It’s amazing to me how fast kids can get sick and recover. Zahkya always gets whatever sickness the worst. She got a cold from Tristyn, got a fever with it, ended up having so much mucus drainage she was throwing up everywhere (including right in my face yesterday morning, yay Motherhood!). Today she’s not congested or anything, fever is gone and she’s acting as if nothing happened.

I met with my Gastroenterologist yesterday and they ordered up a bunch of tests and procedures. I’m scheduled for a colonoscopy, upper endoscopy, and “many many many biopsies”. A few weeks after that I go in for my pulmonary testing. The hospital did call me about my experience with the doctor with the bad bedside manner because I filled out a survey about the appointment. I was pretty surprised at that. In the meantime, I have to get a LOT of bloodwork done, sinus and chest X-rays, and an abdominal MRI. The hardest part about all this is finding babysitting since I can’t take the kids with me to any appointments due to the COVID-19 regulations. Also, I still have to drop off and pick up Tristyn from school so all this has to be done during school hours. I’m motivated and ready to feel better. I’ll do whatever it takes.

I can’t take Advil for the next 7 days. I’m not sure how I’m going to survive that. I slipped on the ice out on the deck yesterday and took a pretty nasty spill so I’m really sore and bruised today. I can’t take vitamins either for the next week so my energy is going to be non-existent. However, the show must go on and life doesn’t stop or slow down because Mommy is sick. That’s why I got to start feeling better, so I can do this life thing without pain.

Video game I really really want to play…Elden Ring. Whoa. It looks so amazing.
