Not good, just better. Kidneys still hurt. Actually everything but the headache remains. Everything is muted, except the tired feeling of the heart. That is the same. Well, the fever has gone for now, replaced by chills. It's worse when they both exist at the same time.
I suspect the improvements are from aspirin and pickle juice. I am about to take a few waterpills and try for a nap. The V.A. has gotten back to me, but I haven't heard anything final. I may simply be required to wait until my appointment in January, turn in the social security paperwork in December, and tell them I am attempting to get the V.A. to more fully evaluate my conditions.
Sam is having difficulty eating. I am hoping it is just the cold. It cooled a bit, and got darker today. I know what that can do to me. But, I know, she is slowly slipping away. All I can do is be as good of a friend as possible for the time she has left. She has been a wonderful friend for many years now.
I best nap myself. I'll leave the door open. She may join me for a bit. Then again, I think she knows I am in a bit of a spot myself. Animals can just tell. Oh, but blood sugar came down nicely. I used 15 cc's of fast acting insulin and blood sugar dropped to 84 then 76. I... guess I don't need as much as I used to require. Later.
It's been another rough round for you I see. Hope the pickle juice helps soon. Dehydration can beat up most everything inside, especially kidneys.
ReplyDeleteIt's breaking my heart to read about Sam. They never stay with us long enough.
Prayers for both of you.
Thank you, Jean. I'll live, not many options, being lousy at dying and all. ;p As to friends, at our age it's a slow race to not have to be the one left to shut out the light for our peers. She is putting up a good fight, but time just won't stop, for some.
