Greetings Everyone! Hoping y'all are planning something special for the long weekend! I had a little setback yesterday, so I stayed home from work. Woke up @ 2am because I could feel the inside of my mouth was filling up with blood - ugh! Rushed to the bathroom sink to spit out blood clots and was able to control it within a few minutes. Slept w/my mouth packed in gauze - so disappointing! With as much alcohol as Dr. Yakes used, I really hoped I would be having a major turnaround and could finally rest from having these bleeds! Of course when I removed the gauze and brushed my teeth in the morning, I had a little more bleeding, so I decided to stay home from work. Just did not want to have to deal with having an episode @ work!
My sister Celia and her son (my gorgeous nephew) Mark came by to see me and brought me lunch! They are so generous with their time, love and support in every way and we are so grateful! My brother-in-law Greg will be celebrating his birthday Sept. 1st - he is the rock in our family! My father-in-law George celebrates his birthday a few days later too! Mark will be traveling to see his parents soon as they celebrate 60 years of marriage! Wow! Such role models in so many ways - very blessed to have their strong foundation in our lives!
I continue my IV antibiotics, since that pseudomonous infection had reached the bone and is hard to get rid of. Got a call from one of Dr. Yakes P.A.'s yesterday, checking up on my recovery. I am amazed that I have no pain and minimal swelling! Anxious to get to work today and function normally - let's pray the bleeding goes away! Thank you all for keeping my spirits up - I was telling the P.A. how awesome I think everyone @ Swedish is as well! Have a safe, happy weekend!! I'm hoping to clean house and enjoy Hanz and Bella! Ciao!
