Hi,
Thank you so much for writing such encouraging words. I haven't been sleeping very well and I've had a sore throat and a headache for the last couple of days. I can't take Tylenol or Advil because they could mask a fever and I have to check for fevers often. Thank God I haven't run a fever. I have something stronger for pain but it seems like overkill to me, to take such a strong painkiller for a sore throat or headache.
On the plus side, my puffiness is definitely reduced and so is my shakiness and much of my moodiness (or shall I say "craziness") with the further reduction in Prednisone. But I am feeling a lot of fatigue and am having trouble doing everyday things around the house. I think (hope) that it's probably a combination of the reduction of Prednisone, anemia, lack of sleep, and normal healing time. I am trying to be patient with myself and not push too much.
David's going to change my catheter dressing now and I'm going to flush the lines. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a stronger day.
Thanks again for all of your prayers and good wishes. I hope you're all well. Believe in miracles!
Good Morning Leah, A sore throat and a headache can slow anyone down. I hope that will dissipate soon as well as all your other symptoms of recovery. Today looks like a good day to hide under the covers. If I can help in anyway I'll be there. I'm praying for you to have better days. Gotta go my breakfast is burning. All my love Buford xxx000xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Leah,

Wishing you a good week, and you know that you havent left our thoughts or prayers for a minute.
Love,

ReplyDeleteLeah - I am so glad you are feeling better. As you can see, I am also having trouble sleeping, so just know that it is normal. I wonder if the headaches are because of the reduced Prednisone, cause I also noticed it as I am coming off. The last couple of days have been the worst, but I had chalked it up to a sinus infection. Now I am wondering. Anyway, don't over do it, and take care of yourself. My prayers are with you and your family.
