Turnaround!

I feeeeeeellllll good! Wow... I've had such a turnaround in the past week... renewed energy and a feeling of just being... well, normal again? It's hard, after a year of such intense sickness to remember what normal felt like, but I am pretty confident that I am seeing glimpses of it now, and I know that it's definitely around the corner. I have no tubes or bags attached to my body, I am improving at making it in to work and being productive, I've been thinking about doing some housework... (wait. That is not normal for me). Okay, I still have a pretty ugly hole in my middle... it's about the size of a small lemon, and it's open and shows the stomach muscle, but it is slowly growing together. I keep it bandaged with wet gauze that I change 3 times a day. Ick. Ya'll are lucky I can't seem to put my hands on a digital camera at this moment, or you'd be getting a fine glimpse of it right now. Don't worry, I'm still working on that.
