Hello again. I am so sorry for not updating in over two months. My only excuse is that I have not been doing much (any) crafting or sewing at all lately due to having to deal with what seems like never ending health issues. It started out with flu like symptoms (slight fever, cold sweats, hot flashes, night sweats) that turned into a bad case of Pneumonia (chest pain, chest tightness, congestion, shortness of breath) that just would not go away, even after two or three rounds of antibiotics and a trip to the ER to have IV antibiotics. Luckily I didn’t have to be admitted this time, though. I was really starting to wonder if I would ever get better. I seem to be, though, so that is good. Although I still experience very bad chest pain about every three hours or so. I have been on pain medication for that since my last bout with Pneumonia back in May.
I’ve also been dealing with other health issues too. I was having some blurry vision so I had to get glasses for reading and being on the computer. I’ve had a lump in my left breast since May. I was told then it was nothing to worry about. I had an ultrasound of it back in August and was told it was just a cyst. Since then another one has formed and they’ve both gotten quite big and painful. I had another ultrasound about two weeks ago and have to have them biopsied this coming Friday morning. Then I woke up a few days ago with a sore and slightly swollen right index finger that’s been driving me insane.
It seems like I can’t get one problem fixed before another one pops up. It’s taking it’s toll, that’s for sure.
Usually I sew to help take my mind off of things that are bothering me, but I just haven’t had the time or motivation to do so. It feels as though I spend all of my time either scheduling doctors appointments or at them. It’s no fun when pretty much the only time you leave your apartment is to go see another doctor.
That is all for now. Maybe I’ll write more later or tomorrow.
