Guest guest Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I knew that I overdid it when I went to the quilt show but I thought that I would be able to stay quiet and gain my strength back in a couple days like I have in the past. I went shopping last week and was so weak when I got home I couldn't bring anything in out of the car and I have gotten worse each day. I had left arm pain and nausea yesterday again. Today, I am running a fever again and feeling very punk. I made myself get up and move around today to see if I would start feeling better but I didn't feel any better. I have been having chills on and off all day. I have been drinking fluids to keep myself hydrated and taking tylenol to bring down the fever. I am hoping that this is nothing serious but I am considering calling the base on Thursday if I don't feel any better. I am so aggravated with this disease that it can deplete me so much. I got a good night rest last night...slept solid didn't hear Jay come in this morning. I hope my sleep tonight is as good. I hope I feel better tomorrow.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Dear Althea. Please call your Doctor to make sure that you are ok. I don't like the sound of the fever and the pain in your left arm. Please take care of yourself. It is flu season and we are more susceptable to it unfortuately . I know you don't know me but that's ok. God bless you and I hope you feel better soon and stay warm!!!!!!!!!! Take care and love and hugs Nan in Michigan blueroses11 <bluerose11@...> wrote: I knew that I overdid it when I went to the quilt show but I thought that I would be able to stay quiet and gain my strength back in a couple days like I have in the past.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2005 Report Share Posted January 26, 2005 Hello all! Thank each and everyone of you for your warm thoughts. I haven't called the doctor yet but may do so before the day is over. I am doing a little better today but wonder if anyone else can associate with this analogy that I thought of this morning when I woke up. Tito - one of my cats came up to wake me and I reached out to give him his morning rubbings - something we do each morning - it is theraputic to get my hands moving. Well, as each joint bent it hurt and all I could think of was a pond covered over with ice and as you step on it, it cracks and the lines go out every degree for 360 degrees. I felt as though each of my joints and muscles were cracking in million of places and these lines were flowing out in every direction. As I petted Tito, I found that my hands were very hot and petting him although painful stretched those joints and muscles that didn't want to move but I moved them anyway and slowly they quit cracking and life became easier and I was able to get up. The pain in my left shoulder is diminishing but not completely gone. I still feel as though I am running a fever on and off but my breathing is easier today. I am up and on my computer this morning which is a plus. I am getting ready to open up one of the patterns that I bought at quilt show and delve into my fabric stash to pull out fabrics to make it. Folks I just won't give into this disease. When the Lord finally takes me up to heaven, he will find me still trying to do all those things that they tell me are supposed to be impossible for me to do. It gets more difficult to do things each day and I don't accomplish near as much each day but I am moving forward. I know this flare up will cease and I will have some good days - I just hope that that will start tomorrow as it didn't start today. Here I am sending some warm quilty hugs to all today. Keep me in your prayers as I keep you in mine. The more prayers sent up for each of us will help us more then anything else.
