Can We Talk 2

Home Again

         I only missed four days, but it feels like much longer. I was in tremendous pain, had some uncontrollable bleeding issues and am just plain exhausted. My blood pressure got creepy low, my body temp didn't register, and my pulse was 38 I had to wonder if I was on the way out. They told me, it was dehydration, losing so much blood, and not eating for two days. They adjusted some medications to try to offset some problems. Being glued to a bed for days didn't help.

         I am going to try to have a positive focus and follow instructions- No unnecessary bending from the waist, no step climbing for two weeks, no lifting, no vacuuming, no lifting wet laundry. I have to time some inside walking and increase a few minutes each day. I don't have as much enthusiasm afterwards as I did before, but I am hopeful that will change as I get stronger.
