I don't know about you, but boring can be good. There have been no hospitalizations for awhile. We've had some cruddy days, some scary days of "go ahead, throw up again, and we are off to the ER" some days of OMG, she looks awful and is toooo quiet. Then she goes to bed, and wakes up early and starts in with the singing. We have a follow up appointment with Genetics on Friday at 10am. I've been taking pictures of her when she showers, to show her feet and hands. They are dark purple, that is scary. Her feet and legs look like they are from a 90 year old man with emphysema and fallen arches. I can get her to pink up a bit by having her take deep breaths, but then she ends up almost hyperventilating.
Our new handicap accessable bathroom is finished. It is wonderfully roomy and bright and cheery. Our living room has been finished also, we lost over 8feet of our formal living room for the construction, but it still looks nice. There is still more construction that will be done to the house soon, we have to have the sliding glass door replaced, the windows downstairs replaced and I'm hoping the kitchen will end up getting gutted. I can say this with a smile on my face, as I am now a renter, I no longer own my own home and I don't have to pay for these repairs. We do a lot of the work here, but it's a labor of love, as the house is a beautiful,older, center hall colonial that has been neglected for a bit. I love when the furnace acts up, I make a phone call and it's taken care of. No more worries. No more fretting about can we afford this? And the best part is, I can still have my dogs, whether they live with us, or just come to visit for dog boarding or day care.
Went to the allergist last week for testing to see what I'm allergic to, and whether I can do immunotherapy shots to deal with the allergies. Irony stepped in and said I was allergic to dogs, and not cats like I always thought! I'm also allergic to every tree and piece of pollen in the great outdoors, but I knew that. So, I will stock up on kleenex and Zyrtec and wash my hands after I pet or play with my dogs.
I'm fighting off a strong desire to lay back down and sleep some more. I get so tired of being tired. I want to be able to do what I want to do. My mind is going much faster than my sore, achy body will keep up with. It can really piss me off sometimes.
I'm going to post this and get something to eat and then shower and get out of the house, I hope. Thanks for checking in. e
