Eight days a week
I have been here eight days now. You may ask yourself, what in the hell is that girl doing in that room all day? (Actually I know you are not asking that, but humor me so I have something to write about)
In the time I have been here, I have:
- Read six books
- Eaten 22 meals
- Had my temperature taken 31 times
- Had blood taken twice
- Slept 49 hours
There are of course numerous numerous other fun and exciting things. But when I sit here and look at that list, it is like I have accomplished nothing at all. Only 49 hours of sleep? That's nothing.
The fact I actually had the time to calculate that list is also sad.
I really need a hobby.
Yesterday I got to go outside for a whole 20 minutes. It was about 70 degrees so my mom wheeled me out and I sat in the sun for a bit. Coming back inside was depressing. I felt I was seeing the light for the final time. I am pathetic.
Today I have nothing to be snarky about. What a crappy post. I will make up for it on Monday, since I will have an ultrasound and will have something to actually report on.
However, my doctor is on vacation next week -- the lucky bastard is going to Jamaica -- so there is not even a twinkling glimmer of hope that I could maybe possibly go home. Not that there is anyway, but you never know.

Do you crochet or knit or do cross-stitch or something? I would be crazy by now.
Sorry you're having to deal with this...
I'm sorry...that's tough! Hang in there though, its all for a good cause. I am also in the burbs and it is beautiful out again today. Probably one of our last days so make sure you get yourself out there! -Diana
I'm so sorry! At least you have your mom there to keep you company (or is that not a good thing...you never know with mothers and daughters...)
What books have you read? You should start a blog "Send Amy a Good Book" Drive! That might be fun!
Actually, I do wonder what you do there all day. :) That's a lot of time to fill from a hospital bed. What books have you read? Do you have a DVD player so you can watch movies? Has the dial-up speed improved?
I'm thinking of you and The Blob and continuing to send good thoughts and vibes your way. I'm sure it's not fun sitting there all day (laying there?), but,it will all be so worth it. Think about what you'll dress The Blob as next Halloween...
Make someone bring you some puzzles woman! Start demanding things...at least that will give you something else to count..
How many things can I demand and recieve in one day?
I was just checking to see how you were doing! Sorry to hear that you are having a crappy day :-((. That SUCKS! Well, I guess you can play some on-line games...I know Yahoo has some good WORD GAMES. I guess I would also be reading, watching movies and day-dreaming.
GOOD LUCK and hope you have a better day.
