What Is Going On Here, I Sure Don't Know?

I don't know how I'm really doing. I know something is going on that isn't right, but then again, what do I really know?

Yesterday was a bad day. I was in bed all day. My blood pressure was high, averaging 143/90-ish. I had a headache all day because of it. I rested most of the day. I was nauseous. I took medicine for the nauseousness. I used both a hot water bottle and an ice pack. I think I have sinus stuff going on, too. So I've begun rinsing my sinsuses out in the shower.

My appetite is completely gone. Food does not sound good at all. I wonder if much of this is still coming off of the steroids. Those evil steroids!

I didn't even have my famous little breakfast in the morning. Around 1:00pm I forced myself to eat a bowl of Rice Krispies with a cut up banana.

The good news is that the swelling in my ankles is all but gone. I don't know if that swelling was the Gabapentin, but I'm thinking it was. I stopped it Thursday night. I will wait and see about restarting it.

Today was better in that I didn't have a headache, though I feel like it's just hanging out at bay--teasing me. I didn't even attempt to go to church, though, as I didn't feel that good. My blood pressure was better: lowest 106/72 and highest 133/90. Hmmm.

This numbness is getting stronger in my legs and bottom. I can feel, but it's just really numb/tingly. It doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing I have to think. Maybe I'm regaining sensations and it's a phase as I regain. Who knows.

My appetite is still puney, but then I'm just coming off the steroids where all I could think of was food and what my next meal would be.

The little neighbor girl and her step-brother (of sorts) visited me today. They'd surprised me the other day and did lots of barn chores for me. They stopped by 2 more times since then but I had to tell them I didn't feel good enough to visit. I didn't have the heart to do that to them today, so still stinky in my pj's I answered the door. They didn't mind. Halleigh, being the cute little tomboy that she is, bragged that she hadn't had a bath in 3 days!! I love that girl! So Halleigh, Kyle and I talked a bit and then I asked them if they liked games. "Sure!" they said. So I pulled out my box of cards and what did I have but a box of Uno. We played one game and was into our second game when their daddy's girlfriend called. She told me not to tell them, but they were surprising them with going to a movie and needed them to come home. They're such good kids. Kyle is a really good boy. Halleigh, of course, is a wonderful little girl. She's my horse-buddy girl.
