kjpepperLast night was rough... It was hard adjust to being here overnight. I kept being about to go to sleep and then jerking awake because I was freaking out about not waking up. Course once I managed that first time (and thank the heavens for morlock and his magical powers of being warm and soothing) I've been doing it on and off since. It's really impossible to get a good long sleep in considering they kept waking me up for vitals and blood draws. I've had about 25ish vials of blood pulled so far since getting here, and I'm half inclined to believe that they are not actually sending it anywhere for testing and that there are actually a colony of local vampires they're feeding in the basement.
Official status is that I don't know anything much more right now. I had an ultrasound in both legs this morning, and whatever lab work they are running on all of that blood hasn't come back yet. The doc that admitted me last night said one of the tests they were running was for a genetic blood disorder (not sickle cell, though that runs in my family and they're checking on that too) that I forget the name of that apparently lies dormant and sneaky in those that have it until either about age 30 or until the carrier tries to get pregnant.... yeah. somehow, while this sucks, I far prefer finding out like this rather than having multiple miscarriages. D: Much less traumatizing.
Me right now... it still hurts to breathe, and it's gonna for a while. Trying to ease through it and breathe as deeply as possible, like they told me to. I'l already sick of being flat on my back in bed, and they told me it was okay to walk around the halls, so I'm going to do that tonight and tomorrow. I figure being cranky and annoyed by everything is better than being miserable and freaking out. ;) Actually, mood wise I'm more or less all right - I has internets and books and comfort food, and various Amoeba members hanging out and putting up with me bitching and you guys sending me loving and well wishes. So... i'm gonna be okay.
And now all the Amoeba girls are in my room. Yay.
