A Tough Time

March 1, 2006

This is an email I sent to my immediate Family only.  I share this because I believe you can get a better sense of the struggle & raw emotion I was feeling on March 1, 2006.

” Just a note to my immediate family members as to my current status.  As you all know, I had an infection in my Hickman Line & it was removed on Monday.  I have been on a strong antibiotic & will be for the next 10 days.  This brings with it all knew issues.  First of all, I am trying to “learn to eat” all over again.  I am currently at applesauce, mashed potatoes, thin pretzels & for supper, I ate some boxed macaroni ‘n cheese.  I am AGAIN nauseous most of the time.  (Remember: I was throwing up every day last week until we figured out the problem.)  The medication has wonderful side affects of nausea, diarrhea, etc & I do have some of them too.

As you may have guessed, I am not much up to talking right now.  I can be sitting & talking and the next minute ready to puke.  It’s no picnic.  I am not complaining just trying to get YOU to understand a little glimpse of my world.  I cried to Oneida today about all of this … I didn’t think it would be this HARD.  I am a little down & broken today as I try to again readjust eating, drinking, etc.

One bright spot for the day, Norma stopped by.  She brought me a couple of hats to wear.  She is to bring more!  Can’t wait to see what she has in her closet because she is a hat wearer!  I hope you all understand … Lisa”
