Quiet days sometimes are good days. I ate well today, but didn’t walk. I felt a bit dizzy but since MyChart doesn’t update me right away, I have no idea if my hemoglobin has dropped. I suspect it may have dipped slightly for me to feel this way, but beyond a little dip – I think I’m still sitting well. The Home Health Nurse came today – I had to show him where I ripped through the sterile dressing and caused a wound that is starting to ooze. He gave me a look…like do you see your claws. Yes sir…I do. Yes I did it to myself. 1) I didn’t realize I was going to get GVHD of the skin and 2) Telling me not to scratch is not helpful!!!! I really don’t want to file these down. But I think for the sake of my skin I might have to. I just got them done as a gift to myself!!!!!
Welp. Before the sleeping hits me and I spend the remaining evening scratching and potentially ripping my skin I filed it down. So sad. But I know it was the more responsible thing to do especially right now. I’m starting to yawn so it seems like the medicine is starting to take hold and it’s time for bed. Tomorrow will be an exciting day of Costco / Groceries for J and the kids. I will hopefully get 20 minutes on the treadmill in and go back to walking now that I can breathe.
