Brief Update

I didn't have such a good night, last night . The pain returned in the evening.  I took 2 Tylenols.   It seems that every time I walk to the bathroom and back, the leg hurts!  I can't very well be without going to the bathroom, can I?  I'm supposed to drink plenty of water while I am taking the antiviral medication.

Today, I have been taking Norco for the pain.  The last 2 times I took Norco, I threw up.  I've been on the bed, sleeping on and off, all day.  Listening to chantings of blessings online.  

Yesterday, my daughter cleaned the house and watered the back garden.  Then, ordered groceries.  Today, she picked up the groceries.

Cousin P called in the morning to ask if I had any bananas - apparently her daughter was throwing up and wanted a banana.  I didn't have any bananas, but, when my daughter went to pick up the groceries, she bought extra bananas and took them over to P.  (In case anyone is wondering, P doesn't drive.)

I think we'll be calling the doctor tomorrow, to let her know about the throwing up.

Today, I am grateful for:

- My daughter and all what she's doing for me
- Heating pads
- Pain medications
- Online blessing chantings
- Daughter had a safe drive to the stores and back

  3. You really are having a thoroughly miserable time of it. I'm so sorry to hear that you now have vomiting to contend with in addition to the pain. Maybe your doctor will be able to offer a different medication for you.

    I can't offer any practical help but am sending you healing vibes and positive thoughts that you feel better soon xx

    1. Thank you, Nil. I called the doctor and left a message; waiting to hear from her. Thank you for the healing energy. I have been listening to the monks at the Dalada Maligawa chanting the ratana sutra, over and over again.

  8. Hi Bless,

    I’m so sorry to hear you’ve had a bit of set back … as I say, “two steps forward, one step backward!” Years ago my grandmother was visiting and developed horrible sciatic pain. We had to get her stable enough she could make the car trip back to her home. I ended up getting her a walker, which helped tremendously in terms of making it to the bathroom. Perhaps, one of your friends has one you can borrow? I certainly hope you’re able to turn the corner and get to feeling better for good!

    1. Thank you, Chris. My mother had a walker - I am going to ask my daughter to see if I kept it and, if so, pull it out! Today has been a bit better, but, I am resting in bed!

    1. Thank you, Sharon. The rest of the week has been OK and I haven't had to take pain meds (fingers crossed it will continue to be so).
