today I took a shower. I didnt have to sit down. I stood up and took a real shower. I didnt need help, didnt get tired, and didnt get dizzy. I ate a good sized meal. Still cant eat meat and fruit is iffy, but I can eat solids. I got the last tube from the abscess removed yesterday. I can finally sleep through the night without waking up from pain. I feel like a new born child making milestones. I have learned to appreciate the small accomplishments. You dont realize to appreciate them til you cant do them. I can now walk more than 30 feet and not get tired and have to stop to rest. I have color back in my face. I can now drink more than 30 ounces of liquid a day. I realize I may have some fall backs, but the steps forward sure feel rewarding. I have gotten back up to 155lbs. I do want to get more weight off, but 40lbs in 1 month was not the plan. Having to teach myself how to eat all over again was a long hard process, but finally the only stomach pains I have are from the muscles trying to build back. Anorexia is hard to come back from. I have no clue why someone would do that to themselves on purpose. The weakness it alone causes. I got so frustrated. As if the Surgery didnt weaken me enough, that took the cake. Im glad to be back on the road to recovery. Im glad I have so many friends and family to support me. I couldnt have made it through with out them and God. He is still my biggest fan. Clearly. I could never explain what he has helped me through with this. I have never been so close to death so many times as I have in this past month and a half. He is the one and only that has carried me through. I would also like to thank whom ever it was that gave the two units of blood. It was much appreciated. And thanks Doris Rogers. (Mom) You always have been there for every thing, but this last couple months it has been like having a new born for you too. The long days, the last nights, early mornings, every time we turn around its back to Columbia for yet another problem, another hospital stay, or another test. I hope one day to be half as strong as you. That would be enough for me. I love you.
