Today, I had my last detox and got to skip the coffee fun. I am on antibiotics for the surgery and that took two and a half hours this morning. It is only supposed to take one hour, but I think it was on Mexico time!!! Then the mineral drip, took close to four hours. David had to bring me lunch in the treatment room. My friend, Rhonda, put on the movie The Help. That did make the time go faster.
After I finished David and I went for a walk around the block and down to the beach. We didn't go down to the boardwalk but we stayed on top and watched the music show on the stage below. A little Mexican boy, maybe five or six, sang three different Spanish songs. He wore a little cowboy outfit with a colorful sombrero and danced around the stage as he sang.
The weather has turned colder and very breezy. I got cold and even the walk back didn't warm me up. Liz organized a Good Friday Service for after supper. The patients took part. One played the keyboard and we sang. Another read scripture and then they had Communion. I had to leave early due to exhaustion and discomfort. I think my stamina ran away from me. My digestive tract is getting itself back into motion after the surgery and sometimes the effect isn't too comfortable. Well, actually not much is comfortable, lately. This is my last treatment day, so I'm hoping to dispense with the IV soon!
That will help one discomfort!
I don't know how long I have to have antibiotic IV's, and stomach protectant. They did dispense with the pills since surgery. I get to start those again when I get home.
Goody!!! Here comes Pac Man!!!
Sabbath is here, so I should feel better, soon. Happy Sabbath!!! Salvador just came with the stomach protectant but the IV catheter was bad, probably why it was hurting
! So he took it out! I get a new one in the morning, but tonight will be sans catheter!!! Or protectant! Edgar brought me a heating pad for my arm. Maybe it will help my tummy, too. Liz came and prayed for me. I'm feeling better, already! Praying you all have a wonderful Sabbath.
Love & Prayers,
Brenda
