The good deeds and acts of kindness being done in my merit leave me so very, very moved and uncharacteristically speechless. There are no words. I pray that I am worthy and look forward to being able to "pay it forward" with acts of goodness, kindness and charity.
For now, there is no more "news". I started physical therapy today, which went very well. I wanted to be able to do some walking in the halls but I needed something to steady myself. The therapist gave me a walker and we did one lap. She also gave me a bunch of exercises to do in my room and I'm looking forward to doing them. The eye doctor came and examined my eyes yesterday, and Thank God they're okay.
I was told that I'd be here for at least 2 weeks on IV antibiotics. We're still waiting on the skin biopsies.
Also, I heard that there are a bunch of you out there who donated blood and/or blood products. That's an amazing gift to so many of us who need transfusions and I thank you. I know I've gone through quite a few pints, myself. So, please, if you can, give blood.

I'll try to respond asap.
Leah - I am so sorry that you are going to be in the hospital for that long, but so glad that they caught it and are able to treat it. I read up on that stuff, and it is scary for someone immunosuppressed. I am glad you are in good hands. If there is anything you need that I could send to you from far away, please let me know. Need some yarn to knit or crochet? I could send you stuff to occupy your hands and mind. Magazines? I could send those too! Just let me know if you need anything. Love and hugs.

People do say wonderful things about PT, and I certainly hope it makes a big difference in your mobility and strength. Your optimism and patience are inspirational and contagious. Thank you, Leah.
ReplyDeleteLove to all.
Love,

ReplyDeleteYou're constantly in my thoughts. What a scare! I'm so glad you're okay.

Leah - Sounds like you had a good day. I'm glad the PT went well. Don't worry about how you might look with a walker we can always decorate it. As long as you can walk and have the security of not falling. If all goes well you'll be home in plenty of time for Purim. Can I bring you some food? I'm praying and hoping your bibopsies(Big Fat Greek Wedding reference) will be fine. I'm a little sad today because one of our friend's died today. He was a nice guy who left behind a lovely wife with 3 children. I'll be going to the wake tomorrow night. Anyway, It's Torah time, I think that will help what's ailing me. Keep up the good work. All my love, Beth xxx000xxx
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to read that you had a good day and that you started PT. Also, that all checked out with your eyes. Sounds like you're on a good road towards recovery.
ReplyDeleteIn life there are certain people that inspire others to perform great acts of kindness. You just happen to be one of those special people.
I am on my second round of people to bake challah for you. We reached the first 40 this afternoon and we're on our second round of 40. And, you speechless, in 40 some odd years I've never seen that happen.
Love you.
Shelly
Dear Leah,
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure if I'd write or what I'd write, but then I thought some more, and here I am. Amazing what too much or too little thought can accomplish is such a short time. I really want to say something profound or humorous, and I've been feeling selfish.
You're in my thoughts and prayers. Adam
