14 days later…

 

     If it weren’t for the maroon fading to green remnants of bruises on my hands, in my elbow creases, and the sides of my wrists you probably wouldn’t know I was in the intensive care cardiac unit a mere fourteen days ago.  I still find it hard to believe.

     Life is an ever-evolving affair.  Each day is different from the previous one.  Some are only different by tiny increments.  Then there are the days that explode in your face and change everything, forever.  I’d rather have the dull, quiet days.

     I now take six pills a day.  I’m restricted as to how much I can do.  Lifting?  Not allowed until my doctor says I can.  The no driving restriction is over but I haven’t the energy to drive anywhere.  Energy, I miss having it.  I’m not sure if it’s the medications or my body’s recovery that makes me so sluggish.

     The minor allergic reaction I had to one of my medications is under control and as the wheals heal, I look forward to being able to wear proper clothes again.  Bras don’t work well with wheals.

     DH has tried so hard to help.  There are times he’s had to really struggle with his MS but he’s done it.  Although there have been several large glitches, we have managed.

     Change is upon us, dietary, routines, and life in general has altered.  Looks as though I’m on a new adventure here and I’ll keep you all updated.  Hugs!

  1. 14 days already…wow….time flies when your havin this much fun. Then again you know better than accept the I’ll trade you option from me or DH…6 pills….please….15 and loosing count…..quite gripping and be thankful like the rest of us that you get to see the next morning and figure out what kind of trouble you can get into today…it’s a freebie from now on. Get better soon and quite goofin off…..girl you will do almost anything to get outta going back to work for me won’t you…..NO LUCK LADY TILL THEY SHUT THE LID. 🙂

    You don’t scare me… 😛

  2. Hugs right back at ya. Look at your lack of energy as your body’s way of stopping you from doing too much. It knows you too well 😉

    My body never cuts me any slack… 😉

  3. Hugs to you and to DH (It must have been very scary for him too) Take it easy, however much it goes against the grain, and listen to your body. Thinking of you and praying for you. Love from us all here in Cardiff.

    Thanks for the hugs. Lots of love back to my dear friends in Cardiff!
