Surviving Mood
Thursday, November 5, 2009 | A Painful story
I have had a temp of 101 the last 2 days. My pain level was 20. Everything hury esp my knee, back & head felt like they wer going to explode. Tomm I get a sinus culture. I have been on antibitics for 3 dys. I have to due to my immune disorder otherwise I will get pnemonia & that would really flare my asthma & sleep apnea.I am fighting really hard to get well. Force feeding myself & eating really healthy, taking daily naps, icing my knee most of the time & all night long. I have really worked on paying attention to my kittens. I have been ignoring them since Princess died. They had the basics food & water. it just felt like a betrayal to her. Toady they got lots of loving. I always think of her but now I am remembering all the good memories & not just her last moments. I still have bad dreams & insomniia. a lot of that is a side effect to the levaquin but my stomach is barely tolerating it. I am on prilosec, tums & 2 yogurt for the probitics in them. I dont really like it but it helps my stomach. Today I had to cancel PT again but I still had a temp. I actually had 1 good hour today where I felt good. It was heaven. I forgot how good it feels to be almost pain free & have some energy. Tomm I have to start working on my exercises I have been too sick & in too much pain too but the only way I will get better is push through the pain but not overdo it. I hope tomm i can get another painless & feel good moment @ least once during day.

    Oh you poor girl! I'm so sorry you are sick. I have the same problem with Levequin. You are really brave to fight through this. I know how hard it is to just get out of bed let alone do daily tasks and love on your babies.

    Make sure you get your fluids and try and sleep as much as you can.


    Gentle hugs from Otis and I. Get well soon! CathyM and Otis
