Pregnancy...
I Now have a Picc line in my arm..attached to I.V fluids..and a Zofran pump..Not fun at all, BUT surprisingly the piccline is waaay better then just a normal i.v in the hand or wrist! ( those were terrible)
My day in a Nutshell:
-Wake up every 2 hours at night to use the bathroom.. (zak gets up with me to push or pull my i.v pull bcuz im to do it weak by myself, hes the best!)
- Once morning comes..try to figure out if i should stay in my bed all day or try to move to the couch instead..tough choices right?
- Once im in the spot for the day..i watch t.v..go online..read baby books..or text. as well as calls from nurses, pharmacys, ect.
-literally not being able to eat anything or even drink water.
-vomiting..
-vomiting..
- constantly using the bathroom..because of the huge bag of fluids im on 24/7
-Then, when the time is right go to bed. =) then wake up and do it all over again.
Im happy to say that The last couple days i started my doses of steroids,(really scary thought) and a bunch of other pills that go along with them to help control my nausea,and hopefully help me to start eating... ( which i hadnt been able to do. literally) And since these past few days, ive been able to start eating lil things here and there..BUT not normal stuff like crackers or sprite or even water. Stuff like this...
- Cheese puffs
-beef Jerky
-otter pops
-dried craisins
-strawberry gum
- piece of toast w cream cheese on it
And as of yesterday...
-2 krespy kreme doughnuts
-potato chips dipped in ranch dip
-1/2 a turkey sandwich
-And today...Some orange chicken from panda!!
....Think the steriods have kicked in yet?
Im totally going to get diabetes and gain a ton of unhealthy weight at this rate. Im just so relieved im able to eat a lil! I forgot what it was like. Im hoping hyperemises is starting to fade.. and eventually can be taken off the piccline and steroids in another month or so. we'll see!
Meanwhile, Zak has been My Rock! He takes care of all my i.v stuff, pills, sponge baths, getting me dressed, giving me massages, and trying to help me be as comfortable and happy as possible. Kudos to my wonderful husband!! xoxo
