A difficult time.

.

.

Certainly not the worst I have had.  Waking at 21:30?  Give or take an quarter hour.  It was a pretty warm sleep.  Hot, really.  It was up to 79 up near me, 77 in the main.  Which really isn't hot.  So I had to think about it.  Ah.  I have a mild fever.  The infection sort of kicked in.  Wondered why I have been so weak, on top of other things.  Including feeling warm.  Fevers do that, hollow me out a bit, weaken me a lot.

Most of the simpler symptoms of the infection are mainly improving.  Going to the bathroom still takes a bit of effort.  But it doesn't hurt, burn, or else.  And, while I was told what hurt, on my back, wasn't my kidneys?  Whatever that was, it has improved.  Though, perhaps that is due to the new chair?

I fed Sassy first thing.  Have been changing her water ever day almost, it's still fresh from this morning.  I'll see about her litter before too long.  Been keeping pretty well up on that lately.  The furball seems happy with life.  Other than... getting older, as we all do.  Even that isn't a totally bad thing?  Life... eases on.

Blood sugar is down to 161.  Improving, but so very slowly.  It's something.

Nausea?  To some small degree.  Not from food, just because.  Infection?  Antibiotics?  All medicine in for the day, and the rest.  Oh, was beginning to have some sort of bloat, I think on the left side of my torso?  That was hurting for a few days.  I think it was related to the infection, as that was slowly getting worse until the new antibiotics were started.  Nice to have that odd affect going away.

Didn't quite get to feeling like I was dying this time.  Just felt like I was being dragged around, through the mud, and such.  Hoping the fever is going along with getting better.  Not a high fever.  I'm not sure where my thermometer is, or I'd check it.  Oh, it was 67 or so, when I woke.  It is 74 in the main, 76 up front here, with the house mostly shut and no ac's running.  A fan upstairs and the overhead.  Which is crazy cool for the beginning of August.  Running the fan, on the furnace, with it off, is a major improvement all by itself, though, to be honest.  And, I can usually keep a few windows open, so as to have fresh air as well.  The one thing that can't be done in winter.

Not sure I am up for long.  Would like to be up to, say, midnight?  To feed Sassy one more time.  Then head on back to bed.  Not feeling well, don't want to fight being awake.  If I can't make it, I'll close the upstairs, turn on the ac, and fold in for the night.  Later.
