Brrr … it’s a COLD Sunday

We’ve been having some really code temps!  The low’s have been in single digits and one night even reached 0!  The high’s have been anywhere from 14-22. 

I haven’t been out of the house since Christmas Eve!  Winter is hibernation for me just like the bears, snakes and all those creatures.  I spend my days/nights mostly in bed on heating pads trying to keep my body from screaming with pain!  Thank goodness for the Hallmark channels!  Christmas movies just finished and now it’s onto Winter fest!

I had hope to spend this winter somewhere warmer but health issues are still making that not possible.  I am starting to see a turn around as the new med’s seem to be working on getting things moving out.   It feels good to be able to eat and know that swelling, pain is not going to torture me for doing so.  I’m trying to follow the diet of lots of insoluble and very little soluble fiber!  No raw veggies and veggies are limited to so many a week.  Instead I'm getting fiber from different sources.  Hopefully if things continue to get better I can reschedule a few more surgeries to bring this journey to a complete. 

I’m able to take a few steps and my goal is to again walk and get out of this wheelchair but I have to keep reminding myself that baby steps are better than no steps at all!
