I was feeling pretty energetic and ambitious today. I did a couple of things around the house that I've been wanting to get to. Then I cooked, and cooked some more, and cooked some more. Since I'm going to be at the hospital tomorrow for platelets again, I decided to cook for the weekend today. But, the funny thing is, I'm so totally enjoying cooking. I think it's because of my brother's stem cells. In case you don't know, my brother is a CHEF. Since I got his stem cells, I'm dying to cook. Interesting, right??
The downside to all of this productive work is that my ankles swell terribly when I'm on my feet too long. And I was definitely on my feet too long today. I know it's from the meds but it gets very uncomfortable and, although I still have some dishes to wash out, I'm laying down now with my feet up. I was also planning on showering this evening, but I'm kinda wiped out. Showering with the central line catheter is not easy. It's got to be all wrapped up and taped and completely waterproof. And the showering itself, even though I have a shower chair, is exhausting. OK. Enough complaining!
It was a pretty good day. Hospital tomorrow morning at 9. Don't know when I'll be home. I'll try to post something afterwards, but maybe not until Saturday Night.
Wishing you all good health and a beautiful weekend. Believe in miracles and pray for peace.
DaVinci,
ReplyDeleteJust cause I'm not there to scream at you doesn't mean you're allowed to totally overdo it. Now stop it! You're going to be wiped out for the next three days. Why can't you take it easy and just do a little bit? It's either feast or famine with you. Now you're in big trouble.
I love you more than anything in the whole wide world and can't wait to come home to you!

Leah - remember - don't overdo it. Conserve your energy. Hope all goes well for you at the hospital today. I can't wait to hear from you again. Take care of yourself and enjoy the food you have cooked. I wish I was there to share some of it. It is a little chilly here this morning, so I got up and had a nice hot bowl of oatmeal. Loved it. Take care of yourself and keep in touch.

Shavoa Tov from Yerushalayim,
ReplyDeleteHope all went well at the hospital on friday and you were able to enjoy Shabbos with all your own cooked food. There is such a good feeling of being able to do things for yourself and family and hopefully all this good feeling will just help you feel better even if you are over doing it a bit.
Take good care of yourself! Wishing and davening and hoping that all your tests this week will all bring good news, and that there will be good news for eveyone all around the world!
Shavoa Tov!
