Two weeks home…
And seeing improvements every day!
I am no longer using the oxygen I was discharged with (I actually only used it for a few days). My oxygen levels continue to rise and stay in a healthier range and I am breathing much better overall.
I am still taking a few of the medications the hospital discharged me with, but am finishing those up soon. I only take 5mg Oxycodone before bed and no longer need it any other time of day. My doctor says once I run out of the hospital prescriptions, I should be able to switch to OTC pain meds, if needed.
I no longer need to use a transitional toilet and am showering and getting dressed without help. I am able to go up and down a few stairs unassisted and get in and out of the car without problems. I am able to take short walks (very short walks, like to the car or the doctor’s office, but walking none the less). I now have new glasses, and a new phone which still needs to get some kinks out, but, I am thankful that I can communicate and take calls again.
We continue to see God’s abundant provision and blessings daily! We’ve experienced: financial provision, rides to and from appointments, Pj’s with easier access that are very comfortable, a new purse filled with necessities, doctors helping above and beyond, meals brought, friends visiting and sending notes of encouragement…and so, so much more! Thank you for your continued prayers and support. It means more than we could ever say!
I still have several weeks of recovery ahead and we are still trying to figure out more permanent transportation, as the car we lost was our only vehicle. I miss my work very much, but I do realize that I need to take things slow.
I am working on getting back to all those who have reached out, but it is just taking me a little longer to respond. If you have not heard back from me, please know I will be reaching out soon.
I love you all so much, and again, thank you for all of the support we have received.
