Day...4? Maybe 5.

Good morning everyone! Today I intentionally woke up pretty early to get cleaned up. I was ready to go by about 8:15. I really hate having to get cleaned up in here because it's just difficult to not get my port wet, and if I don't want to cover it, then I have to be more careful. Right now I'm finishing up my vest and watching Maury. It's an episode of girls age 13-15 years old that are ruining their lives by joining gangs and having sex and disrespecting their parents and siblings. I guess I don't understand. They are responsible for their own actions, but I think the parents have a lot of influence on their child's life. Aren't you glad I'm not on Maury? Haha. Never would be. It's filth, I know, but I finished the whole Lord of the Rings series and I watch TV now. A lot.

I haven't been much up to reading since I've been in here. I was going to write last night but it turns out that after 10pm, this computer doesn't like to cooperate and it wouldn't let me open anything. Of course, I have all of my plugs in my room occupied by SOMETHING so I couldn't even plug my laptop in to write. I guess I didn't really have anything interesting to say. The endocrine doc came in and talked about possibly doing just 2 shots a day instead of the pump. I just find my pump so big and bulky. They are trying to introduce me to a wireless pump called the Omnipod, and I want that. I have also decided that enzymes are the way to go. Unfortunately, I'm gaining a lot of weight quickly in here, but the enzymes make it so I'm not as hungry all the time. They have become my miracle pill.

So I'm getting a guest today, and as of right now, I am exhausted. My nurse agreed to my dad's plan. If you don't know about it, ask him (if he even remembers). I'm honestly not up for any visitors today, regardless of who they are. I tried to go to the playroom last night and change up my routine a bit, maybe play a game of cards. Sadly, they decided not to show, so I just finished Lord of the Rings. I now have a new goal in life, and that is to marry someone that is Pippin's double. Pippin is a character in LOTR if you didn't know. He is my favorite ever. Basically I need a man with a strong Irish accent, lots of curly hair, and an uncanny sense of humor. That shouldn't be too hard to find.

There aren't any other CFers in here as far as I know. Last time I asked, the nurse said one just went home, and I was the only one left. They really don't value confidentiality in here. They drop patient's names to me all of the time. Tell me all about situations. I have a respiratory therapist who came in and told me all about the person he just had to help down in trauma, then went on to tell me all about how he and his wife were trying to have a baby and included a bit too many details about her tubal ligation and birth control regimen. I need to stop telling people I'm going to be a nurse. They think I want to hear about their wife's birth control and things associated with it. Ugh. He was too creepy.

Anywho, today I'm feeling a bit worse. My lungs feel very full and very tight, and my sinus headaches at night haven't been going away. They better go away fast because I don't want to have any type of sinus surgery at all. I hear it's painful, and I don't think my headaches are quite bad enough to warrant sinus surgery. Well, I must go. Social worker is here!
