I am so excited to be an Aunt. My nephew is very handsome. I am not just saying that. He really is. I will post a photo soon along with the name when they pick it. Leslie had him March 8 and she is still in the hospital because of her c section. Everyone is great and Mom is happy to finally be a Granny. I am going to try and get up there this coming week just for a day to set him but at this point I think I am not up for it. I can't quit vomiting. I may have turned the corner but I am weak. I think my potassium is still off. I wish I could chug some gatorade to rehydrate but I can't. Suddenly my body does not like the flavors I have.And of course I can't chug anything, I am able to take a small sip of ginger ale every 10 minutes, and that is the best I can do right now. I think there is an abundance of fluid in my abdomen, and it is pressing on everything. Dang it. So I can barely eat. I did keep down a scoop of orange sherbet tonight, and that is great. I haven't kept anything down in 2 days. Not that I haven't tried. So ginger ale is my saving grace today. And orange sherbet. tomorrow is a new day and I hope for a better one. I hope I have more energy. I went to Lenox today and had Mom push me around in wheelchair. I was too weak. We went to lunch and I could not keep it down. At least Mom was able to enjoy hers. I bought some cute floral pants at anthropologie. I wish that I could have found more. It was really exhausting trying on clothes. I tried on a few things at Macy's. I bought the pants without trying them on and will see tomorrow if they fit. I normally never do that but it was all I could handle. I got home and made a beeline for the sofa and napped and felt better. At least a little bit.
Tomorrow I really want to be outside and try to weed my front walkway. If anyone wants to come over for a bit and keep my company call me. i really might not be able to get back up by myself if I sit down on the ground. Seriously. Ok have a great night and a great rest of the weekend. Peace out.
Ellen - Do you think you could make the trip if you had someone to drive you? If that's an option, I could make arrangements to take you and your mom this week. I'm sure you have plenty of others in your life who would jump at the chance to do it too, just letting you know it's an option. We have a mini-van, so you could each have your own row and there'd be room for a wheelchair, too. I'm sure seeing your nephew would do wonders for your soul, and for your sister to see you and her son together might help her heal faster too. Just know the offer is on the table.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind ofer. I am in no way up for the drive up and back. I was going to fly. it is my energy level and I am throwing up and I need to be closer to the Dr. if I turn the corner this week, i am jumping on the first flight up. i only want to be gone a day or 2 to meet the baby. Thank you so much for thinking about that. Things have a way of working out.
