I'm Alive - Gastroparesis Update

Hellllooooooo There

How are you all doing? 

I just want to start off by saying that I am sorry it has been quite a while since I last posted - I am alive... just! My health seems to be on a downward spiral once again :( NOT COOL!! 
The toe seems to be VERY slowly improving(ish). Still going back and forth to the nurse trying different dressings and creams to get this stupid granulation to get off my toe. It just doesn't want to leave. Enjoys hanging onto me.... least someone does hahahahaha 

My tummy is just being a lil' poop to put it politely. I've been in a lot of pain recently so have barely been eating meaning my energy is... well.... pretty much non existent once again. Not sleeping properly doesn't help much either. I worked a 7 and a half hour shift yesterday, got home and about 30 minutes after I got home (if that), I laid down on my bed and that was that. I fell asleep (in my work clothes and glasses)! I woke up every other hour or two but slept until about 8:30/9am today with a nose bleed. Random or what? I feel no better for it though as I kept waking up constantly throughout the sleep. So, it was a super disturbed sleep and didn't make me feel much better. I spent the rest of the day in bed with the dog as I feel so lousy. As for tomorrow, I am going to drag my sweet A$$ into work tomorrow and do my best to get through the shift and show my body who is boss. Who wins? Probably my body ... but I can only try LOL. As of tomorrow, I am officially 'Team Leader/Supervisor" at work!! I really need my body to corporate with me or this is going to be extremely hard :( Only time will tell how things go. 


I'm pretty nervous though as my weight is dropping off again and is actually now lower than what it was at when my specialist put a feeding tube in last time. I am PRAYING that Mr. Pain Dr (next seeing him on Thursday) can sort out my pain so I am able to eat before it gets too much lower and my specialist says enough's enough and makes me have another feeding tube or something :( 

That's pretty much it for now as I am probably going to post this, roll over, cuddle the dog and attempt to sleep and not throw up as I am feeling pretty darn sick right now. Before I go though, I know a lot of my Gastroparesis friends are also not doing too great right now, so please keep them all in your prayers and love!! If any of you are reading, I love you all to the moon and back and always here to have a chit chat - we can keep each other company :) 

As always, be sure to comment below, and follow all my links and come chat to me. Will give me something to do when I am stuck in my bed not feeling too hot!! (There is a page with all my links on here if you don't already follow me on them)

Todays question is - What are your 3 must have things when you are sick in bed? 

Stay Strong
