Good Morning,
Thanks to Ambien-CR, I've been sleeping better. I've been getting about 5-6 hours of sleep for the last few nights. I just don't want to rely on it too much and I'm looking forward to being able to sleep without it.
I drank a bunch of Emergen-C's (which I've been using for years and I swear by!) and my sore throat has cleared up, Thank God. As per my bestest friend Marsha, maybe the headaches are from coming off the Prednisone, or maybe it was from the weather because I DO sometimes get headaches before it rains and it did rain (and thunder and hail). Whatever the cause, I feel better now B"H.
Rachel went with me to the supermarket yesterday to shop for Passover. It was a ZOO! And poor Rachel didn't feel well, either. In fact, she took a nap when we got home and woke up with a fever and sore throat. Yes, I know to not get too close, but hey! This is my Baby!! Anyway, she was supposed to go out with a friend last night to celebrate his birthday but we kept her home, gave her Advil, Emergen-C and sent her to bed. Hopefully, with God's help, she'll be better today. If not, I'm going to have her see the doctor. For some reason, when she doesn't get enough sleep, she is susceptible to tonsillitis. I'm praying that's it's just exhaustion and that she'll be OK when she wakes up.
I'm scheduled to work with the Physical Therapist today for the last time. Then, depending on how tired I am, I'm going to continue working in the house to prepare for Passover and then maybe go out to buy a few more things. I'm going to have to play it by ear since I've been so tired lately. It's all wait and see.
I hope those of you preparing for the holiday aren't working TOO hard. We all know how crazy it can get. But maybe it really doesn't have to be. Try to enjoy every day, appreciating all the amazing wonders around us. Thanks for being there. Believe in miracles!
moonie...sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well! Try not to push yourself so much. Mom coming back this week??? Need me to do anything for you????? I will call you tomorrow xoxoxoxoxo miss you
ReplyDeleteLeah - praying for you to continue to heal, and for Rachel too! I know what you mean about not being able to stay away though. I seem to get what my kids get because I HAVE to take care of them. My headaches have subsided, and I am completely off prednisone. Next comes the prograf. I went to the dr. today and counts were good and all in normal range. I actually dreamed last night that I woke up with a really pretty, and not puffy, face. Dr. still says I am very puffy, but I lost 4 pounds. Hopefully it will continue downwards. Keep in touch and let me know how you are doing.
ReplyDeleteLove ya.

Leah I hope you are feeling better as well as Rachel. Nothing beats a good night of sleep. I'm feeling a little weird today, I know what your thinking. I'm just feeling headachey. Maybe it's the weather. I think I'm going to miss Torah class tonight and hop into bed. Keep up the good fight and I'll keep on praying for better days. I guess the bad days are to remind us how much we should appreciate the good days. All my love Buford xxx000xxx
