United StatesWow that is pretty pathetic, I just read my "journal" and I sound like I need to be put in a padded room, although the pain I have been experiencing in the past 48 hours has been off the charts with the allergy limitations to my body and finding something to give ease to the torture.
I have had a low grade fever for 4 days, chest congestion, pain in buttock, hips, thighs, quads and knees. I was doing pretty well, then just trying to stand up hurt and I felt too weak to pull my body up. My children have been helping me to stand and sit, wiping my tears and comforting me that it will all be worth it in the long run. I explained to the home health nurse that the pain was constant and I could no longer get it under control, she said we would call the OS tomorrow to see what can be done. I have elevated, iced and PT, even simple stretches while in bed, I am hurting still, no relief. Knees are burning in pain don't even want to bend on their own.
Those who are checking up on me Thanks. In a moment of desperation and relief, the schnapps seemed the least harmful. Nurse came today she called the Primary who called in a z-pack for sinus/upper respiratory. Coughing up icky stuff, still low grade fever, ache all over. The rain has stopped, just dreary. I stayed in bed pretty much most of the day, just up to do a lap or two to the fridge or potty. Trying to drink lots of water, no appetite.
Pain is still there, not like the last 2 days. I did take 2 Tylenol today, the nurse said it should be ok. I just ache.
On a brighter note, which is something we all hope to hear and enjoy, while looking out the window in my guest bedroom I watched 5 turkeys cross down the driveway, now that the rain has stopped they are moving, hunting season is around the corner. It was comical because 2 of my cats were just sitting in the yard looking at them make their way around.
Gonna shower and crawl under the electric blankie, staples come out Thursday after a 2 ½ hour drive/ride I am not looking forward to. These hurdles will pass soon, look forward to getting back on track. Thanks my friends.
