Friday did not start off a good day. I awoke sweaty around my neck and hair was soaked. I will be glad when the weather decides what it is going to be.
My first thing was to go to the doctor while I am well! The receptionists and nurses were all compliments about how well I looked, like I felt better. One said she felt so sorry for me when I came in back when I either had flu or pneumonia, not sure which time. Since I told them I had not complaints, they were puzzled.
I talked to doctor and now I will not get uti again. Well, that is the hope and plan.
The doctor would not consider changing my diabetes meds, but I can go to original doctor who now works in Decatur. Okay, I can do that. Still hopeful, here. I do not need stronger meds, just different one that do not cause a reaction.
Employees at Walmart commented on how good I looked. Okay, and men smiled and spoke. hmmm...I did not even have on makeup today. Now, I love the compliments, but I wonder how bad I looked before. So, it made me happy to look well, not at all about men talking and smiling. I just am so happy to feel better than I have since last August.
One female employee heard another tell me how well and nice I looked today. Another told me it was the color of the sweater I had on. It is a purply-pink. Plum? Well, it is in the pink and red family that really are my favorites and do compliment my coloring. I am a winter, .
Pharmacist explained things about the pneumonia vaccine. I was fine at first. Then, I had huge raised, red place that hurt and itched. I did not scratch or take aspirin. He said the worse the reaction a person had, the more protection the person was getting. Do I have that right all you medical types. He assured me I would have less virulent sinus infections. Since the sinus problems are almost non-existent now, I am hoping for a miracle cure...lol.
I had terrible chills for about three days that swept in waves down my face and onto neck and chest. He told me about those, too. Fever is what I think he said. Hopefully, that explains all the sweaty nights. I just thought I could not regulate my temp anymore...lol...I think of strange things.
Maybe all these things mean nothing to anyone else and do not seem enough to make the day a good one. Well, I have been too ill for too long and hope is a powerful reason to be happy. Plus, I felt well and light on my feet. Oh, and I lost 2 lbs at doctor's office After eating and drinking a full bottle of water. And, the sun was shining gloriously.
The fruit flies are back in force. That has caused great unhappiness for the last few weeks. I am just not fast enough to swing the electric flyswatter at them. Plus, they hide on the window sill behind things and I am not prepared to clear the kitchen by swinging the flyswatter at them. So, I purchased a $25 cordless Black and Decker vacuum.
The fruit flies got in all food I tried to prepare. They got into the refrigerator and freezer. I was tired of the little monsters last year and beside myself this year. So, this hope made me very happy.
Just as the daffodils faded, the tulips bloomed. I was hoping the would bloom at approximately the same time for a spectacular display. I am so pleased they bloomed without my having to dig them up.
Groceries today: eggs. 5 lbs carrots, leaf lettuce, Cadbury Chocolate Crème Eggs (5-pack). I never can find the chocolate filled eggs, so now I have and that is my Easter candy this year. And, exbf will get one of the chocolate eggs, too.
Eating out: one soft taco supreme from Taco Bell. And I got the senior discount.
Looking back over this, it seems like a bunch of silliness and nothing to make me very happy. But, it did.
Have you ever had a day full of good health and good news about your health that you felt the day was a good day? What thing or things made you happy on Friday?
