So I haven't posted anything in quite a few days. Why? I was diagnosed with a kidney infection, and I spent Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday morning in the hospital. Now, having a kidney infection by itself is enough to make anyone lose their minds, but remember that I am also 25 weeks pregnant with my first child, so I was really upset. So many things going wrong? I didn't want to even entertain the possibilities.
But today, one day from being released, I am doing better. I can now sit up in bed all by myself, as well as walk upright and even eat something other than water. It is a wonderful feeling to be unplugged from the IV and the baby monitor, and I can honestly say that being in my own house has helped me a lot.
But still, that means I either lay in bed or sit on the couch all day. I can't have any pain killers (which I thrived on in the hospital) and so moving is still a little difficult. Thankfully, B had come home and done laundry and made the bed while I was stuck, and the house looked beautiful. But now, after we've lived here and B has become my nurse, the house needs cleaning and the fridge needs emptying. We've been eating hospital food since then and I'm still not up to making anything other than canned soup and sandwiches, sadly. B is pretty good cook himself, and has made us some nice dinners, but these few days have been tough on us both. Hopefully, when I check back in, I will have had the energy to clean up a bit and make that food. Ergh.
