Doing better

Well here I am going into my third week from surgery. I am feeling much better. After the setback on the 7th of Feb. I had been feeling so good I thought that I could do some of my old stuff. I went to a church meeting, did my Food Pantry work, lunch with the family and then dinner at the church. Apparently I overdid it. I woke up on the 7th with diaherra, cold sweats, and weakness. I went to the doctor and he said that I overdid it, go back on the clear liquids for 2 days and take it easy. That night I also broke out in a rash. Most of the rash is gone. It is still on my legs and feet. I am taking it easy. I'm not doing the Food Pantry this week, one more week won't hurt. I did do the computer work for them. I might go to lunch with the gang this week, its at Boog-a-dee-boos. Yesterday for a change of scenery I went over to my sister's house and we worked on making Easter cards.

I am getting more to eat now. I have started on Step 3 of the diet. I get to blend/puree meat, fruit, and vegetables. I got George Church's Chicken for dinner last night and got me an extra thigh and mashed potatoes. Judi sent me home with her meat grinder and I ground up the thigh meat and oh what a thrill. It tasted so good. I did a chicken breast for lunch today and have extra for dinner tonight. I'll be on this step until about the 13th of March. I'm getting outside more and walking. I'm only using the cane. I even went out today and sat in the sun for a while. The sun was really hot and then I went for a walk in the backyard.

Well everything else is doing good. Thank you for your cards and prayers. I continue to feel the love and support from all of you, without all the support I wouldn't have been able to make it.
