Finally feeling more human! I had a “real” poop this morning. Something to celebrate for me at least. Guess if you don’t celebrate the little things in life you miss out on a lot of celebrations.
The C Diff test came back negative which surprised us but is very good news. The Doctor’s PA called this afternoon and she is guessing I had a reaction to the shots and other antibiotic I had been on for the UTI. I am to continue on the antibiotic for the C Diff for the remaining 11 weeks and to call her back if the diarrhea returns.
Jim had gotten me a Tempest Weather Station for my birthday. We have had so much trouble with it. The first one didn’t register the wind speeds correctly so they shipped us a new one. When the new one came in the old hub went out so they had to send us a new hub. Then I couldn’t get the new system to work correctly. After a series of emails back and forth over a two week period they finally called me this morning and we got it back up and running. Jim needs to go put it back up on the 12 foot pole. He has had to take it down four times while we tried to get it running. Trusting this will be the last time he has to put it up. It is fun to check the weather on our iPhones but it has been a frustrating process to get it to work.
The jeans I ordered for him didn’t work so I dropped them off in the mail to return them this afternoon when I went to Cottonwood Falls to dump recycling. I also returned the Tempest Station and hub.
I called and got Jim’s doctor appointment with his new doctor set for next week. I still am waiting to hear if my doctor’s office sent my records so I can get an appointment. I have been trying for three weeks now to get an appointment. Hoping this is not an indication of what it will be like to get an appointment when needed in the future.
Jim called to get an appointment in Emporia to get his KS driver’s license. The first available appointment is November 30. He has to get his driver’s license before he can transfer his car tags. Hoping the state is still allowing a bit of grace for time periods to get those things done.
It is a beautiful day on the prairie. Temperature is 66 and there are bright blue skies and lots of sunshine. I didn’t have to wear a heavy coat to dump recycling. May need to take some time this afternoon and sit on the back deck and enjoy the sun. The chickens are loving being outside today. We had to chase them in last night when we went down to close them up. It sure is easier to get them to go in when both of us are herding them.
I can’t believe how good I am feeling today. I have had more energy than I have had in a long time. Got some cleaning done and don’t feel like I need to take a nap this afternoon. It is so good to be back to feeling human again.
As it turns out we could have gone to Stillwater today. Better safe than sorry I guess. Staying here will give us some time to get some projects done around this house with this nice weather. I am hoping to get out and do some painting this weekend now that I am feeling good again.
Jim went to Emporia to get some groceries and run a few errands. I want to bake the kiddos their cookies for the week and will run them into them tomorrow sometime. The kids haven’t let me know what kind they want this week so am waiting to bake until I hear back from them. Maybe they are getting tired of homemade cookies.
I finally got a good night’s sleep last night. I don’t think I moved much during the night as the bed didn’t look like I had slept in it when I got up this morning.
Grateful to be feeling really good today, grateful the weather station is up and running, and grateful for this beautiful day on the prairie.
