It is now Monday the 25th, still sick, got myself to the Dr. on Sat., ended up having a burst eardrum last Thursday morn, turned into a raging ear infection and a sinus infection. But No pneumonia tho. LOL - I took decongestants all last week and now I'm on ear drops and a Z-pack I thought I felt better today, a little dizzy but OK, that was till I bent down to do some cleaning. got so dizzy that I nearly fell. Grateful that I could hold on to something till the dizziness passed and was able to get over to a chair to sit down. Boy I am wondering what am I doing wrong? my immune system seems to be so down that I just go from one infection to the other.... 1st the bad UTI that the new Dr. I saw ordered such an expensive antibiotic I couldn't afford it. So I had to ride that one out. Now this burst eardrum and an ear and sinus infection that hopefully will abate soon with the ear drops and Zithromax. I did not count on this dizziness. I certainly don't want to fall and break something! I will have to look and see if I can somehow get my immune system up to par. Get Healthy and get moving! for now I will use my 4 pronged cane to maneuver in my home and probably get to bed to rest for a bit. I am not enjoying being sick at all and want to get to my sewing machine to finish up my mug rugs before the 28th. I want to send them off by next Monday at the latest.
I was looking at the cutest fabric from Christa Quilts. I think it will go nicely with the bags I am looking at creating for Christmas for my little George, William, Nathan, James, Ethan, Mason & ? The bags will be a good size to hold cars, baby toys and such. easy for them to carry and just boyish enough. I only need 1/2 fat quarter for each bag and a zipper....
Feeling less dizzy this Eve. Happy Monday to all. Blessings. from this Dizzy Dame here at Creative Lady's Enthusiastic Thoughts.

My Journey to Health - Ha Haaa
A Blown Disk! #@%## Me? What the?
As most of you know I had my right shoulder replaced 8 weeks ago. I am healing well and am able to use my arm. I can sew again. I am not able to put on a necklace yet but that will come. Yeah! Even tho my shoulder is healing my back and right leg have been very bothersome and painful these past 6 weeks. It started as a glitch in my right side sciatic area. usually it resolves itself in a few days but 6 weeks is ridiculous. I have been unable to stand on it fully and have had muscle spams big time.
I decided to call my Spine Dr because it just hurt so. I am taking pain meds but I don't like to do it. Last week I had an MRI done and today the Dr's office called and wanted me to come in. So He viewed the results and indeed something did change since my last MRI in May/June. I have a herniated disk! Ouch he had 2 ways to deal with it. get a shot in my back or have surgery to repair it. Wow - well I did not really want to have surgery yet - too soon I need to give my arm a little more time to heal. I felt that the injection would be a better option at this time. So we scheduled me for Friday afternoon. Then I am to call back in 2 weeks and if it has not been helpful I will be scheduled for surgery on my back to repair the blown disk.... Ouch again -
I am very fortunet to have OT & PT come to my home these past 5 weeks. they have been very understanding and helpful with both my shoulder and my back pain....Thankfully.... So I continue on my jouryney to health! it had been quite a journey through the summer.
