This has been an OK day. Have had mild stomach cramps off and on all day. Thankfully no diarrhea to go with them but have felt kinda off all day. I slept for three hours last night, woke up and couldn’t go back to sleep until four hours later. Took a nap this afternoon and still feel a bit tired and weak.
Struggling to find a protein to eat that my body likes. It makes my stomach cramp when I try to eat it. I haven’t tried eating any fat yet as it turns my stomach to think about eating it. Simple carbs seem to go down well and not cause trouble. I’ll get there – it is just going to take me longer than I want it to.
Sent a box of 125 masks off to Jim’s son. His girlfriend has lots of contacts all over the country of places that can use masks. I’m glad she can help me find a home for them. Still have pieces cut to make another 150 or more plus material to cut to make another couple hundred. I have sent over 800 masks out into the world so far.
Today would have been the wedding anniversary of Nicole and Chris. I think of him so often. It is a bittersweet type of day.
I haven’t felt like doing much today. Low energy type of day so I am honoring my body and resting. I have sewed a bit off and on but haven’t gotten started cleaning house yet. The dust and dirt seems to wait patiently for me to come find it.
I rode into town with Jim to mail the box of masks. I stayed in the car. It was nice to get out of the house for a bit. I hadn’t been off the property since I went to the ED Sunday afternoon. Another week or so of quarantine and I should be released. I am pretty much symptom free at this point so should no longer be contagious but I want to play it safe and make sure I don’t spread this to someone else.
Today is what it is. Just grateful I am making progress towards healing. I don’t think it is a setback today – more of a reminder to continue to slow down and give my body time to heal.
Grateful for the life of Chris and the love he brought to my family, grateful for rest days that allow my body to heal, and grateful for the food I can eat.
