| there i am. |
i survived.
the month of nights...
the 24hrs of nasty stomach virus i was afflicted with this week...
last night's shift...
and am now one month closer to finishing intern year.
halle-freaking-lujah
this is probably incredibly sacrilegious of me
to insert a pseudo-expletive
into a praise term.
especially on Good Friday
but the God i know isn't threatened by such things.
amen?
i had such big plans for this week
many blog ideas
many pictures to share
many lives to save at work
and i didn't do any of it.
instead, i puked
and ...had fluids exit my body in other ways...
and went to the ER as a patient
to get IV fluids and the blessed blessed Zofran
and some Toradol for the cursed body aches
and i recovered.
today i feel incredibly thankful
to be healthy again
to be DONE with nights for the rest of intern year
to be going on a date with Nick tonight
to get to sleep next to him...at night!
to be married to such a wonderful man
to be so incredibly blessed
to be loved and redeemed
this Easter weekend...
i'll be savoring my holy moments on the hospital wards
instead of at a church service
wearing scrubs and a stethoscope
instead of a fancy Easter Sunday dress
eating hospital cafeteria food
instead of a delicious brunch
but i'm okay with it.
this is my life
and i am happy.
(end manifesto)
So glad you're feeling better. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteglad you are feeling better, and if i may say so you are so beautiful em.
ReplyDeleteI positively adore that headband and your hair. Looking amazing.
ReplyDeleteI also adore your outlook. Keep it up. :)
oh gosh I totally know your pain! my dad and I both had the stomach virus last week too. It was my first time and I really really hope with all my heart that it will be the last time also.
ReplyDeleteI loved reading the last bit of this post, about how you're so grateful and that you're happy with what you're doing :)

As a once very sick pregnant women I too hold a place in my heart for zofran!

ReplyDeletei spent my easter weekend all stomach-flued! i feel your pain. it went from "i feel a little off" at church to "i need a small nap before easter dinner" to "i want to die" in a matter of hours. don't worry that i plan to dye eggs at a later date to celebrate the easter i never celebrated.
