Advents will be shipping out on Saturday!! I spent the day getting them all separated into their boxes and tomorrow my bestie @wips.hos.fos is coming over to help me package them properly and all pretty like!!

After that, I’m taking the weekend to breathe as I’ve been super sore and then next week I am working on the mini clubs ♥️♥️

Slowly but surely getting there. I am really sorry for the delay.

Good morning!!

I have a few things to get done this morning. But after that I’m gonna chill out work on getting these advents packed up. I still have a few minis that need to get out in bags and numbered but after that it’s boxing time!!!

Once the advents are done I’ll work on the mini club and regular orders! I truly appreciate everyone’s love, patience, and understanding.

I’m doing okay. The pain meds and antibiotics are messing with my stomach. I’m definitely sore but my wounds are healing up nicely. Only 2 are covered by the wound vac now. The other one is still closing but it’s pretty much completely closed and just covered by a bandaid.

I am struggling mentally. And I am taking my meds. Not being able to find a job was killing me and now my job search has to come to a pause because of this. And now I can’t do all the cleaning and stuff I use to on a daily basis that I’m struggling with feeling useful.

I have this “I’m a failure” mentality because I don’t live up to what society says I should have as a 35 year old woman but also on a personal level with things that have been said to me as a child. And now that I struggle with the day to day I feel even worse. But I’m working through it. One day at a time ♥️♥️

Thank you again everyone!! I truly appreciate it!

Ive been home since Tuesday night and it’s been a little bit of an adjustment.

I love being home in my own bed and with my own blankets and all. It feels good. I am sleeping okay for the most part. It’s definitely some trial and error to figure out which way is best to get comfortable.

I spent two days cleaning. I had to. I couldn’t stand the mess. And it really wasn’t a mess but to my standards it was. And cleaning is one thing in my life I can control and right now when I feel like I don’t have control over anything, it’s what I needed.

I had my first wound vac change yesterday. That went okay for the most part. I am having a little issue with air getting in. I know where it’s coming from, I just haven’t quite figured out how to stop it permanently. It’s odd because it’s with the tube and just annoying.

I will get my wound vac changed three times a week. I wish it wasn’t that much. I get it, but that’s annoying! My skin is super irritated. It’s not happy. Estimated that I’ll be wearing this for 4 weeks. So yay me! I get why I need this but stitches would have been cool!

The pain meds I was given I am saving for days I get my wound vac changed and days where the pain is so bad because they didn’t give me enough. And Tylenol is okay. Definitely could have used something stronger for the day to day than over the counter crap.

Otherwise all is well. I’m trying to just chill and rest a bit. Get some much needed sleep. And that’s all really. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hope everyone has a great weekend. Photo of my puppy.

Got my wound vac, Tylenol, and knitting. I’m relaxing for the rest of the day!

Leaving the hospital was a disaster. They forgot my wound vac and it took 3 hours to get it and the paperwork I had to sign for it. I wasn’t able to get my meds last night. It was just horrible.

Jaiden and I walked to Walgreens this morning (it’s around the corner) to get my meds. (Should I have walked? IDK, but the fresh air felt so good) Walgreens is stupid BTW. They don’t fill things you can buy over the counter. I have it go through the insurance because I am broke and my insurance will pay for it thank you!!! Anyways… I came back home and went back to sleep.

I got up and made my bed, that was a challenge. I cleaned up my dresser. Went through all the mail. Got everything unpacked and away. Got changed. And now I’m chilling in bed.

Jaiden’s gonna help with dinner so that will be great. I’ll do the seasoning and rice and he’s gonna cook the wings.

It’s nice to be home. I’m gonna take a few days to get comfortable and back on track with my cleaning and just to relax. And then I’ll get back to work and all in a few days.

Thank you everyone for all your love and support!! This has been so exhausting but I’m so happy to be home and healing.

IM GOING HOME!!!

I finished my last round of IV antibiotics. I got my pain medicine and got my wound vac changed with minimal pain. I just need to get my pick line removed and the wound vac that I’ll be taking home connected.

The wound nurse thinks I’ll have to wear the wound vac for about 4 weeks.

Thank you everyone for all your support! I’m so ready to get out of here!

No real update.

I got the wound vac back on last night. Getting it on was nothing but clearly the trauma of getting it off sent me into panic. I did have my nurse come back in and explain things to me a second time because I forgot everything she said the first time around. Haha

I got to see my wounds yesterday. I have 3 open wounds. One is about 4 inches long and it’s pretty much the first layer of skin missing. Another one is about 3 inches long and barely opens but the third is about 3 inches long and pretty deep!

I’m still waiting to see the doctor. Today is his first day back and he’s been making rounds to all the patients. I’ve been told he’s very thorough and takes his time but I won’t lie, I’m growing impatient. I’ve been here 9 days and I want to know what the plan is!

I do have a migraine. I’ve been laying here in the dark for about two hours and have had ice on my eyes for about an hour.

I got to shower this morning and wash my hair. That felt great!

I got a bit done on Jaiden’s socks. He’s happy about that. I stared where the waffle stitch marker is. I wanna do more but my head is killing me. My arm is no longer swollen. Still a little tender in some spots but it feels like the clot has went away.

Thank you to those who donated to the “Buy me a coffee” link. I was able to order dog food which was much needed! And thank you to those who ordered!

I’m so ready to get home and get back to work! I miss dyeing!

Hope everyone has had a great Monday!
