It starts....Day 1

Slept well last night. The bed is very comfortable and the pillows are soft yet supportive. Met with my doctor (who I'll call Dr. Awesome, to protect the innocent, as it were) around 8:30am and talked about what to expect and what to do during the fast. With that being said, I may not post every day, like I thought I might. One of the things not to do is be on the computer or watch TV. I mean, you can.. but not for long periods of time. This is a time to rest all parts of the body, including the eyes and brain. But I'm sure popping online really quick to write a post isn't going to ruin anything.

Also, it looks like I may not compose as much as I thought I would. I was thinking my mental energy would stay up while just my physical energy lowered... but I hear that's not entirely the case. I may have times when the composing comes easily, but there will be times when I'll just want to rest. I'm not concerned... just going with the flow of what my body needs. This is it's time in the spot light.. I've ignored it for so long, time to give back and start over.

Lab results are in! Platelet count is a whopping 15! HA! Highest it's been in two months... though it's not saying much. But still! Hehehe. When I was talking with Dr. Awesome, he said,

"Well.. your platelet count is 15, which I guess isn't too much of a surprise."

To which I replied, "Alright! One point up for last time!.. And if you think about it.. that's four points up from two months ago!"

He laughed and commented on my positive attitude. Then gave me an assignment, which was to have my count up in the 30's by next week. We'll see what I can do...

So far not crazy hungry...just a small touch of the munchies... we'll see if I feel the same way by tonight/tomorrow. :)
