quiet
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Monday, October 3, 2011
It has been pretty quiet. Maybe because this is day 5 of me not having a voice? lol, not sure. So last week, when I had my dr. apts. my one dr. said part of my retina tore and then healed somewhat. He asked if I had experienced any flashing lights in my left eye. I said, it just so happened i did for about a week but then went away. The thing was, I was so sick at the time I didn't do anything more than make a mental note of it. I forgot all about it. He said, if it happens again, I need to get right in and he will do some sort of procedure to heal it up.
So, how does that happen, well with all the coughing, sneezing, and vomiting I have been doing, it is no wonder it tore. I have been having a bad coughing spell this week. So I figured I better take some cough meds, but I'm allergic to cough drops and I didn't have any pills, so I took cough syrup. I think that is what caused me to loose my voice. I took it about a day, and my voice was gone. Now it has been 5 days with no voice. Actually, today it is a bit better. More than a whisper, but the more I talk, the more of it I loose. So I need to keep it zipped.
Everything else went fine for my other apts. The physical therapist gave me a different type of brace for my wrist. One that is for both tendon issues & carpal tunnel. I have the beginning of ct. So I will get some physical therapy for my wrist and see if I can get it doing better. Hope so!!!
I'm also trying to get my strength back. I'm pretty weak, but in time I hope to be able to manage a whole lot more. I haven't tried meat yet... not true, I did have a little bit of pepperoni, but very little. My stomach gurgled a little but I was fine. I think I have to try more than that. But about all we have around here is pork or cheap chicken. I really want to try with something less toxic. Good quality chicken or beef.
Oh, with this whole coughing thing, I can't handle anything cold, so I have been drinking hot tea... ALOT! I just can't handle anything else. At least we are getting some fresh tea in the house again.
