Good morning. It actually is a good morning, because I was able to EAT BREAKFAST!! I even cooked it myself! This is very exciting. Yesterday showed some improvement in that I was able to knit for a couple hours, until I wasn’t anymore. And I’m not sure if I’ll be able to pick it up again today. But back to food… I made some yummy whole wheat pancakes and Lemon Blossom Tea this morning. I am nauseated, but it doesn’t feel debilitating yet. I might be able to do something more than lay in bed and play Tetris for hours. And hours. And hours. (I’m not kidding. And when I play against the computer on the Hard Level, it’s STILL kicking my butt)!

I think all I managed this week was a couple days of physical therapy. It’s amazing how much more important it is to me now, (important enough to do it, even though it could make me ralph. Who wants to contract abdom’s for sustained periods of time while moving appendages when they want to hurl?), now that I’m looking at months of relaxed joints and increased pressure on the already very temperamental base of my spine.

I am happy that today, so far, I’m able to get out of bed. Maybe I’ll try for a little treadmill? Maybe? If my strength holds?

Oh, and I’ve lost a couple pounds. I think I’m around 223. Hooray for decreased appetite!

How’s it going for you?
