Day 5/Day 6

I'm posting this a day late because yesterday was definitely an eventful one and I just didn't get to my computer.

I woke up on Day 5 at about 2am with AWFUL nausea and pain. I was seeing spots, was incredibly sweaty, and could barely make it to the kitchen to get my medicine. Luckily I made it back to my bed and passed out, but that was the absolute worst I've felt this entire time. Then I woke up again at around 8am feeling a little better but not 100%. My parents brought "food" to me in bed, though, and after a while I was feeling much better. The rest of the day I just hung out with my Dad, who stayed home from work all day to help out.

My amazing company Santy sent me flowers in the morning which definitely cheered me up a LOT more! They are seriously the best and I'm so excited to get back to work.

Dad took me to Jamba Juice for lunch and then we went to Cafe Rio. I snuck a few pieces of mashed up rice from his plate... "oops"! ;) By the way, Jamba Juice will extra extra blend your smoothie for you, to ensure no chunks. I also had them add whey protein for some added nutritional value.

When Dad took me home, I was telling him how sad I was that my best friend Jacquelyn wasn't down here with me because she couldn't find a ride home for the weekend. WELL, a few hours later I heard the doorbell ring and my Mom go "I wonder who that could be?!" I was just like.... "I don't know, why don't you go check, lady?" 5 seconds later, Jacquelyn pops into my room! My parents paid for her gas to come down and hang out with me for the weekend. I literally bursted into tears from happiness. It was the best surprise ever!

We all went to dinner at Sweet Tomatoes and I had chicken broth out of a cup... pretty exciting. Jacquelyn and I went to sleep around 10pm... also very exciting. But I woke up around 2am again in a lot of pain! This routine is getting old. I'm definitely ready to wake up one day in no pain and with a normal face! Although it does feel really good to be able to feel my bite corrected, even though you can't really see it.

My swelling definitely isn't going down at all, no matter how much ice I put on it. I feel like I could lay down on an iceberg for a night and it would actually be worse? My wrists are still really bruised, too.

I'm getting out of the house today for a little bit to go see Catching Fire! But then it's back to chicken broth and endless episodes of Mad Men in bed.
