Thank-you for all your thoughts, wishes, and even prayers. (I am a person of little faith these days.)
I woke this morning feeling as blue as I have ever felt - I so want a stronger body and am so tired of the dependence, the diarrhea, and the dripping of the IV. Everyone is so respectful, kind, encouraging, etc. Now that I have gone two days in a row without fever or rash, the Attending Nurse Practitioner and Doc are even more positive and upbeat. Today I met my new Attending Doc: he likes to go by his first name, Hootie.
I emailed Rick as soon as someone could help me sit up and then he appeared here before 11 am!! Life is better when he is here. Still looks like I will transfer to Inpatient Rehab will early next week and hopefully be home a week or so after that. Hopefully.
(I have felt stronger today; spent more time in my chair again. I'm getting an appetite back and am FINALLY on my last bag of IV nutrition. My marching orders are to eat as if I'm working out, because my metabolism will be ramped up for a while as my body puts so much energy into healing itself.)
Thanks for listening again.

I'm always ready to listen. It breaks my heart to hear that you been feeling blue. I know you've had to be discouraged with all the ups and downs. I sometimes wonder where you get the strength to keep persevering. But I am so thankful that you find that strength somewhere, Diane.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to finally seeing you this weekend.
I love you.
