So here we go

Last night was my last night with real food for a bit. I sent it off with chicken wings (doused in Fire on the Mountain sauce), some veggies, and a beer. Oh and some strawberry ice cream... with M&M's on it... Oh and an orange cookie... and maybe some cashews.

Anyway, today's diet and activities kinda look like this:


Good times. I can have anything I want as long as it's Jello, broth, or apple juice. Then at 1 p.m. I get to take antibiotics that the pharmacist assured me will make me sick. No problem though, she gave me suppositories for the nausea. NEAT!

I also get to take this Fleet stuff, which is supposedly going to pressure wash everything from my intestines. Colonic, schmolonic... I'll take the shortcut!

Anyway, this is gonna be it until I'm back from the hospital (Providence Portland Medical Center). If you feel like popping over to visit, please let Shannon know. You can reach her via her blog, facebook, phone, or at fishgirl65@hotmail.com. She'll be able to provide updates, best times to visit, and stuff like that. She's got an email list for updates, and she'll be blogging them as well. I will probably only be able to provide drug induced mumbling.

Finally, I'd like to sincerely thank my great friends who've been sending me their best wishes. This thing has been kinda tough. I'm OK most of the time, but some of the time (like right now) I freak out a little bit. I don't know if I've ever been this scared of anything in my life. It helps me out to know that there are people out there who are pulling for me. Like I told Shannon, you have to go through something like this yourself. No one can do it for you. However no matter how alone you feel, it's a lot easier when you can hear people cheering you on.

Thank you all very much. Love you all. First round is on me when this is all over.

Excuse me for a bit, I've got a fight to finish.
