EVERY DAY A CHORE

We left on our cruise on Sept. 3, had a wonderful time, enjoyed every minute of it from the time we left LR. Enjoyed staying with Sue and David for the whole month.

The day we flew out of Sacramento, I had a fever. Sue said you are sick when she kissed me bye.
I thought I was just upset of loseing Jeanette that morning, that was some of it but not all. I was sick all the way home. Begin taking my antibiotic but kept getting worse. The day of Jeanette funeral, I was so sick, Had to get up and go to the bathroom during the funeral, but could not wait . We left took David and Sue to Oklahoma on the 11 or 12. Planning on staying a couple of nights, just stayed one, needed to get home and wanted to visit Viola in Holiday Island before we came home. We did visit and had a wonderful visit with her. So sick we had to stop in Conway and spend the night and we needed to see Coy's ear Dr. there before we came home.

We came through LR I went by Dr. Brizzalara office and left a urine sample because the antiobiotic I was taking was not doing the job as before. They called the next morning and changed it to different kind. The bacterial infection Cipro would not take care of it. So they put me on Levaquin. I was very sick for over 2 weeks.


I called all the Dr. to make sure it was OK if I proceded with the surgery on my knee. They all told me it would not make a difference.


On Nov. Wed. the 3rd I went in to have my surgery. Thursday I got really sick at my stomach and had diarrhea, that lasted about 48 hours. Up and down all night and all day. Bed stripped and clothes changed many times. So glad Nancy stayed with me. It was a terrible time.


Left and went to rehab on saturday. I had a rash on my back so bad they took pictures when I entered the hospital. I also got the thrush in my mouth could hardly eat. I was there a week. Came home on friday. The next friday I got hot spots in my knee with a lot of swelling. The Dr. took me off therapy for the weekend. Begin back on Monday . I begin to have out patient PT The 2nd week of December. On Tuesday Dec. 21 I got up so sick, Coy had a Dr. appt in LR and I did not know if I was going to be able to go or not. I called Nancy to see if she could meet him down there if I could not.


I was throwing up and bleeding real bad , my colon was a mess. I could not believe I was so sick.


I kept thinking it would just go away, but it didn't. I got to feeling a little better so I went on with him, did not tell anyone just how sick I was.


So Wed. morning I was still passing a lot of blood so I called my gastro Dr. and he told me to go straight to ER. So I did and that experience is in an earlier blog.

It took me a long time to get my strength back and begin to feel good again.
On Feb. 5th. I woke up sick with upper respiratory problems. On Monday Feb. 14 I have another bladder infection. I give up. We'll see how I feel tomorrow , see if I need to go to Dr. Dr. Dr. Dr. so what next.
Coy's surgery is posponed until March 1, that is good in lots of ways.
