I feel better than yesterday because I actually got some sleep, plus the detox bag yesterday helps. Today I got the healing drip + detox bag, so I may feel a little worse again from the healing drip. We will see. So today was a better day.
Thoughts:
I wish people (friends) would understand what my situation is right now. I'm sick and I'm in intensive treatment. So basically my day to day life is can't really eat > go to treatment > come home and collapse on bed > watch a movie, until i fall asleep. That's it, right there. That's how tired, sick, and exhausted I am. I'm also slightly disappointed in some of my friends. There has been a distinct pattern in my life. Really sick= friends disappear. I've talked to other people with medical problems and have had the same things happen to them. Now what is important to me, is getting better. It's just very interesting. You get such a different perspective of people and life when you go through such an intense, debilitating disease for such a long time.

Well I'm getting the picc line tomorrow, 10 AM at the hospital, so that is on my mind. I talked to other people who have one and they said its really quick and painless. They are good here. When I got a picc line 4 years ago, they put you completely under with anesthesia, like a surgery. Then my veins were too small, so they couldn't even do it. I had to go back 2 days later to get a hickman implanted in my chest and then that fell out about..3-4 months in, and then I got a medi-port. Each one required being put under. So I'm glad to see they have improved their technology :P. Now they just numb your arm and do it quick with ultrasound I think?
I had some really good conversation with a fellow patient Aaron about art and life. How you look back on your life and realize how the illness impacted decisions in your life without you even realizing it. It's nice to find people to relate to and take your mind off of everything when you're getting the drips.
I also spoke to two people and its their last week here. They both feel major improvement and they look good. One guy lost 30 pounds. It's very uplifting to see people healing and improving.
I left my phone at the center! I couldn't believe that. Silly spacey neuro-Lyme brain. Mary was really nice and drove me all the way back to go get it hah.

The reason I am able to go to this treatment center is because of the kindness of strangers, family, and friends who have donated towards the cost. I am still in dire need of donations.
