Sometimes it seems like you take one step forward and then two back. I am so happy to report that my ankle is getting so much better! It's not pain free but I have come so far! I can walk around my room and some of the time I can walk around the house with just a brace. I still wear the boot out of the house because I'm a scaredy cat!
Last week the weather changed here in Utah as it often does in April. It feels like winter one day and spring the other. My lungs do not like that. It throws them into a downward spiral. I kept forging forward but to no avail. I'm in bed today and it's hard to talk. I have lots of meds at my disposal but with each one you take there are other consequences and effects on other parts of your body so I hesitate to take them. If I were a person that reacted normal to medication, I would take some low dose steroids and get on with life. I'm not and so here I am.
I'm upset because I have a lot to do and it also leaves a lot on my husband John's shoulders. He already works a ton and goes to school at night. I have great kids that help a lot and can fend for themselves quite a bit. I have a great support system with family,friends and my awesome ward family and I know I can ask them if I need help but it is just plain YUCKY!
I will get past this but if you are someone I disappointed this week now you know why! I also have had too much time to watch the Boston and Waco tragedies unfold on the news, I pray for those involved.
So it's Saturday tomorrow and a new day with new possibilities!
