The First Good Night

I'm not sure everyone realizes but I go to the outpt clinic everyday, 7 days a week. I needs labs everyday to check my numbers like my cell counts, blood counts, and electrolyte levels (sodium, potassium, chloride, magnesium, etc). Also, I get examined by a doctor or PA everyday and receive my 3 antibiotics that are helping me fight this pneumonia. Yesterday when I got to the clinic all of the Duke blue recliners were taken, they were double booked. And I had to wait another 1 1/2 hrs to be led back to even begin treatment. By the time I left at 5pm I was beat. I was supposed to get 2 units of blood too but we ran out of time. I'll get them today,

Last night was the first night of good rest with this pneumonia. I went to bed at 8pm. Then I got up at 10pm to drink a glass of water and take ibuprofen. I slept until 4am when I woke up hot and sweaty but not fevered. We will have to use this same recipe again and see if it works. The only down side is that I had a lot of coughing in the night as my air passages got drier and drier.

I've been up since 5:20am or so and already did a walk of the loop in the neighborhood; I feel fortunate to be on the mend.
Have a blessed one! Maybe I'll finally finish that Motherless Brooklyn book today that I have been dragging around with me, too tired or too dazed or too sick to finish until now. My clinic appt is at 10:15am this morning.
