Happy Purim to all!! I haven't blogged since Friday because thank God I don't have any news. Everything is moving along. I've been doing alot of physical therapy to get stronger and resting when I need to. I finally finished my oral antibiotics. The abscesses are smaller and almost painless. I still get pain on my right side when I inhale, sneeze, cough. I think that I'm less "puffy" with the reduced Prednisone. I'm still shaky and my vision is occassionaly blurry but that's from the other stuff.
Other than that, I went to Temple last night and made my "debut". I haven't seen any of those people since before my transplant. And, since it IS Purim, and costumes are in order, I dressed as a surgeon. That way I was able to wear a mask and gloves and it didn't look TOO crazy. It worked out well. I'm still nervous about germs when I'm around alot of people, though. I can't wait to get back home.
I think we're going to Illana and Keith's to celebrate later. I'm looking forward to that. I like to get out a bit, as long as it's not in a crowd.
That's it for now. Keep believing in miracles! They're EVERYWHERE!!!

Wishing you all a Chag Sameach !! Our Temple did a pasta shake last night, instead of groggers everyone used a box of pasta to shake and then it was donated to the food bank. Purim is one of my favorites, glad you got to enjoy it with your congregational family.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you were able to get out and enjoy yourself. Take care and enjoy those moments. I can't wait to come down off my prednisone a little. My cheeks are so full and hard I feel like I have balls in each cheek. Love and hugs. And again, glad you are feeling o.k.

Chag Purim Sameach !! I was just thinking about you in Shul last night. After reading a childrens book about the miracles of Purim to my grandchildren (over and over again - they loved it) Last night all I could think about was the miracle that is Leah. What modern science, faith and determination can do -you are a shining example. Keep trucking and believing.
