Friday Update

I saw the nurse practitioner today. I've known her since first grade so I trust her more than I usually trust those people . The labs were ordered and drawn. Now, we wait. *twiddle thumb icon here* I felt terrible this morning but I'm feeling better this afternoon. I've tentatively scheduled for my Mother to bring me home to Texas on Thursday. Then, we'll evaluate when she will leave. I'm going to keep her hostage!!! She'll likely return home on the following Tuesday. The Captain is off from work this call schedule to tend to family so he will be home for two full weeks so that I can properly recover. I don't believe there is one certain thing that caused my illness but, rather, a conglomerate of actions. I have not allowed myself time to recover properly from my last two surgeries and I've been working too hard and too long. So, I've decided to go back to school, open a new business, and purchase more investments. I'm kidding!! This has been a HUGE wake up call for me in terms of trauma to the body and how fragile it can quickly become when it is neglected by its owner. I'll keep updating as I know things; otherwise, we're recovering and I'll see you all around the boards! Thank you all for everything! Hugs and love, Vanessa
