Today is a good day. I’m over the two week mark of being in the hospital and if everything goes smoothly, I could be in my own bed and eating a home cooked meal in 10 days. WAHOO!!!! Not sure if I’m beginning to go crazy from being locked up in one small room, if it’s all the steroids I’m on or if I’m just feeling really happy today. But whatever it is, I’ve got my gorgeous lei on (courtesy of my Hawaiian lovah Miss Ali Catalano) and me and Uncle Fred just completed my first selfie photoshoot. BOOM.
Now that I think of it, all this energy is probably the adrenaline I’m still feeling from finishing my first big league acting gig. Oh what’s that you say? Let me explain… I was awoken to my favorite and fabulous nurse asking if I wanted to be in a video they were making about the hospital. Is that even a question? DUH I want to be the featured patient– how fun is that?! So I got up and quickly brushed my short new do, put it in a cute pony and pink headband and hopped back into bed (who says you have to look sickly even if you’re sick). Signed some papers and it was “lights, camera, {hospital} action!” Overall, I would say I did a phenomenal job at my first professional actress– wide eyed, pretend chatting and lots of cheesin’. Possibly a bit too much cheesin’ as they had to ask me to stop smiling so much but hey, who wants to see a grumpy gus anyways?
After that excitement, I enjoyed a delicious bagel and cream cheese with two very plastic-y pieces of bacon. (gotta take what I can get). The army of doctors came in and had no news. WOO– as they like to say, “no news is good news.”
Mike is working from the hospital today so I had a buddy to watch the Price is Right’ which is a highlight of the day– could that show be any better? Only if they bring back Bob Barker. But other than that, it’s perfection.
I got my yoga mat a few days ago so I’ve been doing my own little yogi sessions the past few days which have really helped a lot. It makes me feel physically and mentally strong.
Mike and I just finished dancing around our room for a bit which is a sure-fire way to make anyone feel good and I’m waiting for my arugula pizza from Trader Joe’s to get delivered while chomping on some delectable Deep River chips (the best ever) — Life isn’t half bad.
Happy Friday everyone, I hope you’re having a fabulous and energetic day!
XOXO,
Jessy
I am so sorry to hear you are going through this but I admire your positive attitude – you are truly incredible! And I like that your bear is named Uncle Fred 🙂
Wow jess your attitude is so incredibly humble and positive! Love the posts, beautifully written and show so much hope. Keep smiling, we are all rooting for you!!
Any time you are up for a private yoga class, Jess, let me know. Maybe we could let your dad in on it too because he can’t picture me teaching yoga. Spinning, yes, but not yoga.
haha Kathy I will certainly take you up on that offer once I’m out of here! I’d love to do yoga with you 🙂
this is awesome… you are my hero!
You are absolutely amazing! Happy Friday!
A Star is born, Brigham & Woman’s/Dana Farber will never be the same. Ms.Jess will leave her mark.
Love you, Gram
