This hasn't been the best couple of weeks I've ever had. Last Thursday, I literally slept all day, I felt so bad. I've been having some pain on and off but didn't think much of it. I thought so little of it that I didn't think it had been going on long but later figured out that it was much longer than the few days I had supposed. By the time I was in serious pain on Monday, it turned into a huge deal. I went to Urgent Care on Sunday, who determined I had a UTI. I was given an RX for pain and an antibiotic. Two days and four doses later, I should have felt better. Instead, I had fever and chills. I called my oncologist's office and was told that if my fever went over 101 to go the ER (it was Memorial Day). That night I went to the ER. My baby girl kept me company via text. I had an infusion of a strong antibiotic and fluids. The PA also changed my RX to a stronger oral antibiotic and released me- at 1am. Poor Jim had to wait in the car since the hospital ER was only allowing patients in. I noticed on my papers that the diagnosis had become kidney infection. My fever broke overnight, but came back yesterday afternoon. It broke again last night and has stayed down. I know I'm better because it's the first day I've wanted to eat. I made myself eat whatever I could choke down Sunday-Tuesday but it wasn't much. Today I want to eat all the stuff! I even did 30 minutes of low impact marching on the rebounder.
I'd like to share this, that I wrote on Monday when the fever started going up:
My Papa God is big, loving, just, honorable. He loves me. He loves to make His glory known. He doesn't do it more often because we silly humans already treat Him like a genie. He knows what we need, He's just waiting for us to surrender control to Him to provide. Papa is far above us in goodness. He is worthy of admiration, emulation, and adoration. I love my Papa with my heart, mind, and soul.
Finally, I'd like to thank my friends for inviting me to their farmhouse gathering on Saturday. It was rainy, but the kiddo and I stayed a few hours and saw a few people I hadn't seen since my diagnosis. I felt well that day and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I am so blessed that Papa God has put these people in my life who choose to share that with which they have been blessed. Truly they've been blessed to be a blessing!
