You know that place where medical viability ceases to be a question and "I've done this before" leaves the conversation, well. I'm there.
Yep. Ladies and gentlemen, at this point with Claire I was in the hospital. And where am I this time? At home. On a couch. Enjoying the freedom of being allowed to walk around and even make my own cereal! Granted, I'm not allowed to do TOO much and I can't find the floor or really put on my own socks... :). But I have happy friends and family who are helping me get through this, locate things I've left behind, pick up things I've dropped, carry things that weigh more than I can tote, and drive my big belly places. Which is good. The last week has been 5 competent days, where I could remember my own name and what I was supposed to be doing most of the day and was mostly physically able (aside from too many stairs, too much walking, too much standing, or carrying anything). Then there was 1 slack day where I hadn't the energy to move much and 1 day of UNABLE. I couldn't do anything and certainly couldn't do it right that day. It was pitiful. But I can take 1 BAD day in 7! :) Here's to hoping the trend continues.
Off to refill the water bottle and take my blood pressure. Don't worry. It's staying really low. :)
