Day 365

Wow... the last day of my 365. I can't believe it!

I have to say that for the most part, I've really enjoyed taking a picture every day. I have already found myself looking back at them, and it's amazing how the photos bring back memories of things I had already forgotten. Little snippets of things... it's great! Now, there were obviously days it wasn't so fun and I had to really work to grab the camera and find something (anything) to make work for my photo, but those days were few and far between. After a while, it just seemed like a normal, inevitable part of my day. And the perfectionist part of me is pretty proud of myself too- I honestly only 'missed' two days, so that's pretty amazing, I think.

For the last picture, I wanted to do something uber-creative and end the project on a really great note, but it's been a long day and I don't have enough brain cells left to muster anything other than this- and I'm okay with that.

I say "THE END (for now...)" because I can see myself continuing to do the photo-a-day thing. I will probably change up the theme and give myself a few "days off," but look for a new 365 from me very soon.

So, bye for now!!

Day 364

A sight for sore eyes!! Hello again, real food!

Day 363

And we're in the hospital again. After tonight, I hope to not find myself in a hospital bed again unless it's because I'm having a baby. Otherwise? I'm hoping to avoid them for a long, long, long time.

Day 362

Reading up for my big day tomorrow... headed to Marshfield.

Day 361

My reading materials for the next four months. LOVE Psychology.

Day 360

Day 359

He stayed here the ENTIRE day, after being up sick almost the whole night. What the heck! It's pretty safe to say that 2010 has not been so kind to the Olson's...

Day 358

Day 357

Finally, some good news! I got a job with CVTC!!!!

Day 356

My entire menu- includes choices for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and every second in between... UGH.

Day 355

Finally... I'm home. I spent 11 nights in the hospital, and even though the pudding caused a setback in my pain and lab numbers and I've now been demoted back to clear liquids only, I asked to go home anyway. I will have to keep going in for appointments and more testing in order to figure out what is causing my Pancreatitis, but since I can drink juice and eat jello at home, I'm finally here. And loving the view :)

Day 354

Graduated to 'full liquids' today, so I get to have pudding and milk today! I never thought I'd be so excited about pudding, geesh! (And despite the fact that I'm starving and haven't had food in forever, the mush in the front ended up being disgusting and I'd rather keep going without than eat more than one bite of that!)

Day 353

My IV went 'kaput' today, and since they were planning on taking it out for good tomorrow anyway, I get to go without since I'm drinking fluids now. Now THIS is a great feeling! It's been a total pain pulling that cart-thingy with me anytime I want to move more than 4 feet for the last 9 days. Things are looking up!

Day 352

Oh my goodness... Clear liquids!! I've gone 8 days without so much as a drink of water, and today they're going to let me have water, juice and jello! What a beautiful day :)

Day 351

Day 350

Happy New Year's Eve, hubby!

Day 349

Spent 5 nights in the hospital now. This is Berta updating my whiteboard :)

Day 348

So this is what the inside of my throat and stomach look like... pretty freaky, huh?

Day 347

Sweet visitor today, showing me how she can write her name now. Love it!
(Sorry for the bad quality photo, my iphone doesn't take the greatest quality pictures!)

Day 346

This is what I think about being in the hospital for two days now...
