Tango
Dr. V called me at 7:30pm. This can’t be good. She spoke with Dr. G she wants me admitted to the hospital tonight. Sigh. I just got out. She wants me there for rounds in the morning. My ALT levels are too high. Per Google “AST levels above 1,000 U/L may indicate liver injury or Continue reading

Fever
Despite getting blood both Friday and Saturday I feel like absolute trash today. I have barely enough energy to get out of bed and take my meds and just want to keep sleeping and sleeping. Meds got messed up and Dr. P never called in the Prednisone 20 mg so I had to call over Continue reading

Another Day another Holla
Little miss went with her Ciocia to get some clothes at the thrift store wit very strict instructions to not buy booty shorts. I’m find with the ripped jeans, even crop tops as long as you wear an undershirt. I’m getting my second unit of blood today. We only realistically had time to run one Continue reading

Trends
It’s tough to answer “How are you?” – because I don’t actually know. From the pneumonia (GVHD) front, I am a million times better than I was 5 weeks ago in fact the Home Health Nurse said that my lungs sounded clear, there is mucus and coughing after a breathing treatment which is expected since Continue reading

The Long Awaited Thank You
I needed a separate post about this. I couldn’t mix this with the mundane day to day of the hospitals updates. This needed its own. Dr. C He walked in with Dr. V and my eyes just were so surprised that I was seeing him. Dr. C was standing there. I filled up with emotion Continue reading

What is this?
I’m currently waiting for the oncologist Dr G to make the final decision. The conclusion is they don’t really know what this is. All but 1 of the test have yielded a negative result. It’s not bacterial, viral, or fungal….All the test but 1 say it’s negative. The last test is for cancer, the pathology Continue reading

Circles

Experience
Since Wednesday I have been hacking up a lung and coughing up mucus into tissues then today I ran out of tissues and the Respiratory Tech says why don’t you use the suction stick instead of tissues. I swear my face…I couldn’t control it. Seriously, none of you people could a told me? No one Continue reading
About Me
Hello, my name is Nina. I am a mother, wife, daughter and friend. I am lover of country music, & 80’s love ballad. I love me some karaoke! I identify as hot mess mom. I get it wrong, all the time. On the rare occasions I get it right? Even I’m shocked.
I am a working professional in the field of Compliance. I am mother two, daughter to immigrant parents, wife to a “redneck” – and proud of it, sister-in-law to the two most incredible human beings I have ever met and a niece that is just so cool but doesn’t know it.
I work too hard and play too little. I’ve always focus on the wrong thing and never quite sure if I’m ever enough. I grew up on the East Coast and was a latchkey kid in the 80’s and 90’s – I dodged the sketchy people on the walk home and tried not to end up on a milk carton.
I went to a very privileged Boarding School on the East Coast and college after that. (So yeah that’s exactly why this journal will be riddled with grammatical and spelling errors. On the days I feel good, I’ll type it out. On the days I don’t feel good it’ll be voice to text. I can not be held liable for the things Siri puts in as my “voice”. ) Graduated on a Friday and started Fleet Bank on a Saturday. I hustled my way through the midnight shift at DHL and hustled and hustled and hustled. I knew nothing except the hustle. (As I said, I’m a hot mess mom).
