Last night I slept in the recliner with a heated throw and another on top of me up to my neck. Nice and cozy compared to bed the night before, but the heat had me wake up with itchy arms around 3 a.m. Was able to go back to sleep and slept really well.
It was a really good day today, except for the visit from the home health nurse who had to draw blood because I'm now on a blood thinner (Warfarin). I have tiny veins that keep collapsing and eluding them. It took her FOUR tries, and they all hurt like you know what, but on the fourth try she got just enough to take to the lab. She later called with the good news that the blood work was good and I could stay on the current dosage of Warfarin. Yay!
Early afternoon the occupational therapist came to evaluate me. After seeing and hearing what I'm able to do on my own, she determined that her service won't be needed. Yay again -- one less person coming to my house and me trying to schedule.
I managed to wash and fold a whole big load of towels. Also stripped my bed and washed the sheets, which still need to go in the dryer. I'm sure I'll get tired if I try to make the bed tonight, but we'll see how it goes.
Two friends from my Bible study came late afternoon and brought me a scented candle, some broccoli cole slaw, some type of Asian soup with cilantro, a couple beautifully decorated cookies and a small amount of whole grain bread. They stayed to chat quite a while and then walked to my mailbox to retrieve my mail for me. I've had such wonderful support and feel very lucky and so grateful.
Although I know every day isn't going to be a good one, I seem to have had two good days in a row now. Don't want to push my luck, but it would be great if it's a trend!
