recovering
Jul. 10th, 2009 12:10 amI just discovered that I have a "normal" body temp for the first time in over two days. Hoorah for modern medicine huh? I'm exhausted but I'm not sobbing level in pain anymore. And this is after the pain meds have worn off. This is good. Dr still took me off the schedule for Sat too. Which does mean that I have a day to catch up with Bri from being sick for two days she was here.
Tomorrow is still quarantine until evening. I'm ok with that. I will sit at home and not do a hell of a lot. Bri is going to MOA with her cousins in town for one of their birthdays. There is talk of them coming over here to see the house. I wonder about the wisdom of that but they have been warned. They also want to do dinner with us. We'll see how tomorrow goes.
L mentioned to me, as he was talking me through a nasty spot, that I'm really good at dealing with pain. That I'm well equipped to deal with it. That has been an interesting thought floating around in my head. I have noticed that I can simply allow it to be, to admit it exists, let it wash over me, and move in with what I can do not needing to focus on it. Denial never got me anywhere.
An EMT friend of mine asked me a couple of questions and said I should have a rheumatologist test me for Lupus. He thinks I have been misdiagnosed. I have a referral to one anyway. Its an angle that wasn't ruled out previously.
