DAY 2

We're here!! Finally. It feels good to be in my pj's and hunkered down in bed. Didn't sleep at all last night. I think because I haven't been out of my Bubble World in such a long time. Hopefully tonight will be better.

Bob's cousin Christy is coming down from Milpitas (San Jose area) to come stay with us and provide some moral support :-). I always get excited when I have a girlfriend to visit with and have a nice distraction from all the other stuff. Although she and Bob are ordering pizza for dinner and I don't know how I feel about that. I have been eating turkey patties, garbonzo beans, green beans, celerey, and almonds for 6 months now so I was thinking I should get to choose what food they get to eat in front of me :-). Bob wasn't in agreement. Well, since he just drove 900 miles, loaded and unloaded the van twice so far and listen to me heavy sigh in the back of the van every time he took a tight corner, I think he deserves some pizza in the least.

Tomorrow my appointment is at 11:20. I'm ready to get the show on the road and find out what my options are. I am a bit anxious because these appointments take a lot out of me and have the potential of keeping me stuck in bed for several days so I'm praying that it doesn't drain me and I tolerate all the testing okay.

Thank you to everyone for all the prayers and support. I was feeling so yucky as we drove through the mountains and wondering if I was doing the right thing. But, knowing that I have all of you supporting me and praying for me helped me to push through it. It sounds so cliche, but it is true and I feel incredibly humbled. I do feel like all of the prayers have sustained me because typically I have at least one time a day that my body completely shuts down and all I can do is lay there like a rag doll until is passes. I have not had that happen at all and I'm thankful. I am realizing that God gives us what we need when we need it and not a minute before. I'm excited about tomorrow.
