Hey Mom,
I am a lot better today. I feel almost back to normal. I just feel weak still due to the lack of food in and on my body. I lost a lot of weight these last two weeks. But I will gain it back. Especially when I get back home. Then I will eat like there is no tomorrow. Of course I will still need check ups and everything, but I will be eating pizza, chocolate milk, Taco Bell, everything. I am hungry. Anyways, now let me tell you what I had and what happened after I talked to you guys.
I had an infection in my intestines. And because I wasn't eating, I had pain in my stomach and also because of the infection. So on Wednesday, after another vomiting session, I went and met with a specialist. She came in and checked me out and said I have a infection in my intestines. So therefore, I got some IV's in me through my hand until Saturday. I still wasn't eating well though during the treatments. However, when Saturday came, I was normal just weak. I then got pills and now am on a diet for the next few weeks. It is just to help my stomach recuperate from all that has happened. Also to help my intestines. I am fine now. I just van't work and walk and do what I used to do, or with the strength I used to have.
Now the challenge is to give what I can, which literally is my all. And I will. I don't want to return home with any regrets. I feel bad for not doing what i could when I was sick. I was better than I psyched myself out to be at some points. And it's those points where I feel regrets. But it's ok, because now I will give all that I can, mentally, physically and spiritually. It was a HUGE blessing talking to you guys. It helped so much. IT gave me hope and helped a bunch. Love you guys so much.
One thing of the many I learned these past few weeks is that our mind has a lot of power. When our body is down, our mind usually goes down as well. Ad at that point is when we get down and depressed, more sick and just wrecked. So the key is to keep our mind up, happy, joyful. Times of challenges and difficulties will come and happen. It is part of life. However, when they come, we need to keep our minds uplifted with hope and joy that things will turn around. For if our mind is strong, then our body will follow it and we will be ok. And our mind must be focused on the Savior. That is the key. I learned that this past week. And I hope to always apply it, even in times of ease.
Love you Mom. Thanks for all the support. I will check today about the package. Time is flying. Only two more weeks.
Love Elder Nelson
