Computer in the Kitchen

I'm not at work again, instead I'm sitting at the computer in Ben's kitchen. That makes me laugh at least, sitting on a huge office chair in the middle of a tiny kitchen, staring at a computer screen that takes up one of only three real countertops available. Especially because Ben has a whole "dining room" sitting empty right beside me, but the man refuses to buy a table. He feels a dining room table is illogical. He wants a desk. But does not actually get a desk. And so, the computer is in the kitchen. Laughs, always laughs! I love that man!

Last night I decided I might try to make it into work this afternoon! The pain was a bit better last night, and I made a commanding decision that I'm not doing myself any good by waiting! So I'm going to try to make it to work to actually sit at my desk, take some phone calls, and champ out. I know, I'm awesome. You don't have to tell me. I impress myself everyday. Ha. It's the small victories, y'all know that.

I'm still waiting for the call on the Lupron. I know they said three weeks possibly, but I never thought it would really take that long. So I'm still hoping I'll get a call this week or something. We'll see.

Most important point of today's post- Ben and I went grocery shopping last night for the Endo Diet! I've never really tried to do any sort of food changes to help all of this, except for cutting out dairy because, well, I'm lactose intolerant and I just should. But I went wheat/gluten free last night at the store. And I'm cutting back on red meat! And I'm gonna go ahead and try to eat pretty organic from here on out too. And...drumroll...I'm gonna cut back on sugar. Probably. haha! TJ's is the absolute best store ever, Ben hadn't ever been there before he met me. He's a lucky man nowadays. ;) I spent over $100 but I think it was really worth it. I'm going to get better; Lupron, diet, surgery, whatever. Bring on the silver lining!

So it's time for me to take a shower. That's right, a shower! And focus on it not hurting as badly as yesterday. (I still have some cramping, upset stomach, sharp pains in my lower right abdomen- right ovary, and that pesky rib pain! The worst is that I KNOW that it gets worse when I move around more, hence the three weeks without working. But three weeks is long enough. Goodness!)

After I start working a little more, I'll build up with that, then I'm going to start walking again. Baby steps! And eventually I want to hit the gym again sometime soon, because from what I've read, exercise has really helped some with the Lupron. I'm just hoping I don't get the massive headaches. I've never suffered from headaches, and I don't know how I would handle that. :( But, it's all in the battle.
