boring boring health problems

I've actually become more ill recently. Still have not heard what exactly is causing this. But I experienced more than 24 hours of nausea, low grade fever and chills. This is at least the third attack in the past month. So I went to the ER and spent 12 hours there, only to hear that they think it might be appendicitis. But they are not sure. So I have to follow up with my doctor. And if I get another fever or have pain, I need to go back to the ER. I'm worried but for some reason, I am also feeling fairly calm about it all. There is not much I can do aside from eat carefully and be cautious with myself right now. Time will tell what the problem is. I guess! I think my pain would steadily get worse if I have appendicitis. If the problem is gall bladder disease, I will gradually get sicker, I think.

It's all so boring being sick. I just want to go outside and be active because the weather is so beautiful here. It was cooler the past couple of days but still sunny. I did go to the local mall briefly today. And I took a short walk even though I feel ill.

Now I get to spend the rest of the evening alone because my husband is studying for a class he's taking.

I'm supposed to be making royal icing daisies, perhaps 5 or 6 dozen. I have to make a cake for my sister-in-law's baby shower. But I might have to disappoint her and cancel the order because of my health crisis. Perhaps tomorrow I will mix some icing and try to start. If I can get them all made this week, then maybe I can still do it. Otherwise, my health might become worse at some point.
