Sakana with Liam and Mayo admission

September 2, 2023: Well this morning I took my meds at 7am, and unfortunately I threw up right after I took the medication with the apricot mango yogurt. I really didn’t think I threw up the medication, so I didn’t take any extra. My doctors have been worried that my shunt wasn’t working, and it seems like this is a good signal that it’s not working right. Then, in the morning, my mom came over and she got me signed up for a Spanish 4 class and a possible art class. We also drove to Wings to pick up some cash for me to go to the fair tomorrow. Anyways, then I succeeded in going out for lunch with Liam, and we went to Sakana, the sushi bistro that Uma works at. She wasn’t there today, which was kind of a good thing because I threw up there again. Funny enough, one of the employees literally remembered me from when I’d been there before and asked if Uma knew I was there. Basically for food, I only ordered the miso soup, because I told Liam that I’d thrown up in the morning and was worried about eating. He gave me like two pieces of his sushi too, but I only ordered the miso soup. Good thing, because right after we ate, I literally vomited all over the floor. I didn’t feel it coming, kind of like this morning. Then, my mom had told me not to go over to my dad’s house today, but I called him about what happened, and I did drive over there. Then, she actually met me there and then she drove me to Mayo because we might want to try the surgery to fix my shunt, because it’s clearly coming from that. So now I’m not going to the fair tomorrow, because even if I get out of the hospital in time I'd be afraid of throwing up with all the fair food. Hannah did agree that we could find a pickle pizza not at the state fair though, and she said she knows of a place. It's apparently called Good Times.

Oh, and my second photo is of me in the hospital bed at Mayo. It really just proves that things can always get worse, and they often do for me. I managed to take my night meds at 8:06pm with two 6g fat cheese sticks from the ER. I hadn’t realized it had gotten so late, and I also failed to set an alarm today for the meds. I don't think I'll be able to take the meds tomorrow morning, since we didn't drive my car, so I don't have my extra ones with me.

To be grateful for: I suppose I'm grateful that mayo clinic is so close, and also that I have friends like Hannah, who wants to get pickle pizza with me, and Liam, who helped me clean up my vomit in Sakana.
