This has probably been one of the worst weeks since I got sick back in May. I have never been so weak. My big outing today was walking through each room in the first floor of my house. Yeah! I managed to get my butt off the couch for five minutes. My husband, bless his heart, went to the drug store and got me a shower stool so I could shower. I was complaining all day about how bad I smell and the fact I can't stand up long enough to shower. It was great showering but I ended up needing a three hour nap afterwards to recover from it.
I've canceled every appointment I had this week. I haven't been outside the house since last Friday. I only get off the couch for dinner and bathroom breaks. Oddly enough I'm not sleeping much. I just have no muscle strength. My husband has had to help me walk from room to room more than once and has had to pick me up off the floor twice now. This is not good. He is starting to bug my doctor daily for news from the infectious disease specialist I saw a few weeks back. I'm supposed to see my shrink Thursday but I'm not sure if I'll make it to her office. It is at the top of a flight of stairs and I don't think there is an elevator in the building. Could be a problem. Ahhh, leading the chronic life.
Stairs will wipe me out for several hours too. May I suggest that you call her office and see if she is able to meet you somewhere on the first floor? It has worked for me a couple times since I moved to No Cal.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that things are so rough for you right now. I wish there was something that I could do to help. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the support both of you! Love the idea of meeting my shrink on the 1st floor. This will be my first meeting with her so we are going to have to go over a few things like me canceling at the last minute if I'm sick. Its going to be interesting.
