Wow, an update who would have thought!

So, I kind of abandoned this blog a few years ago. There is a real reason for it too. I started a new one with a more real open personality to it. All about my lifestyle. Maybe someday I would link these two but not for now. I write to you this morning much like I seem to have wrote about on here while being in a hospital. I was checked in on Sunday morning two days after Christmas with full blown pneumonia. I had been having problems with it for over 5 plus weeks. It escalated a couple days before Xmas by providing fevers and chills which made me finally get to class it from "just that cough everyone's got" to oh, you need to see a Dr. Which I had been doing a lot anyway. They checked me in after it was decided it was going to take IV antibiotics and breathing treatments / steroids to make it better. This marks my first overnight hospital stay in my life. Grr getting old sucks. The one night stay though has turned into a 3 night so far. Hoping to get released this Wednesday. I would like to be out for New Years! They have switched me a few times on the antibiotics and yesterday morning scared me with a sentence that they were going to speak with the infectious diseases unit with my case because of a blood cell count that raised. However that wasn't deemed necessary and was attributed to the steroids causing it to raise also my blood sugars. This event also had me on insulin for the first time in my life. They couldn't use my metformin for some reason it can interact with the other treatments they say, so they use a slide rule insulin device. It really hasn't lowered my sugar down where it should be. I never been this high for a long time. hopefully when I'm away from these steroids it will go back and I can start exercising again. Lord knows I have plenty of gym memberships to use.

Wonderful, the whole last post just dissapead. I think I'm too sleepy to keep going. Talk to you later... Let's try this thing again. I dislike the angle, and for some reason when I do the shift I think it doesn't always seem to space right. I don't remember but some other keyboard product does that to me. Well let's see if this will let us update or not.

What's going on?

Hey there, it's Saturday morning, hanging out at J's dog sitting for a couple days. Using my Google Chromebook for this post. It would be much better with a better trackpad. I hate the no dedicated buttons on it. I was trying to play words with Friends on it and it kept doing right clicks all the time on my trying to drag letters to the board. Mom and Dad are taking Zaylee to the Girl scouts horseback riding deal in Dearborn Mo. Never heard of Dearborn Mo before yesterday. Its halfway between here and St. Joe I guess. I am going to try to get something accomplished today before they come by for dinner. Plan to go put some more on my other blog. Not to be noted here. LOL. There is a race now to see who buys a new Ford C-Max first. I think my dad is going to before me. I just like to take longer to research new car purchases. I also don't think I want to trade away the Infiniti on it. I love the Infiniti sometimes, and it is such a nice car. I think I could get better money selling it outright. I won't get rid of the Versa of course, it is my should be forever car. Ok, let me get these dogs out again so I can go. Laundry awaits! And Cars! And Stuff! Oh hell, I forgot to talk about my super new news! I joined a gym, been going fairly regularly and love it! Planet Fitness rules! I hope to really lose some weight this winter and look good! Get rid of Diabetes! Ok, now I can go. L8r!

Fevers and all

Well, I pretty much have gotten over my fever from yesterday. That was a shitty thing to pop up. I also have this pain on the right side of my ankle. It's like it's on fire. Hope it's not a blood clot. I also don't know if that's what caused the fever or not. I am sitting out on the deck. It's cooler outside that in of course. With all this damn heat we have been having I have stayed indoors a lot. Sounds also like my furniture is starting to fall apart. I also smell cigarette smoke out here. Must be because the new neighbor is out on his deck watching tv right now. I will try to go to work tomorrow and get more stuff done. Maybe take a half day. Still need to go look at the fridge and see if it went down. I probably missed it. You watch.

Back in Chi town

Just got settled down in the hotel in Oak Lawn. We tried to take a train, I thought we could but know I figured out there is a CTA trains, separate from Pace buses, separate from the Metra. So we need to buy another pass to ride it, so we can then ride in on the CtA trains. Pain in the ass if you tell me. Why isn't it just one system? We ended up just calling the hotel and getting a free shuttle to the hotel. Wish we would have done that the minute we got here. I think it's time to test the pool out!
