Saturday.

 Hubby worked for the first time since my surgery. He hauled 3 loads of horses to an auction about 15 miles away starting at 4:30 this morning with 9 stops to get all the horses.  Came in, sat down, took a nap and woke with the chills. Said he was glad he not only lysoled his truck, he lysoled himself before he came in.

I'm like STAY AWAY FROM ME LOL. We aren't even eating together due to it and Lysol is our companion LOL. Heavens I am not over it yet and don't need a second round. Doc's nurse had it two weeks ago, said you are contagious first 48 hrs but you will not feel back to your normal self for a good week, possibly longer since I just had surgery. SIGH. 

Last night I slept ALL NIGHT. A good 9 hrs. I have learned how to ditch a throw blanket, pillow for the leg and haul butt to the bathroom. I can tell you the new hip is not happy sitting any length of time on the toilet, less happy than the old one that was used to me sleeping on the toilet during crohn's attacks.

Charlotte will always take my pillow while I am in the bathroom and she does not care if I lay my head on her when I come back. 

I was hungry today... shock... had a sweet roll Hubby had baked, a bowl of chicken noodle soup and a handful of potato chips. That is the most I have ate since this crap hit. Hubby had 4 sweet rolls, a grilled ham and cheese sandwich. He's not sure if he will feel up to eating when he gets back as he just got a phone call that a horse needed transported for one of the Amish he transported this morning. IF he does it could be chili, his go to when the few and far between times he gets sick.

I did the laundry, let dogs out and in a million times. Sunshine but cold. Wilbur wanted to stay out and lay in sunshine but it was just too cold for his old bones.  Rascal wanders around the house to find sunshine he can lay it. Charlotte is going out and then back in every time we turn around. 

Hubby took recycling in... they asked if we were recycling everything as there wasn't much. Actually after  full month it was next to nothing. Hubby said he could have put it in an old clothes basket.

I wrote out addresses for Daughter 4 as they are doing a welcome home Lizzie party when Lizzie is born. 

I sorted more recipes. Have one more batch to do.

I worked a little (very little ) on planning the gardens for this year. 

I PUT MY THIN DRESS SOCK ON MY FOOT.!!!!!!! Which also means I can wash my own foot. Hubby is very thankful for that goal being meet.

I am still working on walking up and down stairs and doing frog legs aka butterfly stretches and balance on one foot with eyes closed.

Time for Charlotte to go back out LOL

Blessed Be

  1. It is really beneficial to stay off sugar when you have any kind of tummy bug because the sugar feeds the bacteria. Tummy Soothe from Hopewell Oils will kill a bug in just one dose most of the time. Put a drop on the back of your hand and let ck it off. Nothing else by mouth for an hour. It can be repeated after 3 hours if need be. We are never without it and always take it when we travel.

    2. Image be how small the amount would be if you were only using one drop of a blend though. Nothing at all like eating it.
