Still upstairs, but should be able to go down by tomorrow.
Walking with my cane without touching the wall--that's a step forward.
Sleeping ok, but not as long as usual.
Making doctors' appointments for next week.
I can't believe how much Bern does to help me out.
My angel....
I feel a bit better today--a tad more steady, but not there yet.
Thought of the folks at Trinity a lot--pray I can be there next Sunday.
Eating a little more--but not enough, I know.
"A long road back" is how I see it now. Just a bit a day.
I've watched more news than I care to admit.
America must feel like me--lost and trying to hope.
The country is a mess--just like me.
God help us all....
M. is my first cousin on my mother's side. She went on vacations with us and helped raise me.
I'm closer to her than any other relative--always have been.
I called to tell her about my hospital ordeal and she took the same attitude as Bern--take it slow and do whatever Bern tells me to!
Do women just know more about this stuff than men?
Makes me wonder....
I'm still shaky but a bit better after a night in my own bed and a much needed shower.
Taking meds sent from the hospital along with my usual pills--which I didn't take for a week.
Bern is keeping me in line and I'm staying upstairs since I went down yesterday and fell and had trouble getting up.
It's fine up here--two bathrooms, tv room, my computer, etc....
We'll see. I was too optimistic and Bern was rightly pessimistic about how I'd be after a week in a hospital bed and bad--I mean 'bad'--food.
Patience is what I need and have too little of....
Shalom.
A surgeon sent me to the Emergency Room a week ago at 3 p.m.
They took out my gall bladder at 8 p.m.
All went well with that but it took until today (Friday 6-27) to get my oxygen level up enough for me go come home.
HOME!!!
Best place to be.
I'm shaky but Bern is keeping me in line--God love her!
More tomorrow.
Again, sorry to have been away so long....
I went to see my G.P. today to talk about the emergence room results.
She was glad I'm going to see a surgeon Friday to see about Gall Bladder surgery.
There are two ways to do it--through a small hole in my stomach and making an cut and opening up my stomach.
The first is a quick recovery with no time in the hospital. The second is more serious and takes over a week to heal.
I'm hoping for the first method.
(Sorry to keep writing about my health, but it fills up my mind!)
I'll get back to posting about politics, problems and hopeful solutions as soon as this is past....
I slept well last night, when I didn't expect to. I was almost sitting up in bed, with pillows behind me. Strange since I usually sleep with one pillow.The gall bladder pain comes and goes. I take pain pills and use Icy-Hot rub 3 times a day.
I only went out to the library, but it wasn't hard.
I used my cane more than usual and that helped.
I just want to get over this.
I see the surgeon on Friday morning, which probably means I won't get it done until next week.
Bern has been great to me, though I'm messing up her life.
I hope I sleep as well tonight.
I hope and pray....
