I got to speak to my hubby this morning and he is doing much better in many ways. His voice has lost the thin reediness and has a much more normal timbre now, although talking still leaves him breathless and sometimes sets him off coughing. The doctor is perplexed by some things, as to why he is not getting well as fast as they feel he should be, and has ordered another CT scan of the lungs, which seem to be the main issue. Mark said, his physiotherapy and occupational therapy are both going well, but he has no stamina, he tires easily and it effects his breathing. This is a long hard journey for him.
I'm thankful for all the prayers and the progress he has made but he still has a long way to go to be back to "normal", so please keep them coming.
As for me, today I have a goal of sweeping and mopping all through. The kitchen is done and I am resting up before attacking the living room area with the carpet sweeper. It's hard for me as I have difficulty standing to do it, but when I try to sit and do it, the sweeper handle folds so my efforts are thwarted. I sit to cook and wash dishes, fold laundry etc but the sweeping isn't something that works that way.
I figured it was a good day to do it as it's pouring with rain, thunderstorms promised, and as all my friends know, I am terrified of storms and don't get in the shower, have my hands in water in the sink, or go out if it's thundering or lightning. Yes I'm a wuss but oh well, it is what it is.
Have a wonderful day everyone. God is good. Please continue prayers for Mark's return to health. I appreciate you all.
