Yay!

This is an update regarding my illness. The taurine and digestive enzymes (I take two enzymes with each meal) that my doctor suggested I take have made such a huge difference! I've now felt pretty good for the past ten days and I'm able to eat all kinds of foods (I literally had eaten homemade chicken or beef soup for the fifty prior days)!

And best of all, I was able to reschedule the trip I had had to cancel earlier because of my illness. So, I am now on vacation with my mom visiting the state where she grew up. We are staying with my oldest sister and her family who also resides here. We will also have the opportunity of taking a few side trips to visit other family members and special places from my mom's youth.

It is such a blessing to be feeling better and I feel encouraged that it will last, so I'm just going to take each day as it comes and enjoy being far away from home, seeing new places, meeting new people, and enjoying my mom's family.

Test

I had three hours of medical test done on me today with the intent of finding out what is causing my severe nausea. I see my general practitioner doctor tomorrow so maybe she can give me some insight on the results. Hope so...

UPDATE: One of the test confirmed an under-performing gallbladder. In other words, it's still functioning, but not very well. My GP has put me on taurine and digestive enzymes in the hopes of bolstering its ability to do its job. I still have a test for "lazy stomach" to see what is going on with my digestion and if that could be causing my nausea problems. Thankfully, I have had some better days recently.

Dreaming Baseball

I came across this sports story and it just made me feel happy. A lesson in staying true to your dreams.

UPDATE: A nice reminder that dreams really do come true!
