We can’t always get what we want

I did not qualify for the clinical trial I was supposed to start next week due to low albumin levels. I ate the appropriate amount of protein per Google, plus 20 more grams but still, my level actually went down. I guess it wasn't meant for me and my doctor is going back to the list, we will see what happens with that.


I have been struggling pretty hard lately physically and a bit mentally, my sleep has been awful for about a week. This morning after night sweats on the couch I actually felt some relief. I also (to quote what I wrote to my doctor) "pooped like an elephant." This allowed me to get through my day of doctors appointments and work training without being completely miserable, I was actually not feeling too bad, which was a welcome change. It gave me hope and I noted that I can feel better, oh the possiblities...It can be challenging remembering how it feels to not suffer, the discomfort can be so loud and this particular sensation makes me immobile at times, the pressure in my pelvis like an anvil. This morning was a blessing and I am grateful for it.


I still haven't painted the frame of my mosaic but I thought I would show what it looks like with light through it. The glue will continue to clear as well and natural light will make it better.



"We are all stardust"


Until next time ❤️

I hope this sets you up for an even better trial soon, there are such amazing things happening out there in cancer research, I hope there is something that ends up being perfect for you. The mosaic is GORGE omg. Also yay for good poops, highly underrated lol <3 I've been sick for days and really struggling with how useless and horrible I feel, it's helpful to remember through you that life is valuable no matter what, and we can still be creative and do beautiful things even if we're oozing unpleasant fluids (mine are out my nose, but still). Much love!
