I Would Say I'm Doing Just Fine

Surprisingly, I'm in a pretty good mood right now.
I have been having mood swings, for obvious reasons.
Plus I was going to take my depression medicine but then I got acid reflux and couldn't swallow the pills.
I slept a lot a lot today, but now at least I feel rested for once.
It will take me awhile to fall asleep, but it's okay as long as my mood is okay.
I was actually able to eat a little more normally today.
I had breakfast, and then fell asleep again.
I was kind of dizzy so I took my medicine for when I get dizzy when I ate lunch.
I was craving Chinese food, so we went to this Chinese buffet so I could choose whatever I wanted.
I picked what appealed to me, and I ate it, and was able to enjoy the food for once in a blue moon.
I even had a little bit of coffee flavored ice cream for dessert.
After that my mom and I worked on my grandma's get well presents and my grandpa's birthday presents and photos from my bedroom.
Then I came down with heartburn, which is odd because I've been taking antacids every day, three times a day.
It was like burning between my chest and my throat, and the feeling that I just wanted to spit the acid away.
I went to the bathroom and gagged for like a minute, but then pulled myself away, because I'm finally realizing that I have the strength to fight through the nausea, unless it's getting really really super bad that is.
My mom took me to get a snack, a fudge brownie cream ice, which I was able to eat too, except there were no brownie pieces in it which was kind of sad.
I fell asleep again when I got home.
I woke up and was able to eat dinner, and a normal sized dinner at that.
I even had dessert again, Oreos, the Halloween ones with the orange icing.
You're probably thinking that all I eat is junk since that's what I talk about, but really I just don't want to trigger anyone with my meal descriptions, calories, portion sizes or anything.
Yes, I can eat dessert and not flip out or even think twice.
I just let my mom read all of my blog posts.
I wasn't sure who all I was going to share my blog with, but she lives with me, so she knows basically how I'm feeling anyway.
Right now I'm having extreme hot flashes and a temperature of around 100.5.
I'm going to start taking my vitamins tonight with the extra iron.
I realized that I can't take them with my antacids, so I have to wait until bed time.
Well the next few days are going to be eventful, which I am looking forward to.
Monday I'm giving my grandma her get well presents and hanging out with them and hopefully with my boyfriend.
I'm going to try to get my grandma to color with me in the Hello Kitty coloring books I got us and let her sit with her leg up.
I'm also going to try to go for a walk with my grandpa, or even just walk down to the stop sign with my grandma to give her a chance to stretch her legs and back
Tuesday I'm giving my grandpa his birthday present from me, which is a picture collage.
By the way, they're playing David Guetta on the radio and I love David Guetta and his music.
But anyway, then hopefully he will go out to eat for his birthday with me and my grandma.
My dad has off that day, and always blabs about going here or there but never does.
He might come with us.
My mom has to work, unfortunately, but I invited my boyfriend if he wants to come if my dad doesn't end up staying sedentary.
Then Wednesday morning I meet with my new GI doctor in this big hospital place about an hour away.
I'm stuck switching from pediatrics to adult stuff, since I'm eighteen.
It's kind of sad because I really like my old GI doctor, and he's seen me through a lot.
He actually did my colonoscopy and endoscopy, admitted me for my feeding tube, did a million emergency weekend calls with me, and talked me through a lot.
I hated him in the beginning, but he is such a good doctor.
He also found out that I had delayed gastric emptying and called my house that exact night to tell my mom because he was happy to have found an answer to some of my pain.
He worked with my through my IBS, acid reflux, intestinal bacterial infections, many medicine changes, etc.
So needless to say I'm going to miss him but I'm giving him a good bye present in January when I see him one last time which is a copy of my book I wrote for my senior project.
I really hope I can keep my treatment team, the rest of them, for awhile, because in a patient - doctor relationship, I love them.
I have great doctors, and as much as I say they annoy me or whatever, they mean the best and care about me.
I'm so thankful that right now I'm not nauseous.
I'm a little bit bloated and uncomfortable, but that's better than feeling like I have to throw up at least.
At least things are looking okay for right now.
