Happy Football Sunday! :) resting today ,keeping warm :) health updates to share

Happy football sunday wishes! :) Hi angel friends! :) We're having a peaceful, healing day at home today,keeping warm, and resting up, and also got the football game on :) keeping with the football party tradition :) It's a big football weekend, with the big games :) i've got some health updates to share with everyone,  and our focus on a really good, upcoming week keeping with weekly traditions, and enjoying all of our favorite simple joys from day to day :)

Thank you angel friends ,for always being here for us :) my family, Holly, and i hope everyone is doing well, healthy, and enjoying a great sunday :) when i woke up this morning, i could feel i needed to take it easy more today, as i've been feeling run down, from the week, from dealing/coping with a health issue that's drained me physically and emotionally too, as it's been worrysome, but i've kept strong, and i believe seeing some signs of improvement :) i can be shy to share about some things, and after a long week coping, i felt it would be best to share. i'm on antibiotics medicine, to treat a UTI (urinary tract infection).  it began on January 15th, with some very sharp, burning pain. i drank lots of water, and cranberry juice, and was seeing some signs of improvement at times ,it seems to be worse in the mornings. i talked with Holly, and my parents about it. through the week ,it's been frustrating at times ,feeling bit better, then it getting worse, then feeling better. my mom talked with Jenn, who works in nursing, and Jenn even texted me, and mentioned she and Mike, have some antibiotics. i've been taking amoxicillin 400mg since friday night, and going to begin taking antibiotic Cephalexin 500mg tonight. i'm having some improvements, and have cut out coffee/soda, i was drinking some (just a little bit still on friday), and i think it aggravated the uti. i've been drinking so much water, and cranberry juice. i believe there's definitely some healing going on. i've been worried a lot, and it's been draining me emotionally, looking up information online. Holly, and my mom have been checking in on me, talking. UTI's are rare for men, so it's been extra concerning. having some relief from the pain ,has boosted my spirits, but when it's painful, it discourages me, but i'm hanging in there, and i'm determined to get well. taking Cephalexin for the upcoming 5 to 7 days, should really take care of the health ailment, but just incase it doesn't improve, i will go to the doctor/urgent care. i've been tired of it, and wanting to be back to 100%, but i know i must remain patient. 

Yesterday evening, both Holly and i began to feel really tired, run down, and experienced chills last night (i thought i was having maybe side effects from the antibiotics), but Holly also felt same way. we both fell asleep during last night's football game, and woke up after 10pm. we've been taking tylenol today. i'm use too having tea/coffee, soda, and my energy  level is lower. i just want to fully heal, from this uti, and for both Holly and i to feel our 100% selves :) We have been watching football, Congrats to the Ravens, and 49ers on their great wins, and advancing to Championship Sunday next week :) We've got the Lions vs Bucs game on ,and going to watch Bills vs Chiefs this evening :) we've been having some foods, and snacks today :) 

i just wanted to fill everyone in, on how we're doing :) i did my best shopping yesterday, i wasn't feeling too well, but did my best :) i'm very hopeful, the antibiotics will continue to help me heal :) i take very good care of myself, and it's stunned me to come down with this uti, which has been very painful and frustrating. i felt emotionally exhausted this morning, and felt it would be best to take it easier today with my writings, i love to spirit write, and tomorrow will get back into my normal writings, but i would like to keep everyone updated in a section of my journal, about my healing journey, and about how we're all doing :) Thank you angel friends, for always being there for us :) We love you all bunches and bunches! :) Will do some more writing tomorrow :) Sending our love ,and our warmest caring happy friendship hugs, from our hearts, and home to yours :) 

-never lose hope :) 

We're enjoying the football weekend, and excited for the 2 games today and next week's championship sunday football games :)
