More energy
Well, yesterday, things went a lot better. I was able to clean the living room, and I slept in my own bed for the first time last night. I drove for the first time since being in the hospital. It was all good.
Meleia's devotional went really well at the team meeting last night. She was very nervous, and I guess as people kept coming, she nearly chickened out. But I had a parent this morning tell me that she was spirit filled, and she did a great job. Her theme was teamwork, which was appropriate since they're building a house in Mexico, and have to work as a team.
I was able to go to church this morning. It was good to get out and to see everyone. I took the backpack pump with me, and so was able to not feel icky by the time I got home. I wore high heels which was dumb. Won't do that again. High heels aggravate my hip pain. Besides, Ciera said that they made me look more "waif-y", so I shouldn't wear them anyway.
I haven't gained much weight. I weighed myself for the first time in a few weeks, and weighed a whopping 107. I haven't weighed below that since getting out of the hospital, so I guess it's OK that I weigh that. I'm not dropping weight, which is good. I'm just not gaining. I guess I really need to start eating on top of taking in my tube nutrition. But when nothing sounds good, it's hard to eat.
There was a man at church today who noticed my tube for the first time. We were sitting next to his family. Paul explained to him that I was "eating." He said that it wasn't fair that I never got hungry, and that I got to have my lunch during church. Silly man. I told Paul to tell him that I didn't get hungry when I DIDN'T have the tube, so it's better this way.
I also was able to fix my hair in a way that covered my bald spots. My mom took me last Saturday to get my hair cut, and she cut it pretty short on top. Somehow, that makes it easier to cover the balding places. That, or my husband lied to me. But since he knows I would rather wear a hat than look bald, I think he probably told me the truth.
My parents are on their way down. Just to say, "hi." I think I'll try to take a nap before they get here.
Thanks for praying me through yesterday.

Praying for you each and every day!! Glad you had one of those better ones. We like them lots.
Personally, I think your hair looks great...and I'm not lying to you. Shooting as straight as I can. But remember, if it does indeed pretty much all fall out, remember our deal: Pop and I will be sporting the hairless look. Done it once, and even though I must say I have a scary ugly noggin, not afraid to do it again!!
Big hugs, warm wishes, and puppy dog kisses :)
I'm glad you had a better day, Evie!!
Glad you had a good day, Evie! You are in my prayers everyday.
Evie, you continue to be in my prayers. I'm glad you were able to do some "normal" stuff like going to church, driving your car, and sleep in your own bed. Did the sounds of the pump bother Paul?
