May 9, 2023- No more daily blog

May 9, 2023

I DECIDED I WILL NO LONGER POST A DAILY BLOG. 

It always seems to repeat which pill I am taking and whether it is a good day or bad day. 
It will be a roller coaster for a while. 
In the meantime, if something major happens then I will blog but in the interim, assume nothing has changed. 

I will blog the beginning of each month to update everyone and so I can keep track of my own progress. 

Enjoy your summer!

February 14, 2023 Happy Valentines Day everyone. Steve and I always feel Valentine’s is everyday.   Today is a great day since I will be only taking 1 pill of  steroid and blood thinner twice a day!

I listen to a podcast and eventually fell asleep a bit.  4:00am- Had a bowl of cereal and then laid down a bit.  Amazing how wide awake I get and how hungry I am.  5:30am-Took my antacid along with ONE steroid pill instead of two now.  9:00am- Took my blood thinner  11:00am-Did some muscle buildup exercise which Natalie told me to do. It wasn’t easy. Could hardly lift my legs. So I stopped since it was so draining. Natalie said to go really slow.  12:00pm-  Took my targeted pill and then Steve made me a sandwich with bean salad. So good.  Rested in the sunroom all afternoon and soaked up the sun while listening ...
