Sometimes you have to be your own doctor!




It's Saturday evening here. Not much accomplished today except I washed some dishes and will cook dinner soon. 

Chris's face is improving already with his Bell's Palsy and he can open his eye almost fully and his mouth is not as drooped. He is regaining his speech again and is not slurring his words as much. 

His sugars are way up because of the Prednisolone he's been taking. Consequently, he has been sleeping on the couch most of the day. The doctor wants him to discontinue the steroids so this morning was his last day. 

I was awakened by asthma early hours of this morning. The inhaler didn't help much but I still went back to bed because I was needing to sleep. Especially with my night medications. If I don't sleep for 9 hours, I can't focus properly. Plus I am having the Mother of all Flares with my fibromyalgia and can't stay awake.

We have watched all 14 seasons of Heartland and are now waiting for Season 15 next month. We miss it. There's not much on TV or Netflix that we really want to watch. But I like watching something with Chris.

We put our clocks forward an hour tonight as daylight savings ends. I hope to get a better sleep tonight and I have decided to take some of Chris's Prednisolone if the asthma comes back.-it is an average of a week to get into a doctor up here.  

Ya gotta do what ya gotta do! Sometimes you have to be your own doctor!

  1. I agree. You have to do what it takes.

    This is the first time to your blog. I really like your picture of what I assume is a shelf in your home. It’s very homey.

    We are building our cabin, and I enjoy seeing pictures of other people’s homes.

    Blessings!

  2. Welcome, Laurie. Yes that picture is in my kitchen. Mum left me her collection of teapots and I collect pretty cups. It does make a country cottage feel doesn't it? I would love to join you in the blog hop but is it just homestead links or can I also link with Morning Cuppas With Glenys which is more a devotional? Thank you for sharing a cuppa with me here today, Laurie!
