I woke up covered in sweat, felt like there was an elephant on my chest, eyes hurt to be open and I was dizzy.
Awesome another virus for me to catch! Just what I needed. I promptly took cold medicine and went back or bed thinking by the time my aunt showed up I would be feeling better.
Well I woke up at 2 feeling worse than ever. I decided maybe a shower would make me feel better but that didn't help either. Just helped move around the mucus and make me hack up my lungs for a bit. I seriously feel like that mucinex commercial with the gross mucus guy moving on in, but all I really want is for him to get the fuck out! Put your hat back on and mosey the f out good sir! I actually said that out loud earlier to my chest. Glad no one was around to see that display of almost a melt down in bed with mucinex in one hand and Tylenol cold & flu In the other.
So I ended up having to cancel my weekly date that I look forward to every week, but I can't afford to get my ladies or my nephew sick. Don't need to pass the germs around.
I am hoping to reschedule as I was really looking forward to that Greek pita and some quality time with my ladies and of course Ethan's funny stories!
I had read online that taking Imuran a lot of people said they caught every virus around and I thought maybe if I was careful I could avoid this happening but no such luck.
Anyhow I had a nice visit with my aunt and uncle even though I was feeling a bit rough it was great to see them. It's been really a good thing for me to see the people that care about me. It really does help keep my spirits up and stay in a positive attitude.
I love catching up with everyone but it's hard to really explain how far I've come unless people saw me in June when I was at my absolute worst. I don't ever want to go back there but I keep it in the back of my head.
Legs 8 weeks ago
Legs last night
Calves are starting to look more normal again which makes me happy :)
My legs are having a decent day although quite tingly I feel they are pretty stable. Now when I say stable as most of you know I mean with my walker.
I'm still leading with my left leg, but trying really hard to carry through with my right so I have a more normal walk but it's quite hard. PT said eventually I will glide the walker instead of Push-step-step-Push, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how that will happen. I guess once my legs get a bit more stable I can revisit this.
The walker itself is quite an eyesore. You would think for the $50 dollars there could at least be a choice in color instead of slate gray!
I added a tiny bit of flare with my bat bows before my trip on the airplane but they just aren't cutting it. I keep contemplating spray paint but I'd then need a second walker to get around with while doing so. And I think it may rub off on the walls and I don't know that my mom would appreciate that much.
I guess for now I will just keep my flare to my crazy leggings and purple crocs.
It's hard to feel like yourself when you can't even wear a pair of jeans! I miss jeans and my flip flops but cannot wear either at the moment. I keep thinking I may order some pajama jeans! (Don't judge me) pants with buttons are not exactly my friend at the moment.
Ok time for some more medication and possibly bed.
Also mom found me some of my old gems downstairs including this guy
