No longer starving: An update

Posted in At the Doctor's, Boston, Hope, Life, mito, Raising Awareness, reality, Realizations, Tummy troubles on 15 March 2011| 1 Comment »

[This is Part 1 of my No Longer Starving series, a belated editorial for Feeding Tube Awareness Week.]

Today I went to see my tummy doc for the second time since I got out of the hospital in January. In honor of that visit, I’m going to start off what I intended to be my series on Feeding Tubes for Feeding Tube Awareness Week back in February. As one of the newest inductees in the tubie world, I want to take you on a journey. A journey through feeding tubes, why they’re necessary, and who may have one. But I’ll start it off with a bit on today’s visit and an update on our progress and my current state.

As you may have noticed, I’ve been mostly absent from the internet for over two weeks now. Following an internet snafu at our apartment that took far too long to remedy (thank you, Comcast…), I’m baaaack! And we are now the proud owners of a land-line with a Massachusetts phone number! Yahoo!

It was almost as if I were back in the 1990s! And I loved it!

But now that I’m back, I’ll give you a brief update on the last 18 days, you know, in the few hours I wasn’t catching up on sleep! 😛

About 7 hours after I posted my last blog, I was finally settled in my room. By that time, my temperature had started rising. Before I fell asleep (around 8:30pm), my temperature had risen to 100.6. That’s nothing, my body told the nurses, just you wait and see! But the next vitals (around midnight), my temperature had risen to 101.8. I can’t still do better than that. My temperature at 4am was 102.4 and rising. Almost there… I hit 103.2 before it started going back down.

But my temperature wasn’t what really had them worried.
