Today I finally felt relatively normal. The bleeding finally slowed down and my energy levels were more up to where I’d like them to be. I can’t help but feel a bit frustrated that two of my precious four days off I spent mostly laying around on my couch or in my bed.
Today, however, I tried to make up for lost time. I cleaned out my fridge and freezer, went to the grocery store, did a load of laundry, dusted the kitchen, dining area, living room and bedroom, cleaned out all the kitchen cabinets, and mopped the kitchen floor. I still have to vacuum, and the bathroom is only half clean. The fumes got to me before I could finish it. I didn’t even touch the study, probably the worst room in the house. I also cooked a dinner, and cleaned up after that too.
For me, that was a pretty eventful day. I’m still very awake though. I’ve always been a night owl, and given a few days off it’s funny how I automatically revert to being a creature of the night. I’d finish the vacuuming, but I’d wake up all my neighbors.
On the whole, I’m feeling pretty good again, and doing an amazing job of not fretting about my pulmonary function tests on Friday. Perhaps it’s because I don’t know what to hope for, or maybe I’m just getting used to waiting for test results. I wonder, however, how long it will take me to get the scores.
The last time I had pulmonary function tests done at KUMed, I asked the tech how long it would take to get the report. “Do you know what you’re looking for?” he asked me. I did, and so he just printed me out a copy on the spot! At NIH they torture you all week and save it all for the wrap up session, which drives me crazy. So, I was a bit amazed when the guy at KU would so readily fork over the results. I didn’t even really have to beg. I wonder if that will happen again?
