Year 1 Day 144 (Day 509)

Hi all! How are you all doing today? I went back into the doctor today and he's fairly certain that my pain isn't caused by a ruptured ovarian cyst, but he does this that it may have to do with my sciatic nerve. He is thinking that there is inflammation around the nerve which is causing the pain, so he is starting me on an anti-inflammatory and some pain medication. The only bad thing about the medication is that it will make me very drowsy, so the doctor doesn't want me to be driving while on these medications. That means I'll have to rely on other people to take me to the doctor for the next week or so.

I've got to be honest, the past few weeks I have just done horribly with my nutrition. I know that it probably has to do with the stress, sickness, and pain that I have been experiencing. The sickness and pain, you all know about. But the stress tends to vary from day to day. I've been able to come to terms, to an extent, with Abid not being able to come online. And that being said, it's still a major struggle each day. We do get to talk on the phone a little but it's not really enough. Believe me, I realize that this is probably just as hard on Abid as it is on me, but I'm trying to remain strong. But anyways, this is playing a role in why my nutrition is going off course. It is something that I need to work on, starting now.

Today I was finally able to get all of my books ordered, I wish I would have realized it yesterday when I ordered my other book but it's better late than never. My enrollment counselor told me that I would only need to order a specific book, so yesterday that is the book that I ordered. And today as I was going through my assignment that's due in a few weeks, I realized that I need another book. So I decided to go through all of the assignments and see what books I will all need. There were 3 total books that I needed and now all of them have been ordered. Until I receive my books, I cannot continue to work on my assignments. So I am hoping that my books will arrive here in a few days.

I'm feel very tired from my medication, so I think I'm going to go lay down for a little while. Until next time.

Year 1 Day 141 (Day 506)

Hi all. It has been such a long day already, I was only able to get 4 hours of sleep last night in two 2 hour segments. From 10 to 12 and then again from 5:30 to 7:15. The reason that I couldn't sleep was that I was up in pain, my right lower back/hip are still having some intense pain. So at about 9:30 my dad took me into urgent care because my pain was only getting worse. After sitting in the ER room for about 3 hours, I found out that I have a ruptured ovarian cyst. This means, definitely no exercise in the near future because now I've had 2 doctors tell me to rest as much as possible over the next week days.

I received a call from Abid this morning at about 7:30 and he told me that he arrived safely in his new city. After the night I had, I really needed to hear his voice. So when I saw his number on on the screen I let out a big sigh of relief. But when I was laying in the ER room I had 3 missed calls from him, so I am quite sad that I wasn't able to hear his voice again. Hopefully he'll be able to find a computer tomorrow so that we can Skype but if not then a phone call will suffice.

I don't know what kind of music you all listen to, but I listen to mostly contemporary Christian music. And I receive a daily email from the radio station I listen to and they include a different bible verse every day (the verse of the day). Today's verse is exactly what I needed, because lately I have been relying on myself completely and feeling like God has been allowing so much stress in my life. The verse is from Psalm 52:9, I will praise you forever, O God, for what you have done. I will trust in your good name in the presence of your faithful people. It always seems that God provides me with just what I need to hear at the perfect time. He never ceases to amaze me and yet I forget to trust in him completely way too often.
