My sister and her daughter were here this week to help organize B's stuff so my living areas are accessible. They did an awesome job and my niece did some baking as well for the Christmas party. I'm so glad they were able to come and help me out. I really appreciate it!
ME brought 3 of her dogs and Kari brought hers so there were lots of dogs around the house as well as all the activity. Majik mostly stayed hidden in my bedroom but was starting to venture out yesterday. They are gone now and the house feels empty, back to just me and the 2 critters. B is at work.
Health-wise I haven't been doing well. I run out of breath with the littlest of exertion. Have a new drug to take that is supposed to help with this but it doesn't really seem to be helping except when I take a lot of doses of it (can take it up to every 10 min and the most I think I've taken in a day is 8 or 9 doses). Have the nurse practitioner coming on Tues to see about increasing the dose and hopefully getting me some relief.
Finding it very depressing that I keep dropping in ability to do things - really hoping things take a turn for the better and soon!
My cough is back although still not as bad as pre-prednisone so I guess I'm ahead of the game with that. Wish ME and Kari hadn't had to see me at my worst. They were awesome at bringing me coffee, meals, etc.
Got Laura to visit with them a couple of times and another niece (Colleen) was able to come by to see them as well. I enjoyed listening to their chatter. Not doing a lot of talking myself as too damned out of breath! I so wanted to join in but had to realize the penalty would be too high.
Have an appointment at the Cross on Wed. I sure hope I am more able to move about by then or I may have to cancel. I can't move the appointment so will have to suck it up and go or wait until mid Jan for a rebook. Now to find someone who can take me.
Short post today. Nothing else to add. Talk another day
