Journal entry by Sherry Stokes —
Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to reach out and ask that you keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I woke up on Monday morning with severe GI pain. I was in so much pain it was hard to stand or move. I waited it out 5 hours and it didn't get any better so I called everyone I knew until I woke someone at 5am. They came and took me to the ER where I was admitted and kept over night for observation, re-hydration, and testing. They are really not sure why I had so much pain but a possible obstruction could not be ruled out.
I will be taking some medication tonight and I am praying that it will not cause this pain and that things will be okay. I know that I will be sick tomorrow but hopefully not ER sick.
I go to the orthopedic doctor today about my fractured feet and I hope that he will order some testing to see how they are healing. I am concerned given my nutrition and other health issues but I have really tried to comply with his recommendations over the past four weeks. I hope for some good news and that he will be willing to monitor this a little more closely.
I have also started the restoration of my top teeth and one of the implants looks like it may not make it but there is a chance that it will be okay so we are moving forward with all implants. I will have to pay for the restoration and nutrition and we are close on the nutrition. Please consider helping in whatever way you are able. I cannot drive so if you are in Greenville, I need people to help with getting essentials and other errands that I cannot do myself. Gift cards to Walmart, Amazon, and Instacart are also helpful so that I can order online. https://www.gofundme.com/believeinsherry
Thank you and please keep me in your prayers!
