I was up at 7:35 this morning. I've been sleeping until almost 9 most days. But being up early cleared my head. Another beautiful day awaited me.
I've been reading a lot in my semi-retired mode. I love the "Murder she wrote" mysteries and my favorite writer David Rosenfelt. I read and re-read his dozens of books. Good every reading.
My plan to be outside more begins when I finish this blog.
I've got a book and a ginger ale to take with me.
Sitting on the porch will be a joy.
See you there!
I need to pay more attention to nature than my meds!
It's a beautiful late summer day.
I love all the sunshine and all the greenery.
I need to go sit on our front porch or back deck more than I have.
Weather will make you feel well.
And maybe BE WELL.
I need to try it out....
Today I went to see a kidney doctor--though there is absolutely nothing wrong with my kidneys!
She's worried about the sodium level in my blood--it was so low a few weeks ago that I had to go into the hospital.
It's only a little low now.
She went on and on about more water and less salt until I had no idea what she was suggesting.
My ankles are a little swollen and she wants that down--more about water and salt...On and on....
Oh well, we'll see won't we--or 'me', since I'm the one with water and salt issues....
It was great to be at church today.
I love the folks there and I think they love me as well.
Doesn't get much better than that....
I didn't realize it until I lost my blog, but writing here makes me feel in touch with lots of people.
Not being able to write Under the Castor Oil Tree left me lonely.
The ten days have seen a lot of changes.
I feel much better--not back to 'normal' but close to it. I still have numerous medicines and doctor appointments--but I'm almost back.
The weather has been mostly hot and air conditioning is a joy--especially for sleeping.
My diet is still strange. No salt. Very few normal foods. Lots of stuff I have to force myself to eat.
I've lost about 25 pounds and the doctors don't want me to gain any of it back.
But I drive and get around. Still don't fix meals every other night like I used to.
Bern has been beyond 'wondrous' to me through all this.
I thank God for her love every day.
Going to church tomorrow--need to work on my sermon.
More later....
I lost my connection to my blog 10 days ago.
I tried and tried to get it back to no avail.
Today Bern got it back on one try!
Just one more thing I am thankful to her about.
Now, to catch you up....
(More later.)
Bern woke me up at 10:20 a.m.!
I slept about 12 hours.
Restful and good.
Up now and doing well.
Except the president is trying to take over Washington, D.C.!
The country had better wake up too, even if it's late in the morning.
This 'want to be King' must be stopped!!!
He must.
HE MUST....
