Today
Hi Heidi,
I'm doing pretty well today! I am doing everything I'm told:take lots of little walks, get regular periods of rest, eat healthy food, drink lots of water, take my meds. Biggest surprises thus far have been 1) late afternOon feeling of my back trying to force itself into a backbend, 2)inability to comfortably sit up really anywhere for more than about 10 minutes, 3) profuse sweating that begins every time I fall asleep.
None of these things are insurmountable. I spend a lot of time changing positions during the day, and the heated throw helps a lot. I am actually sleeping incredibly well at night and bet I would sleep right through if I didn't set my alarm for the medicine. I'm afraid to try that yet because I don't want the pain to get too out of control.
My kids seem to be doing okay with everything. I am still reading them bedtime stories, which helps.
I thank God daily for all the family that is helping, the friends and neighbors bringing meals, and all of you on the Forum for calming my fears and answering my questions.
Best,
Evelyn
