Hello to all! It has been forever since I bloggged. I know Jerry has kept you informed about my dad. They took him off the ventilator yesterday and he has had some respiratory issues since then. He is still very confused and very sick with a urinary tract infection and pneumonia in both lungs. Thank you so much for your prayers. They have been a great help and a blessing.
I found out today that I have shingles and bronchitis! The shingles are painful and they itch, so I now have pain medication, a z-pac, valtrex (no, I don't have herpes), and a cough medicine with codeine in it. What fun!
While at the hospital last week with my dad, I did fairly well with the diet. The only no-no was the salad dressing. Of course, I can't begin to remember everything I had because the days all seem to run together.
Today's (Monday) menu included:
Breakfast - Fried egg and turkey bacon
Lunch - Berry smoothie
Dinner - Chicken stir-fry with lots of fresh vegetables
Snack - I may have an apple or some grapes.
Overall, my energy level has been great with the exception of the days when I didn't get enough sleep. It's easy to get tired when all you do is sit at the hospital. That actually wears me out more than being busy at home. I have lost 13 pounds and am thrilled!
Have a wonderful Tuesday!!! Love to all.
