Day 5

Journal entry by Mike Millan — 

Man talk about lazy Sunday.
Felt like I slept a good 20 hours but today also seems like there is 44 hours in the day . Turns out I only slept 8 hours. Very periodically.
Nausea is under control-ish. After a night and good half the morning of diahreea and vomiting I can say that I got past the hard part for today. As long as I keep the nurseing staff to date with how im feeling they can give me stuff to help combat it even on the earliest of signs.  We keep using the whole “easier to put out a small fire rather than a large one” approach and its bareable.
My current battle is time. There is so much damn time in a day I swear, its like watching water boil, just doesn’t seem to go fast enough as fast as you would want it at least. I have to keep forgetting that I have so many days left in here vs just sit back and relax and just take each day as they come. Easier said than done. I wish that I was on my last few days vs being just getting started. I need to ask for patience. To understand that this all takes time,
I am normally such a mover and shaker. I don’t like to sit still. I like to continuously move and be doing something and now that im locked up ion this room its really starting to test me.
Seem to be in this “groggy” state of mind. Everything seems very slow-moving like we are underwater. I get up from my bed like im going to walk around only to come right back to the bed and lay back down. Then repeat that 20x a day now. That kind of discomfort I just cant seem to shake off.
