Dispatches from the hospital 3

[miintikwa]

I was really hoping there wouldn't be a "3" for these entries. Ah well.

My kidney numbers-- creatinine, IIRC-- are still poor. 3.6, I think? I forget. They went up .2 from yesterday, which is an improvement, but not enough of one for me to be able to leave. Sigh.

I went walking the halls again today, getting exercise, and I am sleepy now, same as yesterday. I hope yesterday evening is not the same, though-- last night, I couldn't sleep, and my anxiety spiked, and I had no way to deal. It sucked.

I told the dr, and he said he'd prescribe me sleeping meds, so hopefully that order went through. I do not need to be taxing my body with zero sleep while I am feeling this puny.

I'm waiting for dinner, and post-dinner I am planning on napping. I slept most of the morning, exhausted, and woke up feeling exhausted still. It wouldn't surprise me if all this wasn't sending me into a flare. Uncomfortable bed, anxiety spikes, lack of sleep... Bleah.

On the positive side, my sister-in-law and Mom sent me flowers, and they're gorgeous. Yay for bright, cheery things. :) Husbeastie has planned a prezzie for me, too, but I don't get that until I get home. Which is all the more incentive for "lemme outta here!"

I am staying positive, and trying to do what activity I can. Sadly, it still leaves me exhausted, but I'm working on it. I'm listening to my body-- I eat what I can, and don't force myself to finish if I can't. It's not easy-- and sometimes, like this morning, it backfires a bit, but I'll get through it.

Thank you all for the well-wishes! They really do help. :) And healing energy is welcome from everyone. I haven't had the energy to go through and answer comments, but I hope to do so when I can.
