The drugs are diffently gone,,,,,,

I don't feel so good,,,,been in bed all day (but went to church this am),,,,,,can't munster up enough energy to finish the tree. Jonathan put the tree up for me yesterday,,,,,last night I managed to get lights, bows, and Burgundy ornaments on,,,,I still have all of my glass ornaments to put on,,,,,just too tired!! Had blood work done for Dr Young last Wednesday,,,,will find out results tomorrow. Also been having bad pain in the spleen area,,,enough to where it is also in my left shoulder through to my back,,,,just what I need. The Dr has mentioned a spleen removal but I refused,,,,, with all the flu going around,,,,,don't think so......need it too bad,,,,

I had a good Thanksgiving with good friends,,,and got to visit at some time with the kids,,,,,ate too much,,,,as usual,,,,it was sooo good. Thought I would never eat again,,,,,but,,,,,after about 6 hours,,,,,had to eat some more,,,ha

In earlier years we used to travel to Louisville to Moms,,,,what a good day we would have,,,,goood food,,,,and good memories,,,,,Life has sure changed,,,,,,,,

Since I'm in bed,,,,been watching the Hallmark channel,,,,enjoying the Christmas movies,,,,,and not even December yet....

I'm thankful for what I know,,,,and I know that I know it!!

Still Feeling Good,,,,,,,,

and no steroids..it has been a very busy week,,,,been working hard on the windows,,,,christmas bazaar with the homemakers today, church tonight and tomorrow,,,,,,whew,,,,,,,,,But I am still doing well,,,,,,and have been off the steroids for several days now. The toe is almost completely healed,,,,,and tiny, tiny hole still not healed and tiny bit of drainage,,,,,but I'm positive it will. Maybe things will be good for a while.....There's alot of sickness going around,,,,been santitizing every chance I can,,,,,and hoping not to catch anything.

♫ ♪ I Feel Good,,,Like I Knew that I Would Now,,,,,♫ ♪

It's the steroids for sure,,,the best I have felt in over a year,,,of course I've been doctoring this toe since February....But good news,,,stitches came out on Wednesday,,,3 weeks over due,,,but hey,,,it's almost healed!!!! A little hole still in it,,,and a little blood oozes,,,because of low platelets I'd say....but I keep neosporian on it and it's getting better...Went to see a reumatologist and for now I am on steroids to get past this part and if I have any more gout problems she will put me on meds,,,which will probably not do well with some other meds,,,,just have to wait and see...I was able to wear a pair of (short) heels today to church,,,that's the first pair since the surgery,,,,yeah!!!! I have been laid up for sooo long with the toe that I haven't done very much around the house,,,,laid up for 6 weeks with the pic line, and then 6 with the surgery,,,,,I have lots I want to get done before winter sets in and I am sooo glad I am feeling better so I can get it done,,,,,hopefully I will stay up,,,when I come off the steroids it may be like before....I don't usually do well on the steroids,,,makes the fibro hurt more,,,,but it's really been a big improvement this time,,,I hurt really bad the first day,,,but it is only a 6 day pack, dex pack I believe it is, so now I am coming off them, 4 today, 3 tomorrow, etc.....Of course the steroids make the sugar go up,,,but it's only for 6 days....and hopefully I will stay up and can get the work done. Thanks to Jason, my son, for keeping my grass mowed for me,,,helped alot. I was able to mulch (mowed) some leaves on Saturday and even chalked some windows, painted and washed them,,,,,,,sounds like I am on drugs, doesn't it,,,,haha. It's awfully good to feel well again,,,,,,it gets old laying around so much. Ain't God good,,,,,,,
