I am doing better!

Thanks to all the positive thoughts and prayers from my friends, I am doing better! I am so glad as this has been a very rough time. This is day four back in my apartment and I am so very happy and thankful to be able to be here. Next week I have three doctor appointments to keep so I know that will tire me out. I rest a lot on days like that, it's the only thing I'm able to do. Hopefully my power scooter's batteries will be changed so that I can use it to meet the van that will pick me up, otherwise I will have to use my four-wheeled walker and that will tire me more. My son promised to take care of my problem by Saturday. Tomorrow I need to take a cab to the lab for my blood tests for my kidney doc as I see him next week. I'm sleeping and eating good which I know helps me to regain my strength. I have drug allergies and am limited in the antibiotics that the docs can use. I've had so many of them over the last 10+ years and some of them just don't work for me. One of my docs said that there would come a time that there was no antibiotic that would work for me. I pray that the drug manufacturers have developed some new antibiotics that have been approved for our use and that they work. This has been a real good day for me, no naps! Several people were here today, my nurse to check on how I'm doing, my aide to assist me with my shower (she scrubs my back and legs to help my circulation) as well as do my laundry and clean my apartment. Cough medicine delivered to my door! My home delivered meal from the Senior Center! For me that was a lot of activity besides the phone ringing. I have become accustomed to a quiet day by myself and it feels good to have people moving around me and talking with me. I am a 'people person', I like to be around others and interact with them. I miss going to play Pinochle but have not felt up to doing so for some time. Hopefully I can get my strength and endurance built up to keep me healthy and allow me to mix with others in a social setting. Until that time I will keep thinking positive and doing what I have to to get myself stronger. I wish my friends a good day for them. :) Jody-C
