my favourite players like Trevor Linden, Pavel Bure, and goaltender Mark Mclean. So awesome.
Another cool thing is that I got myself a brand new Blackberry gadget! It's really cool and it's fast and I can pile lots of music on it. Very fun gadget indeed!
I also got asked out on a date! Or several I guess.. By a nice boy whom I've been friends with for awhile. I haven't been asked out for almost a year so it means a lot. We'll see what happens!

My future goals are of course to continue my endometriosis treatment (no complaints about side effects yet!!) And move on with my life. Going forward. That's what it's about now. I got sick of my life as it was and worked towards a change and now I'm being rewarded. Life is great like that. I plan on moving out of the basement in my mom"s house before the end of this year. I've been unhappy here for awhile and it's time I went out on my own again. I also want to try and get a vehicle of some sort. It will take some saving up for sure though.
So that's what's new in my life right now. Here's to hoping it stays on the right path!

Love

M.
