Accomplishments

I feel a little silly, but I'm proud of myself because I have consistently done two things daily for the last two weeks-ish:

  • Brush teeth twice a day
  • Kept kitchen bar and table clear of junk and wiped down
Just those two things have really helped.  No matter how messy the rest of the house is, the shiny kitchen bar and the table that I can sit at are clean, and they are really visible parts of the house so it makes me happy.

My mom has been coming every Wednesday, and this is what she does:

  • Makes lunch and dinner
  • Vacuums the whole house
  • Mops the kitchen floor
  • Does the dishes and cleans up the kitchen
  • Sweeps the bathrooms (maybe mops them too, I'm not sure)
  • Takes me for a walk/roll
I feel so blessed...I keep saying that, but it's embarrassing the amount of help I have.  Someone else who is sick says "Oh I'm so sorry, how are you handling it?" and I explain all the help I have, and they're like "Oh...I wish someone would do that for me."  And I'm like "I'm sorry."  I think people want me to say it sucks.  But so far it hasn't that much.

Update:  I'm feeling less of a fog, more of an acceptance, ready to see how God is going to use this in my life.  I start a medication tomorrow.  I'm kind of worried about it.  I have to be monitored for 6-8 hours after my first dose, so it'll be a looong day.

A bunch of Christmas gifts came today.  You all know how I feel about wrapping presents.  I'm debating whether or not I want to.  A friend did offer to wrap all my presents because she likes doing that, but she has a busy schedule.

I got a new computer, it came today.  This one isn't working too well; things keep freezing up, some stuff doesn't work, I can't click dropdown menus...etc.  I abuse my laptops because I play so many games on them.  Anyway, Joe is renting a Minecraft server, so we get on and work on our world together, and some other of his gaming friends come on too.  Joe was already going to get me a laptop for Christmas before my computer started being ridiculous.  Glad I have the comp so I can take it to the hospital tomorrow and know it'll work, and Joe can work on it there too.

Soo...anyone want to come to the hospital for 6-8 hours tomorrow?  =P  Didn't think so!

  1. If I didn't have kids, I would come and hang out with you at the hospital! Wish I could. I hope it goes by quickly and there are no problems with the new meds! Are they supposed to help your legs not feel so "M-Sy"? ;) I am so glad you are getting so much help. Love you!

  3. If I lived closer I would totally come to the hospital! I'm so glad you are in such caring hands. God has surrounded you with such wonderful people. That's awesome that you were able to consistently keep the kitchen bar clean! It helps to focus on one thing, because keeping everything clean can be so overwhelming.
