Wednesday, March 30, 2011-Not Quite There Yet

I felt a lot better this morning when I woke up. I didn't have to blow my nose at all during the night and only coughed a few times so I got a little more sleep. It's after I got up that I had to blow my nose. So weird. My lungs seemed to clear up over night. Yesterday I couldn't breathe out without rattling and having a choking fit. I am sure glad!
So I decided to eat my usual bowl of Kashi mini wheat cereal with a half banana and the almond milk. I didn't eat a whole lot. I took my vitamins with it as usual but took extra zinc like I do sometimes. About an hour an a half later I got so nauseated and sick. I tried to puke but couldn't..Ha! By sticking my finger down my throat. I never could throw up very well even when I wanted to. I'm not sure what caused it but it felt horrible. I felt like I was going to pass out so I laid down on my bed for about an hour till it subsided and then I got back up. I still felt weak but a lot better. Poor Ricky, my Cockatiel, didn't know what was wrong. He came in the bedroom and got up on my pillow above me, which I don't like. I made him get on the dresser. I'd rather have him shit on the dresser than my bed. A lot easier to clean.. Poor little fella. he hadn't had his egg yet and I had just started to cook it but I couldn't stand up. I finally got it scrambled for him and then he didn't even want it, the little shithead....(My favorite name for him)
I rested in the living room in my chair and drank a cup of tea with some Ginger in it. I had to get to the store today. I didn't have any more Kleenex and on my last roll of paper towels and had used my last egg. I slowly started feeling better and decided to venture out at 2:45 pm. Went to Agway first for critter food then to Walmart. I did okay. What bothered me the most was the pain in my foot.
I was tired when I got home but so glad I got out. What a beautiful day it was! In the low 40's and sunny. For the next two days we might get some snow. Friday will be the worst they say. might even get a few inches. And that won't be no April Fool's joke. But better days are near!
I made a big pot of chicken vegetable soup when I got home. I ate a tiny bit. It will be my meal for the next few days.
One of the women locked herself out of her apartment so she had to come and get the master key from me. She told me that a couple more upstairs are sick also. Guess it sure went through the whole building. Just like a Nursing Home for cripes sake.. Sometimes it feels like a nursing home when you go out into the hallways and community room. Half these old ladies run around with their damn bathrobes and nightgowns on. I could never understand that. And some walk those dirty halls with their bare feet. Yuck!! Then they wonder why they get sick.
Anyway. I'm feeling so much better tonight and will hopefully feel even better by tomorrow. It sure feels good to breathe deep again!
Take care everyone.
By the way. My flanges are staying on for five days now!! That's one problem solved! And I don't feel any pain in the liver area today. Life is good!
