Today I had visitors to the hospital (yes, I am in the hospital with a Crohn's flare. bummer.) Both of my brothers and two of my very good friends (or more like big sisters) came to see me. It was a very exciting time, as my heart monitor displayed while they were here. We laughed and sang and went for a walk in the hospital garden, soaking up as much sun as possible. Mhmm! I love having the support of people around me, it helps me get through times like this. My friends, my family, and most importantly my relationship with God pull me through everything. It's uplifting to know that no matter what, I have a big God that is behind me and knows my steps even when I don't. I have had to drop out of school this semester because of my illness, but I know everything will work out and be a-o.k. Day 18 and counting here in the hospital and still not much of a plan...just waiting...
Being here has taught me patience. Lots and lots of patience. I have had to clear my mind and have taught myself better time management skills. Having lots of time to think about my life, and my future. Although many would be scared by this, it has gotten me even more excited about what is lying ahead of me. Being home, getting better, nursing school, new relationships, new adventures. Ah! Very happy about where my life is headed.
While being here, I have consistently found myself on various recipe and blog sites looking at food that I WILL eventually create. I can't wait to be home again. It will be amazing. My mother works during the day and my younger brother is still in high school. Since I will be home for the rest of this semester, I will be working when I can, but when I AM home I will be able to cook, clean and bake all that I want for the family, almost like a stay at home mom, except...I'm not.haha. I can not wait to be able to help my mom out around the house, she deserves it. :-)
