Busy day at rehab

I had a very eventful day at rehab today. I started treatment in physical and occupational therapy and had a speech therapy eval. I worked really hard today.im so sore. The best part of today was this evening. My twin sister came to visit me and she surprised me by signing me out for an hour and takin me for icecream. I have the best sister ever. Im so tired now though. See you later!

Rehab finally

I finally got out of jersey shore today. Now im rehabin it up at meridian rehabilitation. I didnt start any therapy today since it was the first day. I look forward to doing the therapy because i need it very much. It is going to be a lot of work, but its worth the benefit in the end. Anything in life worth getting takes hard work :-) . The harder the work the more rewarding the end result.

Waitin on rehab...

I am still in the hospital for starters...the docs say i should be sent to rehabilitation. I am really looking forward to going despite the fact id rather be home.im looking forward to going because i can get some intensive therapy and hopefully get my leg braced.my physical therapist says that the brace will help me immensley.i feel kinda homesick though. The hospital is extremely lonley. I wish i was at the shore instead of jersey shore hospital. However, i know that right now the hospital is where i should be. I find out tomorrow or monday which rehab ill be admitted to..either kessler or meridian. Ill keep you updated when i know more.

june 19th

I feel like writing an update yet im not really sure what to say. lets see where this goes...For a start, i am still in the hospital. still having trouble swallowing. it is so boring here. the room here reminds me of something out of a movie, its so dreary. I guess ive been too accustomed to the childrens hospitals. i have no idea when ill be out of here but i hope its soon. i want to enjoy some of my summer. 
my grandparents have been keeping me company while im here. they are the best and i am so greatful to have them. they live over an hour from the hospital and still come to visit everyday while my mom is at work. after work my mom comes to the hospital to visit. im so lucky to have such a loving family.
i know i dont mention it as much as i should but i am so greatful for my sisters. they give up so much so i can get the support i need. the main thing they give up is normalcy. they sacrifice so much and hardly complain.i couldnt have better sisters. i cant wait until i can come home and spend some time with them.

frustrated

its day 13 of no swallowing and i can not begin to voice the amount of frustration i feel. 13 days of no swallowing means 13 days of no eating. the doctors say encouraging me to eat could be helpful. thats all fine  and dandy but i think my starving stomach has the encouragement under control. i am genuinly worried about loosing too much weight. i reallly  hope they find some way to get food into me.

NG tube

im finally getting the nutrition i need. yesterday the doctors put in an NG tube. getting the   tube in was so painful. having it in is just slightly more comfortable. i hope they can get me to swallow again.

hospital again

I am once again admitted to the hospital. it is because of the swallowing problem. i feel really frustrated because im so hungry and cant swallow. i really hope they can help me. my  family and friends are the most amazing people ever. they are helping me keep my spirits up.its so nice to have a good support network.
