Yesterday was a hard day because I had the swelling thing in the morning (and hence the Lasix-induced going to the bathroom the rest of the day) and I had many hours of shakes and shivers. The PA who was on switched one of my nausea meds to ativan. Almost immediately I had relief and could get some sleep. It was so good to rest comfortably and not shiver and not be rocked about with bout after bout of nausea.
So today I feel better than I have in days. I've already been up walking the treadmill, ate a half of a popsicle, and now back in my room with the light on. I think the light thing is a good indicator of energy. Hopefully this will last for a while and I can make some good progress. It's always good days and bad days with this thing. But this one feels like a good one.
So the word of the day is hopeful....

Ativan rocks!! Funny how off-label use works like that.
Glad you're feeling better.
Hopeful is indeed the word.
