The "It's Been a Long Time Since I Left You...", edition.

Big, big points if you know where I got the title from. The rest of the line is "without a strong rhyme to step to". It has been a while since my last entry.  Not feeling well will do that to you. I think I've finally turned the corner.  The nausea has subsided. The coughing is easing. I have a bit more energy.   Look. Some days I got dressed and then fell back into bed. Yes, some days were much better than others. I'd get out, then it takes me 2-3 days to recover. What was that about?  :-(  I also was winded when I walked. I went back to the doctor. So apparently on top everything else I have/had respiratory problems. Yay. I ended up with a breathing treatment, an inhaler and steroids. But I am feeling much better now. 

The flip side of this is my blood work and labs are all skewered. I wasn't eating and I lost my cues for taking my meds. And most of my meds require me to take them after I eat, but if I don't eat....  But I've started eating again. Finally. I'm in desperate need of protein and we went to have a steak lunch for our anniversary. Now I couldn't eat all of my meal, but I ate enough. And that was a milestone!  I'm feeling well enough to go to the weekly Saturday casino run with Dad and Brian for 2 weeks in a row. And I hadn't done this since September. And I can go to Sunday brunch and not get sick. Making progress!  

Gonna go grocery shopping today. And no, I haven't been since September. Was too tiring. But I need to get to my fixins' for thanksgiving dinner. Looking forward to fixing dinner and even more forward to eating!  Lol. 

I just wanted to give you an update. I am feeling better. I'd say I'm at 70-75% and getting better everyday. Also 65 degrees here is a beautiful thing. Especially when we see snow in Michigan. Lol lol lol. Have a wonderful day!
