From Spunky to Punky

What a difference a day makes...

After a great day on Wednesday, I awoke Thursday feeling like I was in someone else's body. I was extremely fatigued, had a headache and my cough seemed to have gotten worse. While lounging around, I heard a noise on the front porch. It was a neighbor, Lorraine, who had brought me many wonderful prepared organic foods. What a lifesaver! Fixing a meal was one of the last things I felt like doing. Everything was delicious. I figured I would delay my walk a bit until I felt a more energetic. Didn't happen. By 4 pm I had a fever and decided to call the Hope Center for advice. Another round of antibiotics was called to the pharmacy and I was scheduled to be at the Hope Center by 8 am on Friday for lab work and an exam. I managed to drive myself to pick up my antibiotics but knew that I quite likely wouldn't be able to drive myself to Asheville in the morning. Irene, another neighbor, gladly volunteered. She was there bright and early Friday morning and drove me to my appointment. She even went with me for my labs etc. I had awakened with nausea that morning and was full of plenty of anti nausea medicine. In other words, I was a bit "loopy". She was actually there to help me remember lab results and recommendations. Thanks Irene. You'll have to tell me, again though, what was said. I still can't remember anything except that I need to be careful and stay away from germs.

I got through Friday without a fever and felt some energy returning by that evening. I still had plenty of nourishing food from Lorraine to sustain me. Thank you so much!

Today, Saturday, is a new day. I have some energy but, maybe not enough to walk. I'm sure I'm on an upswing and will be feeling more like old self soon. Happy Father's Day Weekend everyone!
