Good morning,
I'm beginning to feel a bit sluggish today. I guess my hemoglobin is beginning to drop a bit. I will find out tomorrow. Unfortunately, a friend of mine passed away yesterday and I am going to a funeral this afternoon. I am still in shock. I don't have many details about what happened to her and I had no idea that she was so sick! (I had heard she had back problems). I'm very sad.
I'm taking a lot of different medications --- 25 pills a day. I'm not quite sure which ones have which side effects, but I'm inclined to blame everything on the Prograf and the Prednisone. Since they've increased the Prednisone for the intestinal issues, my hands tremble so much, my fingertips are cracking, I'm once again very moody, very, very puffy (think Michelin Man). Not a pretty picture.
On the bright side, my sleep is fairly good. I get a good solid 4-5 hours a night which somehow suits me fine. Funny, before the transplant, if I didn't sleep 7-8 hours, I could barely function.
I think today will be difficult because of the previously stated circumstances but Rachel and Jacob are both home and they're both so helpful and supportive. I'm a very lucky lady.
I hope you're all well and warm. Thank you so much to keeping an eye on me and for all of your prayers and good wishes for my recovery. It means more to me than I can say.
sorry to hear about your friend.

So sorry to her about your friend.
ReplyDeleteIn regards to you, I saw you yesterday and you look great. Puffy is a state of mind, you don't look anything like the michelin man.
It was so good to see you by the way, and your mom as well, and of course Rachel.
Keep us all posted after tomorrow.
Love you.
Shelly
Leah - I am very sorry about the loss of your friend. I pray that all of her friends and family will find the Peace that comes from God in these times. Please take care of yourself and don't get too run down. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow too, so I will report back.
ReplyDeleteLeah I'm so glad you weren't alone today. You're quite blessed to have 2 wonderful children. It is so sad and overwhelming when you lose a friend. I'm sure your anxious to get through the next few days. I hope all will go well and they will get to the bottom of your problem. Oops no pun intended. Were you tested for Celiac? If not maybe you should ask about it. A good thing to use on your cracked skin is lanolin. (Walgreens sells it)I don't know if you can use that because it is the oil from sheeps skin. It's also used for breast feeding mothers for their cracked nipples. It's greasy but it works. Say hello to Illana.
ReplyDeleteAll my love always, Beth xxx0O0xxx
Leah, We just got back from visiting Jordan in Israel. He is having an amazing year. Leah, you were in our prayers during our entire stay in Eretz Yisroel. Sorry about your friend, we were just as shocked as you. Wishing you a speedy refuah.
