Health Update


This has been the year from hell for me and my husband. I have been sick, sick, sick for most of the year. I will update you on my present state.

When I got out of the rehabilitation center at the end of April, I had a home health care program where a nurse and physical therapist helped transition me to being home. I became stronger quite quickly, graduating from a walker to a cane and then to just me. A bloodclot I developed in the hospital required for me to take a blood thinner for about eight weeks. The bloodclot finally dissolved, and that was a step in the right direction.

I had a few months of feeling very good. Then about two weeks ago, I developed a sinus infection, which in turn developed into pneumonia. So......I have been battling that for awhile. Today is the first day that I can tell a turn-around for improvement.

Who knows what the rest of the year will bring! I do know that I appreciate every day I have and the people who enrich my life and care so much about me.
