What do you do?

What do you do when haven't eaten since the night before, and have been on bed rest for 6+ hours?

Besides trying to convince the nurse you should go back to solid foods, and trying to hold your pee (because peeing in a bed pan is the last thing you want to do), you get your camera and take pictures of things you normally wouldn't, and then blog about it. :)

Like a picture of a very tired and hungry me counting down the minutes until my bed rest and clear liquid diet is lifted.

or the view from my bed

or my lovely hospital booties

or the fancier ones the nurse replaced them with

or this icky thing you wish you could just yank off and never see again!

 

 (i loathe IVs!)

And when you're not sure what else to take a picture of, you take a picture of the bag with all your books and notebooks, wishing you had super powers to move it from the chair to your bed.

After you realize that's not going to happen, you turn to the next best thing.

Thank you for all your prayers, emails and phone calls. The kidney biopsy went well, my kids are having a great time with Grandma, and my sweet husband is bringing me a yummy dinner. As much as I am enjoying my time here, I'm really looking forward to being back home tomorrow.
