Thanks Beth!

Happy Valentines Day everyone!

I got up a bit early and did my homework and i wanted to see how i was feeling when i got up and moved around--now i feel miserable..but my homework is done! haha..
I also weighed in at 140.5..I may get into the 130s finally, but this is not the way that i wanted to be doing it!
Im planning on getting back in bed very soon and hopefully sleeping some of the day away!
No plans for Valentines day , obviously...but now im glad i have no boyfriend--id be more upset that im sick and couldnt go out!
have a great day all

Oh, Jen, honey, I am so sorry that you are still sick. You really just have to rest and let your body recover. I am NOT happy that you are losing so much weight as a result of being sick. I remember a weekend when I lost about 6 pounds from being sick and it was not a good thing and my body really tried to get it all back the next week. Just take it easy. Sending and and :

I am so sorry that you're still sick! Being sick is NO fun at all.

Hey Jen, I agree with the ladies. Although it's great to see a smaller number when you weigh in, I think we all hope you're well again soon enough to gain it back (sorry guys, I may be paraphrasing for you). But you know what I mean...you will probably NOT gain it back, but we'd rather have the healthy, energetic 143 Jen back!!!

Take care, rest, and happy V day from us here at DIS WISH!!! We all love ya!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Thanks guys--
I know that it probably wont stay at this weight and thats okay with me--i was just trying to look at the bright side of something..

For some reason im feeling worse than i have been for a couple days--i couldnt even take a nap ...i knew i hated valentines day ! hahaha
hope you ladies have a great day--you know i love ya too!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

its 5:40..and ive been up an hour already...My mind was racing last night, so im sure that had something to do with it....also, i think the codiene may just wear off at this time and i am wide awake--this is the 4th ngiht in a row i am up at this time--its getting old!

Today, i may try to eat something again....if i cant, the plan is just to sleep... i have to start going to classes/work next week so i have 5 more days to recover..thats gotta be enough!!

have a great day!

Hey Jen. I wish I had a magic pill that would make you feel all better. I'm so sorry it's taking this long. If I were you, and you don't feel better by tomorrow, I'd call your dr. again. Why should you have to suffer all weekend, and wait til Monday, when they could possibly change your meds & have you BETTER by Monday, you know? Just a thought.

Take care!!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Well, about the dr (i told you, but might as well fill everyone in!)
They told me call again tomorrow if it persists..they are driving me nuts...something is obviously not right if ive been on 2 different antibiotics, havent eaten for almost a wee kand im still throwing up...The dr told me she didnt know what else to try..but she better figure smoething out because im NOT getting better and between copays and medicines and missing work, im down 200-300 bucks, which is alot for me! im so bitter

Thank you guys so much for listening to me whine and complain lately...i really hate doing that!!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

i am feeling a little better..not quite back to normal but im hoping after 3 more days of laying around doing nothing i will be back to work and school on monday ---then 3 more weeks to spring break

I have been able to eat but the dizziness is still here...its gotta keep getting better , righ t

 

[keenercam]

Hi, Jen, sweetie. So glad to hear you're feeling a bit better, though I wish you were back to 100% Hopefully you will take it easy the next couple of days and be back to full speed on Monday for school and work. BTW, did you decide on your summer science class yet? When do you have to register for that?

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Hi Cam-
I feel a little bit worse than yesterday today, but i think that is just because i probably over did it a bit yesterday because i was happy i didnt feel so sick! so back to sleeping today!

As for my summer classes--i dont have to pick until march 13..I am waiting until the other local county college puts out their courses ince i would rather take classes there as its closer to my work...
but as far as the ones i have seen , i will be taking Physical science lab ( i THINK!) , public speaking, and sociology of minority groups...im sure that will change though!

 

[keenercam]

sounds like an interesting courseload. I am sorry you can't take the summer off and relax a bit. Glad you have some time to decide.

Take it easy and feel better!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Thanks cam!!

I wish i could take the summer off since ill be working full time at the same time, but this is the 3rd summer in a row that i will be taking classes..ij ust keep telling myself t hat next summer i wont be taking classes!!!

It has been a rough few days--i feel a bit better at times, but then i go back to being dizzy and nauseous...i cant shake this....
now my brother just sprained his ankle..
plus ive been having a hard time with some personal issues, of course, a guy has a part of that--so ive been kinda hurt and quiet lately..i will try to get to journals soon

[Blueeyes101817]

Well here is my update for the day-
i have decided im not g oing to get on the scale for a few days until everything is back to normal..i am hoping to start working out again by the beginning on next week-I dont want to do anything too soon, especially since i am still pretty dizzy at times.
I went to see Eight Below today, which was a pretty cute movie...My mom and dad are cooking dinner now, so i am going to attempt to eat that without feeling sick..isnt that a great goal
After that , tonight is my tv night! extreme home makeover, desperate housewives and greys anatomy..this is the one day a week i am glued to my tv!
I wanted to say thanks to you guys for being there for me lately--between being sick and this guy problem, ive been stressed alot lately..im feeling alot better about it all today..heres to a better week for all of us!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

i feel like im talking to myself so dont mind me

i went back to school today and i felt tired and a bit dizzy, but not too bad---its nice to get back into the swing of things....but the news of the day...

i got home from school and there was a note on the counter that the mom of the boys that i used to babysit for called...i havent talked to her in awhile, so i called her right back..talked to her for a bit and then she asked me if i wanted to go to Florida with them in april!!!!?!?!? so now i am so extremely excited, i didnt think i would get back to Florida til next may, so this is huge for me...i miss their family like crazy, so it will be a nice change to see them for a whole week.
I had to share..ive been excited all night! Plus, my class tonight was cancelled so its a good day here!

 

[kimwim8]

Hey lady. Even though I already talked to you, I thought I'd stop by.

You are too cute with your counter and everything already! 60 days!!! NICE!!!

Congrats on keeping dinner down last night! I know it sounds funny, but it's a big accomplishment for you lately!!
