I was rejoicing because this was the first week in 2 1/2 months that no medical appointments were on my calendar. Then I spoiled it by having to see the eye doctor yesterday. My intense coughing from bronchitis broke a blood vessel in my eye. I look mighty scary with one red eye. Other than looking terrible, this is no problem and will go away by itself in a couple of weeks, but since I have macular degeneration I needed the retina specialist to make sure it wasn't bleeding behind my eye. While in town we stopped at the mini-mall and walked a mile. Later I spent time in the greenhouse absorbing the sun's heat to heal my body.
Adding to my 112 lbs is not going to happen until I get over the nausea, regain my appetite and taste for food, rid my body of phlegm which I think triggers the nausea, and stop throwing up. My clothes fit me when I was 10 and 20 lbs heavier, but now I'm lost in them.
I accomplished nothing today, which is discouraging since there's so much that I want to do, but maybe by having a full day of bed rest I'll be able to say goodbye to the bronchitis soon.
