Sick Again
once again I am sick.
I have a bladder and kidney infection. I have very little symptoms. They found the infection by doing blood work. They have me on IV antibiotics. They sent my urine off. We will find early next week if I'm on the right antibiotics.
The last couple of weeks have been very hard. I went into an MS attack. They used high dose steroid. I normally tolerate them very well but this time was different. I put on allot of fluid. I had to stay in bed for five days to help the fluid pills work. The last five days I have been having more MS symptoms. My arms are very heavy and they tire easily. My left arm is affected more. My wheelchair is left-handed drive. So the last couple of days I have not been able to get up.
I left a message for my OT that my chair would have to be changed to right hand drive. She did nothing. I phoned my chair people today and came right out and fixed it.
I am very tired I need to nap often. The infection and the low blood count are wiping me out. I am going to spend the weekend in bed and sleep as much as I need. I know my hubby will be coming in at some point. I want to be well rested so I can enjoy my visit.
This is just one more joy of MS.
