So first a health update...after 1.5wks off antibiotics I ended up back on them. just finished a course of cipro. still on prednisone..um yay (not!). Its been a rough few weeks with fever and a lot of pain. Upped my vest to atleast 40 minutes 2x a day (preferably 3x). I spend more time hooked to machines than not...don't get me wrong I am very very thankful for those machines. Started on wellbutrin 2wks ago...I think anyone dealing with everything that I have to deal with would be somewhat depressed and I was due for tweaking of those meds. My heart....Lopressor was working good but my hr is staying in the 120s now...I see cardio at the end of the month and fully anticipate a dose uppage. Yesterday my 02 didn't want to go over 92. I think that covers everything. I do everything I can on good days and rest and take it easy on bad ones. Got several dr appointments in the next few weeks
So what I have been doing? Watching DVDs, listening to music, discovering new podcasts and reading lots of books. I have developed a huge CD collection and spend yesterday organizing them. And an even bigger book collection. Hey gotta have entertainment when I'm doing treatments and sick. I'm immunocompromised thanks to longterm pred and so with the flu and other nasties going around I am somewhat housebound. Can go out where it isn't crowded if I wear a mask. Other than that its home. So finding new ways to stay busy. Teaching myself to crochet with some help from my grandma, writing lots etc.
I have been priviledged to spend lots of time with God. I know not everyone has the oppertunity to spend so much time just sitting in His presence and seeking Him. I find myself continually talking to Him throughout the day. I have spent lots of time in His word and find myself remembering scripture throughout the day. Working on memorizing psalm 91, reading the new testament, listening to John and the Psalms and doing a Max Lucado study on Hebrews. God has really been working on me about "be careful little eyes what you see, be careful little ears what you hear"...so I have been really evaluating what I read, watch and listen to
Its coming up on 2 years since the rape..but thats a whole nother post.
I guess thats all...thats my life
